Summary

This study aimed to evaluate the effects of the intrapartum care model provided in line with the World Health Organization (WHO) recommendations on labor pain, fear, comfort, duration, oxytocin use and perception of midwifery care.

Detailed description

The research is a randomized controlled trial. The research was conducted with 124 primiparous pregnant women (intervention group n=62, control group n=62) who were hospitalized in the delivery unit of Aksaray Training and Research Hospital between September 2023 and January 2024. The pregnant women in the intervention group were given the intrapartum care model in line with WHO recommendations after cervical dilation reached 5 cm. The control group received only the standard intrapartum care in the hospital. Data were collected using the personal information form, labor and postpartum follow-up form, Visual Analog Scale (VAS), Labor Comfort Scale (DKS), Intrapartum Fear of Labor Scale, and Women's Perception of Supportive Care Given During Childbirth Scale. VAS, DKS, and Fear of Childbirth scale were applied to women in both groups when cervical dilation was 5 cm and 9 cm. After birth, the Women's Perception of Supportive Care Given During Childbirth scale was applied.
