Summary

This study is designed to evaluate the effect of the Labor Hopscotch exercise on the birth process and maternal satisfaction. The study will be conducted as a randomized controlled trial at a tertiary-level maternity unit. Eligible pregnant women will be recruited during the active phase of labor and randomly assigned to either the intervention group or the control group. Participants in the intervention group will receive the Labor Hopscotch exercise program during labor in addition to standard intrapartum care. The control group will receive standard intrapartum care only. The Labor Hopscotch exercise program consists of structured physical movements adapted to the stages of labor and is implemented under the supervision of trained healthcare professionals. Data will be collected using standardized data collection forms, obstetric records, and validated measurement tools. Information related to sociodemographic characteristics, obstetric history, labor characteristics, and maternal experiences during labor will be recorded. The study is conducted in accordance with ethical principles and relevant institutional guidelines.
