Focusing on the Maryam's Flower During the Birth

To determine the Effect of Focusing on the Virgin Mary Flower during the Birth Process on Labor Pain, Labor Duration and Perceived Fatigue in Birth.

Method: The study will be completed in a randomized controlled manner with a total of 126 primiparous pregnant women, 63 in the experimental group and 63 in the control group. Pregnant women in the experimental group will focus on the Virgin Mary flower in the water-filled jar and imagine that their uterus and birth path are opening like the branches of the Virgin Mary flower that blooms as labor pains come. There will be no intervention in the control group other than routine midwifery care. Research data will be collected with the Pregnant Introduction and Birth Process Follow-up Form, Visual Analog Scale, and Visual Similarity Scale for Fatigue.

Primary outcomes

  1. severity of labor pain by VAS

    Time frame: immediately after intervention

    Visual Analog Scale: The scale features a 10-cm long vertical line, with 0 at the bottom end and 10 at the top end

  2. Visual Similarity Scale for Fatigue

    Time frame: immediately after intervention

    The scale consists of two subscales, fatigue and energy, and 18 items. There are 10 cm long horizontal lines with positive expressions at one end and negative expressions at the other end of the YİBGS. While the items of the fatigue subscale progress from positive to negative, the energy subscale has the opposite order. The lowest score obtained from the fatigue subscale is 0 and the highest score is 130. In the energy subscale, scores range from 0 to 50.
