About this study

Application of the Research: Informed voluntary consents will be obtained in written and oral form by giving the necessary information about the study to pregnant women before the application. The form will be signed ". Environmental stimuli before the procedure (noise, heat, light, touch, etc.) will be brought under control. Pregnant women admitted to the maternity hospital will be assigned to the intervention and control group using computer-aided randomization. Routine maintenance will be applied to both groups in the study. Anamnesis and blood are routinely taken from pregnant women admitted to the maternity unit within the scope of routine care in the institution where the research was conducted, and NST is connected by inserting an intravenous catheter. STAI and VAS will be filled in before the application to both groups of pregnant women. after application, the forms will be applied again at the beginning of the active phase (cervical opening 4-5 cm) and at the end (cervical opening 6-7 cm). In both groups; pulse, respiration and oxygen saturation will be evaluated with body temperature at the beginning of the active phase (cervical opening 4-5 cm) and at the end (cervical opening 6-7 cm) before and after the application. With decemberibel meter, the frequency range will be kept within the range of 30 dB-90 dB. Participants will be able to adjust the volume of their baby's voice at their own level. No noninvasive and invasive interventions will be applied to pregnant women in the intervention group during the application. If the control group is pregnant, only routine care will be performed. Both groups of pregnant women will be completed with STAI, VAS and the Postpartum Attachment scale before and after the application. The researcher should constantly monitor and evaluate the mother and fetus during the application process, and when discomfort develops, the procedure will be terminated and the clinical specialist physician will be informed.

Treatment and study plan

Non-stress test

Device

It will be performed with the HUNTLEIGH brand BD4000XS-2 model NST device located at the maternity clinic to listen to the fetal heart sound, approximately min 3 max 5 min will be listened to. According to the studies conducted in the literature, the half-life of adrenaline in plasma is 3 minutes when an invasive/noninvasive intervention is performed on an adult individual. Therefore, the fetal heart rate will be listened to for 3 minutes (Dalal & Grujic; 2021; https://www.medicines.org.uk/emc/product/6284/smpc#gref https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK482160 / )

Primary outcomes

  1. VİSUAL ANALOG SCALE

    Time frame: immediately Before application

    Visual analog scale: The scoring system is between 0 and 10. 0 is considered as no pain, while 10 is considered as unbearable pain.

  2. STATUS AND CONTINUOUS ANXIETY SCALE

    Time frame: immediately Before application

    The state anxiety scale consists of 20 statements. The state anxiety scale requires the individual to answer the feelings or behaviors experienced in the current situation by marking one of the options such as (1) Not at all, (2) A little, (3) A lot and (4) Completely according to the degree of severity.

Other outcomes

  1. Postpartum Attachment Scale (PASAS):

    Time frame: In the first 24 hours postpartum after delivery

    Postpartum Attachment Scale (PASAS): It was developed by Brockington et al. (2001) to evaluate the mother's attachment to her baby in the postpartum period and to identify problems in the relationship between mother and baby. Turkish validity and reliability study was conducted (Yalçın et al, 2014). The scale, which was answered by mothers, consists of 25 questions and is a 6-point Likert-type scale defined as "always", "very often", "quite often", "sometimes", "rarely" and "never". 17 of the questions are calculated in reverse order. These questions are questions 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 10, 12, 13, 14, 15, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 23, 24. High scores obtained from the scale indicate an increase in attachment problems.
