Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Pain severity. Timepoint: The pain will be evaluated in several stages in both groups; first, before interventions and care, immediately after intervention, then every hour until the second stage of delivery, and at the end one hour after the delivery. Method of measurement: It will be measured using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS).;Duration of the active stage of labor. Timepoint: We will measure the time from the start of the active phase (reaching dilatation to 4 cm) to the end of the active phase (dilatation reaches 8 cm). Method of measurement: The duration will be determined from partography. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Frequency of satisfactory labor progress. Timepoint: during the active phase of labor will be determined. Method of measurement: It will be determined by examining the amount of dilatation of the cervix by vaginal examination, the fetal head descending , and the characteristics of uterine contractions by using partography.;The frequency of using sedative medications. Timepoint: From the start of interventions to an hour after the completion of labor. Method of measurement: The amount of its using dose will be recorded in the partography.;Frequency of need for oxytocin injection. Timepoint: From the beginning of the interventions to the end of labor. Method of measurement: The use or non-use of oxytocin will be recorded in the form of a partograghy and, if used, the number of drops per minute will be recorded in the partography.;1st and 5th minute Apgar Score. Timepoint: The first and fifth minutes after birth will be checked. Method of measurement: The Apgar score is obtained using the Apgar score table. | — |
