Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Visual Analog Scale (VAS) Score | In the labour (active and transition phase) | The score ranges from 1 to 10 peints, with increasing score reflecting more discomfort |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Postpartum Comfort Scale | At the enf of the delivery (In the 24 th hours) | It is possible to score between 34 and 170 on the scale. An increase in the scores obtained from the scale represents a high level of comfort. |
| Posttraumatic Growth Inventory | At the enf of the delivery (In the 24 th hours) | A minimum of 0 and a maximum of 105 points can be obtained from the scale. As the score obtained from the scale increases, it is thought that the level of post-traumatic development is higher. |
