Brief summary
The goal of this study was to compare the effects of ice massage and virtual reality animation on labor pain, duration, and satisfaction with delivery. The main questions aims to answer are: H1 There are differences between Ice massage group and/or virtual reality animation groups and the control group in women's' labor pain. H2 There are differences between Ice massage group and/or virtual reality animation groups and the control group in women's' labor duration. H3 There are differences between Ice massage group and/or virtual reality animation groups and the control group in women's' satisfaction. This randomized controlled trial (n = 94) includes three arms. Two intervention groups (ice massage (IMG); virtual reality animation (VRA)) and one control group, (CG). Personal information form, and Visual Analog Scale (VAS) and Birth Satisfaction Scale will used to collect data. Frequency and percentage calculations, Mann Whitney U, Kruskal Wallis test, chi-square test, Tukey's honestly significant difference test, and will used for data analysis.
Interventions
OTHERice massage
active phase when cervical dilatation was 6-8 cm. Ice will apply to the huko point (LI4 area) which is located on the dorsum of the hand, between the first and second metacarpal bones, between the thumb and the index finger for 20 minutes with an ice pack
OTHERvirtual reality animation
cervical dilatation was 6-8 cm. Immediately after the second VAS application, the women will be asked about the video they wanted to watch of the sound of waves in the Ocean, rain falling or blooming trees with virtual reality glass. animation will show for a total of 20 min.
