Brief summary

THE EFFECT OF NEURO LINGUISTIC PROGRAMMING ON LABOUR PAIN, FEAR, DURATION AND MATERNAL SATISFACTION

Detailed description

In this study, it is aimed to determine the effect of neuro linguistic programming on labour pain, fear, duration and maternal satisfaction. Sample size: * The sample size of the study is 124 (for primiparous=62, multiparous=62). * Frist, primiparous women who applied to the hospital for vaginal delivery will be divided into 2 arms as 31 experimental group and 31 control group. * Second, multiparous women who applied to the hospital for vaginal delivery will be divided into 2 arms as 31 experimental group and 31 control group. Data Collection Tools; * Introductory Information Form, * Visual Analog Scale for Pain, * Wijma Birth Expectation/Experience Scale B version, * Birth Satisfaction Scale Application time: * The neurolinguistic programming will be applied to the experimental group. NLP application will be done when the cervical opening is 4 cm, when the cervical opening is 5-6 cm, when the cervical opening is 7-8 cm.NLP application will be done three times in total. Each session will last 20 minutes * No neurolinguistic programming will be applied to the control group. Measurement time: * Introductory Information Form will be completed by the woman when the cervical dilatation is 3-4 cm. * VAS for pain will be measured before and immediately after the application when cervical dilatation is 4 cm; before and immediately after the application when cervical dilatation is 5-6 cm; before and immediately after the application when cervical dilatation is 7-8 cm; when cervical dilatation is 9-10 cm. * Wijma Birth Expectation/Experience Scale B version and Birth Satisfaction Scale will be completed by the woman in the postnatal ward at approximately the second hour postpartum after the birth has taken place. * The labour duration will be started for the mother who comes to the delivery room when the cervical opening is 4 cm and the total labour duration will be measured in minutes after the birth occurs. * The control group will not be administered NLP only, but the measurements will be completed as in the experimental group.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Birth Satisfaction Scale;between approximately the second to sixth hours postpartumBirth Satisfaction Scale; The score that can be obtained from the scale is between 30-150 points. The change in the score obtained from the scale from birth increases.
Labour durationthe duration of labour will be calculated in minutes from the time the cervical opening begins until the fourth stage of labourLabour duration; time will be measured in minutes
Visual Analogue Scale for Painimmediately before neuro linguistic programming application when the cervical opening was 4 cm, 5-6 cm, 7-8 cmVisual Analogue Scale for Pain; Scores between 0-10 are received. The difference in score indicates that the pain is aching.
Wijma Birth Anticipation/Experience Scale B version;between approximately the second to sixth hours postpartumWijma Birth Anticipation/Experience Scale B version; The minimum score from the scale is 0 and the maximum score is 165 points. If the total score obtained from the scale is below 66, it is considered mild, between 66 and 85, it is considered moderate, and above 85, it is considered severe fear of childbirth.
