Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The development of striae is one of the most common skin changes in pregnancy. The aim of this study was to investigate the clinical efficacy of olive oil on the severity and progression of striae gravidarum.

This randomized controlled clinical trial included 156 primipara women who were early third trimester. They were randomly allocated into two groups: an experimental group and a control group. Women in the experimental group applied olive oil to their abdomen twice a day in the morning and evening. The control group had no intervention.Data were collected using maternal information form, Fitzpatrick Skin Type Scale and Davey's Severity Score.

Participants Caregivers

This study was a randomized controlled clinical trial. To avoid bias, an impartial midwife who was working in the outpatient clinic on the day the data were collected and was not among the researchers asked each participant to select one of two closed envelopes that included the letters A (experimental group) or B (control group). The pregnant women were assigned to the experimental and control groups depending on the letter in the envelope they chose. Then, the researcher registered the participants in the experimental and control groups on a list. The obstetrician and pregnant women were informed about the procedure, but the obstetrician did not know which procedure would be applied to which pregnant woman. The pregnant women did not know why olive oil was being used. The participating women signed an informed consent form knowing that they could withdraw from the study at any time
