Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
The research was carried out in three stages for the experimental groups and control groups. First stage; Informed Voluntary Consent Form and Questionnaire were applied to the pregnant women whose groups were determined by the chosen randomization method. Afterwards, for the experimental groups according to the group; 10-minute training sessions were given on the inhalation method or massage method with aromatic lavender essential oil. In the second stage; Data were recorded by dividing the first phase of labor into 3 phases for each group. Visual Analog Pain Scale and McGill Melzack Pain Questionnaire were applied to the experimental groups 6 times, before and 30 minutes after the application. At this stage, no application was made in the control group, the Visual Analog Pain Scales and McGill Melzack Pain Questionnaire were applied at the beginning of each phase, the same forms were repeated after 30 minutes and the data were recorded 6 times in total. In the third stage; In the postpartum period, the study was completed by applying the Postpartum Period Information Collection Form by face-to-face interviews with the experimental groups and the pregnant women in the control group.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
massage group with lavender essential oil
Pregnant women (n:37) who participated in this group were given an intense massage for at least 10 minutes in each phase during the first phase of labor. Visual Analog Pain Scale and McGill Melzack Pain Questionnaire were applied before and after the application, and the process was completed with a total of 6 measurements.
Aromatherapy application /massage with lavender oil
The application was applied to 37 pregnant women in total, and the effect of massage with lavender oil on labor pain was investigated.
group of inhalations with lavender essential oil
Pregnant women (n:44) who participated in this group were administered inhalation with lavender oil at an intensity of at least 10 minutes in each phase during the first phase of labor. Visual Analog Pain Scale and McGill Melzack Pain Questionnaire were applied before and after the application, and the process was completed with a total of 6 measurements.
Aromatherapy application / inhalation with lavender oil
The application was applied to 41 pregnant women in total, and the effect of inhalation with lavender oil on labor pain was investigated.
control group
No application was made to the pregnant women (n:40) who participated in this group in each phase of the first phase of labor. Despite this, the Visual Analog Pain Scale and McGill Melzack Pain Questionnaire, which were applied at the beginning of each phase in order to increase the reliability of the results, were re-evaluated 30 minutes after the measurements, even though there was no application, and the process was completed with a total of 6 measurements.
