Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

lower back massage

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

Lower back massage performance: In the study, Linda Kimber's massage protocol was used. First, the researcher ensured that the patient was holding the bed, squatting, or bent over on the bed, which is suitable for the massage, between two contractions. The pregnant woman was instructed to breathe deeply and exhale audibly when her contractions began. Gloves were worn during the massage and liquid Vaseline, which does not contain any active substance, was used to provide lubricity. The circular hip massage was applied at the beginning of the contraction, and lower lateral area and sacral pressure massage was applied towards the end of the contraction as per the massage protocol, and simultaneously with the inhaling sound of the pregnant woman
