Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The primiparous women wore virtual glasses during labor, playing games and exercising. pregnant women were divided into two groups. Experimental and control groups each consisted of 60 pregnant women.

Detailed Description

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

Aim: The research was carried out to determine the effect of virtual reality application in labor on perceived labor pain and satisfaction levels in primiparous.

Material and Method: The study was conducted in a randomized controlled manner with a total of 120 primiparous women who applied to the delivery room of Elazig Fethi Sekin City Hospital between June 2020 and June 2021 (60 Experiments, 60 Controls). The pregnant women in the experimental group were played by the researcher during the active and transitional phases of labor with virtual reality glasses, which were designed for research and included methods used to cope with labor pain. Except for routine care, no application was made to the pregnant women in the control group. In order to determine the pain level of the pregnant women, SDS and SCS were applied four times, before and after the Virtual Reality applications. After delivery, DME-C was applied to both groups.
