Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Arm 1:Vertical Position (Experimental Group-Primiparous)

All pregnant women in the experimental group were allowed to use a sitting position (sitting and rocking on a pilates ball or sitting on a bed) from the active phase until labor. They were allowed to lie down for 10-15 minutes when they were tired or when monitoring or intervention was needed.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Sitting position is used in Experimental Arms 1-2

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

sitting position Comparison of sitting position and lithotomy position in labor

Arm 2: Vertical Position (Experimental Group-Multiparous)

All pregnant women in the experimental group were allowed to use a sitting position (sitting and rocking on a pilates ball or sitting on a bed) from the active phase until labor. They were allowed to lie down for 10-15 minutes when they were tired or when monitoring or intervention was needed.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Sitting position is used in Experimental Arms 1-2

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

sitting position Comparison of sitting position and lithotomy position in labor

Arm 3: Lithotomy Position (Control Group-Primiparous)

All pregnant women in the control group were followed up with hospital procedures during labor. From the latent phase until labor, the pregnant woman was followed up with hospital procedures. At the end of the latent and active phases, pain assessment was requested and VAS (Appendix 6) was applied. The 2nd and 3rd stages of labor were performed on a normal delivery table in the lithotomy position.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Sitting position is used in Experimental Arms 1-2

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

sitting position Comparison of sitting position and lithotomy position in labor

Arm 4: Lithotomy Position (Control Group-multiparous)

The hospital procedure was applied to determine the birth rates of all pregnant women in the control group. From the latent stage until the birth, the pregnant woman is followed up by applying the hospital procedure. At the end of the latent and active phases, the alarm results were requested to be evaluated and VAS (Appendix 6) was developed. The 2nd and 3rd stages of labor were performed in the lithotomy positions on the normal delivery table.
