Brief Summary

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

One of the non-pharmacological methods used to reduce labor pain in multiparous pregnant women is the application of virtual reality glasses. This study aims to measure labor pain and determine the effect of virtual reality glasses application on comfort.

Detailed Description

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

One of the non-pharmacological methods in the management, control and reduction of labor pain is the application of virtual reality glasses. Non-pharmacological methods applied by midwives in obstetrics clinics are preferred because they do not have any side effects to the mother and fetus, their cost is very low and they are easy to apply.

This study was planned to determine the effect of virtual reality glasses application on labor pain and comfort in multiparous pregnant women.

The research was planned at Istanbul Sultanbeyli State Hospital between 15 September 2023 and 31 June 2024. The universe of the research will be the pregnant women who were hospitalized to give birth in this hospital, and the sample will be multiparous pregnant women (60 experimental group, 60 control group) who are in the active phase of labor and comply with the sampling criteria, and a total of 120 pregnant women. Block randomization will be used in sample selection. Those who volunteered to participate in the study will have to sign the Informed Consent Form, and the Pregnant Woman Descriptive Information Form, Visual analog scale-VAS, Comfort Scale-QL and Birth Satisfaction Scale will be filled in by the researchers by face-to-face interview technique. Data collection will take approximately 15-20 minutes.As a result of the study, to reveal the effectiveness of virtual reality glasses application, which is one of the non-pharmacological methods, in reducing labor pain and increasing the birth comfort and satisfaction of mothers, and to contribute to the literature in this field by adding a new one to the limited studies in this field. This study was planned as a randomized controlled experimental study to determine the effect of virtual reality glasses application on labor pain and comfort in multiparous pregnant women.
