Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Participants in the intervention group will receive the Labor Hopscotch exercise program during labor in addition to standard intrapartum care. The control group will receive standard intrapartum care only. The Labor Hopscotch exercise program consists of structured physical movements adapted to the stages of labor and is implemented under the supervision of trained healthcare professionals.
Data will be collected using standardized data collection forms, obstetric records, and validated measurement tools. Information related to sociodemographic characteristics, obstetric history, labor characteristics, and maternal experiences during labor will be recorded. The study is conducted in accordance with ethical principles and relevant institutional guidelines.

Labor Hopscotch Program Group
Participants undergo the Labor Hopscotch Exercise Program during the first stage of labor. This program is a non-pharmacological, behavioral intervention that encourages active movement. The exercises aim to shorten labor duration, reduce pain, and increase birth satisfaction. The program is performed under the supervision of trained healthcare professionals and provides ongoing intrapartum support.
Labor Hopscotch Exercise Program Group
Throughout labor, active positions, movements, breathing exercises, and recordings are utilized, along with the hopscotch steps.
Guided by a trained midwife/healthcare professional.
Applied throughout the latent and active phases.
Purpose: To reduce pain, facilitate labor progression, and minimize interventions.
Standard Intrapartum Care
