Sponsor's own description
This study was carried out to determine the effect of controlled massage applied at birth on labor pain and duration and maternal satisfaction. The study was conducted as a randomized, controlled research. The research was conducted with 154 randomized pregnant women admitted to Erzurum Nenehatun Obstetrics and Maternity hospital between February-November 2019. The study consisted of 3 different groups: Group A included the pregnant women who received routine hospital care (control group n=53), Group B included the pregnant women who received midwife-controlled massage (n=50), and the Group C consisted of the pregnant women who received self-controlled massage (n=51). It was determined that the controlled massage intervention that was applied in this study reduced labor pain, but it did not affect the duration of labor or the satisfaction levels of the women.
