Sponsor's own description
Aim: The study was conducted to investigate the effect of birth ball and birth dance practices applied in the first stage of labour on pain, mode of delivery, maternal satisfaction and duration of labour. Material and Method: This study was conducted as a randomised controlled clinical trial between July 2023 and December 2024. The population of the study consisted of pregnant women who applied to Amasya University Sabuncuoğlu Şerefeddin Training and Research Hospital Delivery Department between January 2024 and August 2024. The sample group consisted of a total of 104 primiparous pregnant women, 35 A (round ball group), 33 B (birth dance group) and 36 C (control group), who met the inclusion criteria and were determined by power analysis. Data were collected by using 'Descriptive Information Form', 'Verbal Category Scale', 'Visual Analogue Scale', 'Partograph' and 'Maternal Satisfaction in Childbirth Assessment Scale'. Results: In active phase of labour, birth ball and birth dance practice caused a significant decrease in pain perceptions of pregnant women (p\<0.05). It was determined that level of cervical dilatation progressed faster in pregnant women who were administered a round birth ball during labour compared to the other groups. It was also determined that application of birth ball and birth dance in labour accelerated level of fetal head descent in the active phase of labour, shortened duration of the active phase, affected the duration and number of contractions and did not affect labour satisfaction according to the cut-off score of the Maternal Satisfaction in Childbirth Assessment Scale. Conclusion: The application of birth ball and birth dance in the active phase of labour was found to reduce labour pain, accelerate the level of fetal head descent, shorten duration of the active phase, and affect duration and number of contractions.
