Brief Summary

The goal of this study was to compare the effects of ice massage and virtual reality animation on labor pain, duration, and satisfaction with delivery.

The main questions aims to answer are:

H1 There are differences between Ice massage group and/or virtual reality animation groups and the control group in women's' labor pain.

H2 There are differences between Ice massage group and/or virtual reality animation groups and the control group in women's' labor duration.

H3 There are differences between Ice massage group and/or virtual reality animation groups and the control group in women's' satisfaction.

This randomized controlled trial (n = 94) includes three arms. Two intervention groups (ice massage (IMG); virtual reality animation (VRA)) and one control group, (CG). Personal information form, and Visual Analog Scale (VAS) and Birth Satisfaction Scale will used to collect data. Frequency and percentage calculations, Mann Whitney U, Kruskal Wallis test, chi-square test, Tukey's honestly significant difference test, and will used for data analysis.
