Group Intervention Description Experimental: Birth Ball Birth Ball In the second stage, the birth ball application was made and followed. Pregnant women with a vaginal opening of 4 cm admitted to the delivery room were instructed to sit on the delivery ball for a total of 30 minutes. A stopwatch clock was used to determine these 30 minutes. The pregnant woman was not asked to sit on the ball all the time, and she could take a break for rest or other needs. The birth ball, which is suitable for women's use, was preferred in 45 cm dimensions, and the pilates circle was used as a stabilizer. Under the supervision of the researcher, the pregnant women sat upright on the ball and began to rock back and forth. Meanwhile, the researcher held the pregnant woman's hand. In order for the pregnant woman not to lose her balance, the birth ball was placed on a pilates circle and she was supported by the researcher in making the movements.
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Introductory Information Form pre-intervention The form consisting of 13 questions was prepared by the researcher in order to describe the sociodemographic characteristics and current health status of women.
Birth Process Follow-up Form during the intervention It was created by the researcher in order to obtain information about the progress of birth and the characteristics of the fetus during the birth process of the pregnant. In the form, there are questions including the hour and subsequent follow-up hours when the vaginal opening is 4 cm, dilatation, fetal heartbeat, whether there is oxytocin administration, the duration and frequency of contractions, and the characteristics of the amniotic fluid.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Visual Analog Scale (VAS) during the intervention It is a measurement usually used to evaluate pain from 0 (no pain) to 10 (unbearable pain). A 10 cm vertical form was used in the study. Pain level was evaluated with VAS during each follow-up of the pregnant woman.
Birth Satisfaction Scale-Short Form (DME-F) in the first hour in postpartum period The short form of the scale was revised by Martin et al. in 2016 to evaluate the birth satisfaction levels of women (Martin et al., 2016). The Turkish validity and reliability study was conducted by Serhatlıoğlu et al. in 2018 (Göncü Serhatlıoğlu et al., 2018). The scale consists of 10 items and a minimum of 0 and a maximum of 40 points can be obtained. The items of the scale are in a 5-point Likert type and are scored as Strongly agree (4 points)-Strongly Disagree (0 points).
