简要总结
The study was conducted to determine the effect of consumption of date fruit and nipple stimulation on labor.
The samples were applied to pregnant women satisfying the research criteria in a state hospital in Istanbul between October 2013 and June 2014.
详细描述
The study was designed to be randomly controlled. Block randomization method was used to determine the experimental and control groups. Randomization was done by a biostatistician outside the researcher. 198 pregnant women were randomly assigned to the date fruit, nipple and control groups. From the 37th gestational age to the onset of labor, 6 date fruits were consumed per day by the date fruit group and the nipple stimulation was applied 6 minutes per day for the nipple group. No intervention was made for the control group. For the collection of research data, "Structured Information Form" and "Wijma Birth Expectancy / Experience Scale Version" were used.
