结局指标
主要结局
Visual Analogue Scale
时间窗: Baseline
It is used to assess pain intensity. The scale is graded from 0 to 10 cm in length, where 0 represents no pain and 10 represents the most severe pain. It is applied by having the individual mark a point corresponding to the intensity of the pain they feel. The distance between the marked point and the lowest end of the line is measured in centimeters, and the resulting numerical value indicates the patient's pain intensity.
State Anxiety Inventory
时间窗: Baseline
The inventory consists of four-degree evaluations ranging from "Not at all" to "Completely" in the Likert type. There are 20 items in the inventory, and the individual is required to define how he/she feels at a certain moment and under certain conditions, and to respond by taking into account his/her feelings about the situation he/she is in. High scores indicate high anxiety levels, and low scores indicate low anxiety levels.
Childbirth Attitudes Questionnaire
时间窗: Baseline
This scale four-point Likert-type questionnaire consists of 16 items and high scores indicate greater anxiety. Scale scores are calculated by taking the average of the 16 items. The items on the scale are scored as follows: "1 = No anxiety ", "2 = Low anxiety ", "3 = Moderate anxiety " and "4 = High anxiety ". Each item on the scale is scored between 1 and 4.
