Brief Summary

This study aimed to assess the efficacy of breathing exercises (BE) during the second stage of labor for maternal pain, duration of labor and first-minute APGAR score. This is a randomized controlled trial that compares nulliparous pregnant in the second stage of labor instructed regarding BE with a control group (CG) that received standard care service. It was conducted at Nenehatun Obstetric and Gynecology Hospital between May-June 2016, in Erzurum. One session of BE training were given to pregnant in intervention group (IG). Visual Analog Scale (VAS) was performed to identify perception of pain to all pregnant during the second stage of birth. Time of the second stage was recorded as second (sec), and first minute APGAR scores were recorded. Significance was set at p\<0.05.
