- In order to avoid bias in assessing pain and fear, three midwives who were not involved in the study team, who worked in the hospital where the study was carried out and who did not know the groups of the participants administered the scales. The midwives who were involved in data collection during the study were trained by the researchers on the use of data collection tools.
