Brief Summary

Nonpharmacologic pain control methods, which are increasingly becoming widespread in coping with the labour pain, are the methods that allow women to completely relax without using any medication and direct them to perceive the pain at the lowest level. This study was conducted to determine the effect of sacral massage, on labour pain and anxiety. This study was conducted as a randomized controlled experimental study at Bağcılar Training and Research Hospital, Obstetrics and Gynecology Clinic between March and October 2016. Hypotheses of the Study

1. 1.Massage applied to the sacral region decreases the perception of a woman's labour pain.
2. 2.Massage applied to the sacral region decreases the woman's levels of concern and anxiety about labour.
3. 3.Massage applied to the sacral region increases the woman's satisfaction with the labour

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• The state-trait anxiety inventory (STAI FORM TX-I) evaluated

  The state-trait anxiety inventory (STAI FORM TX-I) was applied and evaluated after the massage in the active (5-7 cm) phase.To determine state and trait anxiety levels of the participants, the state-trait anxiety inventory (STAI FORM TX -I) was used. The individual is required to indicate the feelings or behaviours that he/she has experienced in a specific situation according to the degree of severity by marking one of the options such as (1) Never, (2) Little, (3) Very and (4) Completely.the STAI FORM TX-I was used in the active (5-7 cm) phase in the control group and in the active (5-7 cm) phase after the massage in the experimental group to evaluate the anxiety experienced by women during labour.

EXPERIMENTAL

The massage was applied only to the pregnant women in the intervention group at every phase of labour. There was no intervention in the control group except for routine hospital applications. The steps taken in this study are discussed below. For the pregnant women included in the experimental group: In addition to providing them with routine nursing/midwifery care, the women in the experimental group were administered a massage to the sacral region under the supervision of a doctor for 30 minutes using the effleurage (patting) ( 15 minutes) and vibration technique ( 15 minutes) in the latent (3-4 cm), active (5-7 cm) and transition (8-10 cm) phases of labour. To achieve this, the patients were placed in the left lateral position in the latent (3-4 cm), active (5-7 cm) and transition (8-10 cm) phases of labour.

Other: Sacral Massage

Control Group

NO INTERVENTION

There was no intervention in the control group except for routine hospital applications. The steps taken in this study are discussed below. One-on-one interviews were conducted with the pregnant women, and the voluntary disclosure forms, which explained the purpose of the study, were completed. The prepared questionnaire form was applied. Routine nursing/midwifery care was applied. The state-trait anxiety inventory (STAI FORM TX-I) was applied and evaluated in the active (5-7 cm) phase. The Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) was evaluated once in the latent (3-4 cm), active (5-7 cm) and transition (8-10 cm) phases. Birth action follow-up form and postpartum interview forms were applied
