Brief Summary

Having a patient with pain watch a video can be used to "direct attention to a different direction", which is a part of nursing care in pain management (İnal and Canbulat, 2015). There are studies using different non-invasive methods to reduce pain during labor (Ebrahimian and Bilandi, 2021; Kazeminia et al., 2020). However, no randomized controlled study has been found in which comedy videos were watched for labor pain management and birth satisfaction. For this reason, it is planned to investigate the effect of comedy video on pain and birth satisfaction in this study.

Conditions

Labor Pain

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Visual Analog Scale

  Visual Analog Scale for labor pain

  in the labor's 4-6, 6-8,8-10 cm cervical opening

Secondary Outcomes (1)

• Birth satisfaction scale

  In the 4th stage of labor

Study Arms (2)

Control group

NO INTERVENTION

When the patients are admitted, their written consent will be obtained and personal information forms and the Visual Comparison Scale (VAS) pain scale will be applied to all participants. VAS pain scale will be applied to both groups during the active phase of labor with 6-8 cm dilatation and 8-10 cm dilatation phases. At the end of the labor, the "Birth Satisfaction Scale Short Form" will be applied to both groups.

Intervention group

EXPERIMENTAL

When the patients are admitted, their written consent will be obtained and personal information forms and the Visual Comparison Scale (VAS) pain scale will be applied to all participants. Women in the experimental group will watch a 15-20 minute video with comedy content during the active phase of the action (4-6 cm dilation), and no intervention will be made to women in the control group. VAS pain scale will be applied to both groups during the active phase of labor with 6-8 cm dilatation and 8-10 cm dilatation phases. At the end of the labor, the "Birth Satisfaction Scale Short Form" will be applied to both groups.

Other: Distraction technique with comedy video

Interventions
