Brief Summary

This study was conducted to determine the effect of sitting position on the labor process. The randomized controlled experimental study was conducted in the delivery room of Sivas Numune Hospital.

Conditions

Healthy; Bleeding; Pain

Keywords

Bleeding; pregnant; labor duration; pain; Sitting Position

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Visual analog scale is applied starting from the 1st stage of labor and until the end of the 2nd stage.If the VAS value is 10, it means there is a lot of pain, and if it is 0, it means there is no pain.

  The effect of sitting positions of pregnant women in the 38-42nd weeks of pregnancy on the birth process

  1 years

Study Arms (4)

Arm 1:Vertical Position (Experimental Group-Primiparous)

EXPERIMENTAL

All pregnant women in the experimental group were allowed to use a sitting position (sitting and rocking on a pilates ball or sitting on a bed) from the active phase until labor. They were allowed to lie down for 10-15 minutes when they were tired or when monitoring or intervention was needed.

Behavioral: Sitting position is used in Experimental Arms 1-2

Arm 2: Vertical Position (Experimental Group-Multiparous)

EXPERIMENTAL

All pregnant women in the experimental group were allowed to use a sitting position (sitting and rocking on a pilates ball or sitting on a bed) from the active phase until labor. They were allowed to lie down for 10-15 minutes when they were tired or when monitoring or intervention was needed.

Behavioral: Sitting position is used in Experimental Arms 1-2

Arm 3: Lithotomy Position (Control Group-Primiparous)

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

All pregnant women in the control group were followed up with hospital procedures during labor. From the latent phase until labor, the pregnant woman was followed up with hospital procedures. At the end of the latent and active phases, pain assessment was requested and VAS (Appendix 6) was applied. The 2nd and 3rd stages of labor were performed on a normal delivery table in the lithotomy position.

Behavioral: Sitting position is used in Experimental Arms 1-2

Arm 4: Lithotomy Position (Control Group-multiparous)

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

The hospital procedure was applied to determine the birth rates of all pregnant women in the control group. From the latent stage until the birth, the pregnant woman is followed up by applying the hospital procedure. At the end of the latent and active phases, the alarm results were requested to be evaluated and VAS (Appendix 6) was developed. The 2nd and 3rd stages of labor were performed in the lithotomy positions on the normal delivery table.

Behavioral: Sitting position is used in Experimental Arms 1-2

Interventions

Sitting position is used in Experimental Arms 1-2 BEHAVIORAL

sitting position Comparison of sitting position and lithotomy position in labor

Also known as: Lithotomy position is used in those with Active Comparison Arm 3-4.

Arm 1:Vertical Position (Experimental Group-Primiparous); Arm 2: Vertical Position (Experimental Group-Multiparous); Arm 3: Lithotomy Position (Control Group-Primiparous); Arm 4: Lithotomy Position (Control Group-multiparous)
