Brief Summary

Nurses and midwives stand at the forefront during childbirth; their expertise in using natural pain relief techniques not only lessens the sensation of labor pain but also helps in calming the nerves of expectant mothers. These techniques are not only safe and easy to use but also kind on the pocket and devoid of any adverse effects. Such methods can make childbirth experiences as positive and comfortable as possible. Research has delved deeper into how music shaped by cultural tastes can significantly affect individuals, leading to a closer examination of how Turkish tunes influence discomfort and nervousness during labor. The goal of this research was to explore how Turkish melodies impact pain and anxiety feelings among women going through childbirth for the first time.
