Summary

Objective: To determine the effect that focusing attention on the plant, Maryam's Flower, has on pregnant women's perception of pain, level of comfort and labor satisfaction during the first phase of labor.

Method: This randomized controlled experimental study was conducted with an intervention group (n=61) and control group (n=63) involving primipara pregnant women who were at 1 cm cervical dilatation. The pregnant women in the intervention group were asked to focus their attention on Maryam's flower opening its leaf buds and imagine the labor's progress during the course of their labor. The control group only received standard midwifery care. Each group was administered the VAS at specific times (at 4-5 cm, 6-7 cm, and 8-9 cm cervical dilatation) to determine their level of labor pain. The Childbirth Comfort Questionnaire (CCQ) was also administered when the women were at 4-5 cm and 8-9 cm cervical dilatation to determine their level of birth comfort. The duration of labor was monitored using a partograph form. Finally, the Birth Satisfaction Scale was applied to determine the women's satisfaction with the labor in the 2nd hour of the postpartum period.
