Effect of Hypnobirthing Training on Fear, Pain, Satisfaction and, Birth Outcomes

Summary

Background and Purpose: Hypnobirthing is childbirth education model. This model aims for women to have a painless, calm and more comfortable birth. In this study is aimed to determine the effect of Hypnobirthing training on fear of childbirth, birth pain, birth satisfaction and birth outcomes.

Materials and Methods: This randomized controlled experimental study was performed in Maternity Hospital (Bursa, Turkey) . The minimum required sample size to be included in the study will calculated with G\* power. The simple randomization method was use in the assignment of healthy and nulliparous pregnant women at 28-32 weeks of gestation to the groups. The assignment of the participants to the experimental group or control group was carried out with a computer-aided program. The nulliparous women was divided into two groups as the control group contained women who received the hospital's usual care, and the experimental group contained women who received the hypnobirthing training intervention. The fear of birth was measured with the Wijma Birth Expectancy/Experience Scale A and B (W-DEQ); labor pain was measured with Visual Analogue Scale (VAS); birth satisfaction was measured with Short Form of Birth Satisfaction Scale (BSS-R); birth outcomes will measure with postpartum Information form. The Statistical Package for the Social Sciences program (version 25.00) was use in data analysis.

In addition, the usual care will be provided by healthcare professionals to this group. Breathing, relaxation exercises, birth stories and birth videos will be used to reduce fears of chlildbirt women. Deepening and endorphin massage techniques will be given for labor pain. After the endorphin massage technique will be applied individually by the researcher, it will be applied by the couples and they will ask for repeating all exercises at home.
