Summary

This study was carried out to determine the effect of controlled massage applied at birth on labor pain and duration and maternal satisfaction. The study was conducted as a randomized, controlled research. The research was conducted with 154 randomized pregnant women admitted to Erzurum Nenehatun Obstetrics and Maternity hospital between February-November 2019. The study consisted of 3 different groups: Group A included the pregnant women who received routine hospital care (control group n=53), Group B included the pregnant women who received midwife-controlled massage (n=50), and the Group C consisted of the pregnant women who received self-controlled massage (n=51). It was determined that the controlled massage intervention that was applied in this study reduced labor pain, but it did not affect the duration of labor or the satisfaction levels of the women.

Interventions

OTHER

controlled (automatic) massage

Massage methods that are performed with mechanical methods are called automated massage. Automated massage is also individual-controlled massage. This is because in automated massage, to relax, solve or reduce their pain, the individual applies the massage under their own control or under the control of someone else through a controller in a way where the duration and intensity of the massage in the body part of application vary. Individual-controlled massage devices may be in the form of chairs, cushions, beds and mattresses. These massage devices have functions such as vibrating, applying vacuum, imitating manual massage motions and applying heat.
