Summary

Vaginal examination contains many negative emotions such as pain, fear, stress, and discomfort for women. When the literature was examined, no study was found in which the focus method was used to reduce or eliminate the feelings that cause negative emotions in women in the vaginal examination experience. For this reason, our research will be a first in the literature and it is thought that it will contribute to the field. In this context, it is assumed that the focusing behavior based on the door control theory will reduce the pain level of primiparous women who will have a vaginal examination for the first time in labor, positively affect the vaginal examination experience and experience a positive birth. In the research; Ho hypothesis: Focus has no effect on the vaginal examination experience of pregnant women.

Hypothesis H1: Focus has an impact on the vaginal examination experience of pregnant women.
