Summary

In our country, although there is currently an emphasis on companion support within the scope of mother-friendly hospitals, there is no guide for companions. This study was planned to determine the effect of women who have companion support during labor on birth satisfaction, birth comfort, postpartum comfort level and positive birth outcomes, as well as the opinions of the people who provide support. Based on the results obtained and the positive contributions to maternal satisfaction during the labor process, birth and postpartum comfort process, mother-baby health, as well as the opinions of the companions, a 'Pregnant Support Guide in Labor' will be created and the companions will be enabled to support the pregnant woman in line with this guide. In addition, based on the opinions of the attendants, the researchers plan to develop the 'Birth Support Satisfaction Scale'.

Interventions

emotional and physical support to the pregnant woman provided by attendant

The companion will provide emotional and physical support to the pregnant woman (such as massage, supporting the pregnant woman while moving, taking a warm shower, etc.), and all interventions made by the companion and their duration will be recorded by the researcher in the 'Birth Process Support Form'. When the cervical dilatation is 8 cm, the Birth Comfort Scale will be applied to the pregnant woman, and two hours after the birth, the Birth Satisfaction Scale and the Postpartum Comfort Scale will be applied. Information about the birth process will be recorded in the Birth Information Form. In addition, semi-structured questions in the 'Companion Interview Form' will be asked to the companions selected for qualitative interviews and voice recording will be recorded.
