Summary

The aim of this study is to reduce the fears of women who will give birth and increase their comfort. In the literature review conducted for this purpose, no study has yet been found that examines the effect of creating a birth story in the labor room on the fear of birth and birth comfort in primiparous pregnant women. In order to fill this gap in the literature, pregnant women in the labor room will be asked to create their birth stories and the effect of this on fear of birth and birth comfort will be examined.

The hypotheses of the study are as follows:

H1a: Creating a birth story in the labor room affects fear of birth H1b: Creating a birth story in the labor room affects birth comfort.

The birth story is created by the pregnant women in the labor room writing their feelings on a transparent wallpaper attached to the wall. The pregnant woman, the midwife, the father and the doctor can also write their feelings and thoughts on this wallpaper. In this way, the pregnant woman looks at the wall on which positive thoughts are written throughout the labor and thus the fear of birth is reduced.
