Neurolinguistic Programming on Labor Pain

The Effect of Neurolinguistic Programming on Labor Pain, Fear, Duration and Maternal Satisfaction

THE EFFECT OF NEURO LINGUISTIC PROGRAMMING ON LABOUR PAIN, FEAR, DURATION AND MATERNAL SATISFACTION

In this study, it is aimed to determine the effect of neuro linguistic programming on labour pain, fear, duration and maternal satisfaction.

Sample size:

• The sample size of the study is 124 (for primiparous=62, multiparous=62).
• Frist, primiparous women who applied to the hospital for vaginal delivery will be divided into 2 arms as 31 experimental group and 31 control group.
• Second, multiparous women who applied to the hospital for vaginal delivery will be divided into 2 arms as 31 experimental group and 31 control group.

Data Collection Tools;

• Introductory Information Form,
• Visual Analog Scale for Pain,
• Wijma Birth Expectation/Experience Scale B version,
• Birth Satisfaction Scale

Application time:

• The neurolinguistic programming will be applied to the experimental group. NLP application will be done when the cervical opening is 4 cm, when the cervical opening is 5-6 cm, when the cervical opening is 7-8 cm.NLP application will be done three times in total. Each session will last 20 minutes
• No neurolinguistic programming will be applied to the control group.

Measurement time:

• Introductory Information Form will be completed by the woman when the cervical dilatation is 3-4 cm.
• VAS for pain will be measured before and immediately after the application when cervical dilatation is 4 cm; before and immediately after the application when cervical dilatation is 5-6 cm; before and immediately after the application when cervical dilatation is 7-8 cm; when cervical dilatation is 9-10 cm.
• Wijma Birth Expectation/Experience Scale B version and Birth Satisfaction Scale will be completed by the woman in the postnatal ward at approximately the second hour postpartum after the birth has taken place.
• The labour duration will be started for the mother who comes to the delivery room when the cervical opening is 4 cm and the total labour duration will be measured in minutes after the birth occurs.
• The control group will not be administered NLP only, but the measurements will be completed as in the experimental group.

Inclusion Criteria:

• pregnant women who give birth vaginally,
• whose birth takes place in the delivery room unit,
• who are 19 years of age or older and 35 years of age or younger,
• who are born at 37 and above gestational weeks,
• who give singleton birth,
• who do not have chronic diseases and any complications in this pregnancy and postpartum period

Exclusion Criteria:

• mothers who wish to leave the study voluntarily at any stage after being included in the study,
• who develop any health problems in themselves or their babies during the birth and postnatal period will be excluded from the scope.
