The application procedure started with the application of hot gel packets at a temperature of 40-42°C to the soles of the feet of the women in the intervention group for 20 minutes when cervical dilation reaches 5 cm.The first Visual Analog Scale (VAS) evaluation was conducted after the application. Conduction is followed by more evaluations at the 25th (5 minutes after the application), 35th (15 minutes after the application), and 50th minute (30 minutes after the application). These applications were repeated every hour until cervical dilation reached 10 cm. The applicatilon procedure has been stopped after cervical dilation reached 10 cm.

The control group received routine service and VAS at the same times.

VAS provides rapid measurement of pain intensity in clinical and laboratory conditions. In VAS, the patient is asked to make a mark on a 10 cm horizontal line showing the current situation. In this study, for pain; Markings are made on a 10 cm horizontal line, one end of which indicates the patient's pain is very good (0 = no pain) and the other end is very bad (10 = most severe).

The partograph form is based on recording the developments observed during labor by specifying the time, and recording begins when the woman enters the active phase (cervical dilatation of 5-6 cm). This form not only shows the progress of the action, but also determines the deviation of the process from normal. In the partograph; There are three parameters that show the progress of birth, the health status of the baby and the health status of the mother. To determine the progress of labor; Cervical dilation, level of the baby's head, frequency and duration of uterine contractions in 10 minutes are monitored and recorded. To evaluate the baby's health status; The fetal heart rate (every 30 minutes), the presence of the amniotic membrane at each vaginal examination, the color of the fluid and the descent of the fetal head are evaluated and recorded.
