The research will be conducted to determine the effect of comfort theory-based care and virtual reality glasses on pain and comfort levels in women who have given birth to primiparous babies. The hypotheses of the study are:
H0: Comfort theory-based care and the use of virtual reality glasses have no effect on pain and comfort in the postpartum period.
H1-1: Comfort theory-based care has an effect on pain level in the postpartum period.
H1-2: Comfort theory-based care has an effect on comfort in the postpartum period.
H2-1: The use of virtual reality glasses in the postpartum period has an effect on the level of pain.
H2-2: The use of virtual reality glasses in the postpartum period has an effect on comfort.
Although pregnancy and birth are normal processes, the type of birth affects the comfort level, quality of life, and pain in the natal and postnatal period. In our country, as in many other countries, cesarean delivery rates are quite high.Pain in cesarean births is more severe and lasts longer than in vaginal birth. Along with many methods to reduce pain, the effectiveness of virtual reality applications is also emphasized theoretically or conceptually.In the planned randomized controlled study, the pain level and comfort of individuals will be measured by applying virtual reality glasses to one of the experimental groups and giving Kolcaba's Comfort Theory-based care to the other. Personal Information Form, Postpartum Comfort Scale, Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) and Virtual Reality Glasses Form will be used as measurement tools.This study aims to reduce the pain of the mother in the short term and enable the mother to participate in self-care and baby care in a shorter period of time, and in the long term to minimize maternal and newborn deaths and eliminate deaths under the age of 5.Increasing maternal comfort during the postpartum period is expected to have a direct impact on maintaining maternal health and indirectly on baby care.

| Postpartum Comfort Scale | It is a 5-point Likert type scale consisting of 34 items developed by Katharine Kolcaba (1994). Cronbach's Alpha number of the scale was determined as 0.78. The minimum score from the scale is 34 and the maximum score is 170. As the score increases, comfort increases. | postpartum first day, postpartum second day, postpartum third day |
| Visual Analog Scale | It is used to evaluate pain severity. On the numerical rating scale, pain ranges from 0 (absence of pain) to 10 (unbearable pain) (Huskisson, 1974). | postpartum first day, postpartum second day, postpartum third day |
