This clinical trial aims to evaluate the effects of a cord clamping bundle developed through the Delphi method on maternal and neonatal outcomes. The study population consists of primiparous women with singleton term pregnancies (37-42 weeks of gestation) who undergo vaginal delivery, along with their healthy newborns.

The primary research questions are:

Does the Delphi-based cord clamping bundle improve maternal and neonatal physiological outcomes? Does the Delphi-based cord clamping bundle enhance mother-infant bonding and breastfeeding success?

Comparison Group:

Researchers will compare the intervention group, in which the cord clamping bundle is implemented, with the control group receiving routine clinical care to determine the effects of the intervention on maternal and neonatal outcomes.

Participant Involvement:

Participants will provide written and verbal informed consent and complete a personal information form. Following delivery, participants will receive either the cord clamping bundle intervention or routine care according to their assigned group. Data collection will be conducted within the first 24 hours postpartum and will include:

Maternal and neonatal physiological parameters Breastfeeding success assessed using the LATCH Breastfeeding Assessment Tool Mother-infant bonding assessed using the Mother-to-Infant Bonding Scale Amount of postpartum bleeding Placental separation time Time to initiation of breastfeeding Length of hospital stay after delivery.

This study aims to evaluate the effects of a cord clamping bundle developed using the Delphi technique on maternal and neonatal outcomes following term vaginal birth. The bundle was developed based on expert consensus to standardize cord clamping practices during the immediate postpartum period.

The study will be conducted among primiparous women with singleton term pregnancies who undergo vaginal delivery and their healthy newborns. Participants will be assigned to either an intervention group receiving the cord clamping bundle or a control group receiving routine cord clamping care according to hospital practice.

Maternal and neonatal physiological outcomes, breastfeeding success, mother-infant bonding, postpartum bleeding, placental separation time, time to initiation of breastfeeding, and length of hospital stay will be evaluated within the first 24 hours after birth. Breastfeeding success will be assessed using the LATCH Breastfeeding Assessment Tool, and mother-infant bonding will be assessed using the Mother-to-Infant Bonding Scale. The findings are expected to contribute to evidence-based cord clamping practices and improve maternal and neonatal care outcomes.BizChat hakkında geri bildirim gönderin
