Abstract

The current study was aimed to evaluate the effects of interventions conducted in line with the coping with labor pain algorithm (holistic birth support strategies) on women’s coping with labor pain, birth satisfaction, and fear of childbirth. The study is a single-center, parallel-group randomized, three-blind, controlled trial. The study was completed with 33 women in the experimental group and 31 in the control group. The mean score of the women in the experimental group from the Birth Satisfaction Scale (128.57 ± 5.83) was statistically significantly higher than that of the women in the control group (81.80 ± 7.73). The mean score of the women in the experimental group (61.96 ± 9.78) from the Wijma Birth Expectation/Experience Scale, Version B scale was statistically significantly lower than that of the women in the control group (148.64 ± 14.62). It was found that the women in the experimental group were able to better cope with labor pain, had higher birth satisfaction, and had less fear of childbirth.
