What this Trial Is About
Aromatherapy, visual and auditory stimuli are used together in the Snoezelen room. Aromatherapy increases the production of endorphins, reduces the intensity of pain and distracts the attention from the pain. Music also blocks the transmission of nerve impulses to the spinal cord.Considering these effects, the study emerges as a new technology for the midwifery field in our country. Although the use of snoezelen rooms in the delivery environment is becoming increasingly widespread abroad, it has not been used in delivery services in any hospital in our country. The primary purpose of this study is to convert a room in the delivery room of the hospital into a Snoezelen room and have women complete their delivery process in this room, and the secondary purpose is to determine the effect of the Snoezelen room on the delivery process. The primiparous pregnant women selected for the intervention and control groups will be informed about the purpose of the study and the applications by the research midwife or gynecologist following the birth and will be administered the "Pregnant Information Form", "Visual Analog Scale (VAS)", "Fear of Childbirth Scale", "Birth Comfort Scale", and after birth, the "Birth Information Form", "Birth Satisfaction Scale". The Beta Endorphin Level Recording Form will be filled out.
