Neurolinguistic Programming on Labor Pain

The Effect of Neurolinguistic Programming on Labor Pain, Fear, Duration and Maternal Satisfaction

THE EFFECT OF NEURO LINGUISTIC PROGRAMMING ON LABOUR PAIN, FEAR, DURATION AND MATERNAL SATISFACTION

Study Overview

• Status: Recruiting
• Conditions: Labor Pain; Neurolinguistic Programming
• Intervention / Treatment: Other: neuro linguistic programming

Detailed Description

In this study, it is aimed to determine the effect of neuro linguistic programming on labour pain, fear, duration and maternal satisfaction.

Sample size:

• The sample size of the study is 124 (for primiparous=62, multiparous=62).
• Frist, primiparous women who applied to the hospital for vaginal delivery will be divided into 2 arms as 31 experimental group and 31 control group.
• Second, multiparous women who applied to the hospital for vaginal delivery will be divided into 2 arms as 31 experimental group and 31 control group.

Data Collection Tools;

• Introductory Information Form,
• Visual Analog Scale for Pain,
• Wijma Birth Expectation/Experience Scale B version,
• Birth Satisfaction Scale

Application time:

• The neurolinguistic programming will be applied to the experimental group. NLP application will be done when the cervical opening is 4 cm, when the cervical opening is 5-6 cm, when the cervical opening is 7-8 cm.NLP application will be done three times in total. Each session will last 20 minutes
• No neurolinguistic programming will be applied to the control group.

Measurement time:

• Introductory Information Form will be completed by the woman when the cervical dilatation is 3-4 cm.
• VAS for pain will be measured before and immediately after the application when cervical dilatation is 4 cm; before and immediately after the application when cervical dilatation is 5-6 cm; before and immediately after the application when cervical dilatation is 7-8 cm; when cervical dilatation is 9-10 cm.
• Wijma Birth Expectation/Experience Scale B version and Birth Satisfaction Scale will be completed by the woman in the postnatal ward at approximately the second hour postpartum after the birth has taken place.
• The labour duration will be started for the mother who comes to the delivery room when the cervical opening is 4 cm and the total labour duration will be measured in minutes after the birth occurs.
• The control group will not be administered NLP only, but the measurements will be completed as in the experimental group.

• Study Type: Interventional
• Enrollment (Estimated): 124
• Phase: Not Applicable

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm	Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: neuro linguistic programming group for primiparous; NLP application to the experimental group will be done by the researcher Ayşegül Kılıçlı. The application session will 20 minutes. The application will be started in the active phase of labour when the cervical opening is 4 cm. In the neuro linguistic programming (NLP); The system of representation of women in practice will be determined first. Then, with the anchoring technique, negative feelings and thoughts about labour will be tried to be erased from the mind or their severity will be reduced. Then, positive feelings and thoughts will be created instead of the mother's negative feelings and thoughts with belief change strategies. Then, with the swish technique, the mother's positive feelings and thoughts about labour will be made aware of and reinforced.	Other: neuro linguistic programming; neuro linguistic programming
No Intervention: control group for primiparous; The control group will not receive only the neuro-linguistic programming, but all other assessments will be parallel to the experimental group (neuro linguistic programming group for primiparous).
Experimental: neuro linguistic programmig group for multiparous; NLP application to the experimental group will be done by the researcher Ayşegül Kılıçlı. The application session will 20 minutes. The application will be started in the active phase of labour when the cervical opening is 4 cm. In the neuro linguistic programming (NLP); The system of representation of women in practice will be determined first. Then, with the anchoring technique, negative feelings and thoughts about labour will be tried to be erased from the mind or their severity will be reduced.

Then, with the swish technique, the mother's positive feelings and thoughts about labour will be made aware of and reinforced.	Other: neuro linguistic programming; neuro linguistic programming
No Intervention: control group for multiparous; The control group will not receive only the neuro-linguistic programming, but all other assessments will be parallel to the experimental group (neuro linguistic programming group for muliparous).

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Wijma Birth Anticipation/Experience Scale B version;	Wijma Birth Anticipation/Experience Scale B version; The minimum score from the scale is 0 and the maximum score is 165 points. If the total score obtained from the scale is below 66, it is considered mild, between 66 and 85, it is considered moderate, and above 85, it is considered severe fear of childbirth.	between approximately the second to sixth hours postpartum
Birth Satisfaction Scale;	Birth Satisfaction Scale; The score that can be obtained from the scale is between 30-150 points. The change in the score obtained from the scale from birth increases.	between approximately the second to sixth hours postpartum
Visual Analogue Scale for Pain	Visual Analogue Scale for Pain; Scores between 0-10 are received. The difference in score indicates that the pain is aching.	immediately before neuro linguistic programming application when the cervical opening was 4 cm, 5-6 cm, 7-8 cm
Visual Analogue Scale for Pain	Visual Analogue Scale for Pain; Scores between 0-10 are received. The difference in score indicates that the pain is aching.	immediately after neurolinguistic programming application when the cervical opening was 4 cm, 5-6 cm, 7-8 cm
Labour duration	Labour duration; time will be measured in minutes	the duration of labour will be calculated in minutes from the time the cervical opening begins until the fourth stage of labour
Visual Analogue Scale for Pain	Visual Analogue Scale for Pain; Scores between 0-10 are received. The difference in score indicates that the pain is aching.	when the cervical opening was 9-10 cm
