About this trial

The aim of this study is to examine the effects of prenatal yoga practices on labor pain, comfort level during labor, and overall birth satisfaction in primiparous pregnant women in Turkey. This study, which will be conducted using a randomized controlled trial design, aims to measure both the physical contribution of prenatal yoga practice to the birthing process and its effects on psychological well-being and satisfaction, thereby providing evidence-based recommendations to improve the quality of childbirth services.

Treatments tested in this trial

innatal yoga group
Other intervention
Primiparous pregnant women with cervical dilation between 0-5 cm, who were randomly assigned to experimental and control groups, will be administered a Personal Information Form, the Numerical Rating Scale (MRS), the Verbal Category Scale (VCS), and the Birth Comfort Scale (BCS). Following this, only the pregnant women in the experimental group will perform 8 different yoga poses, each pose lasting 5 minutes, as determined by the researchers. Routine care will be provided to the control group. After the yoga session, a vaginal examination will be performed by the same midwife, and all pregnant women will be re-administered the MRS, VCS, and BCS. After labor, both the experimental and control groups will be administered the Birth Satisfaction Scale-Short Form (BSS-S).

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

Yoga practices aim to reduce fear of childbirth, help women develop a positive perception of childbirth, and increase satisfaction with birth.

The DMÖ-K is a 10-item scale using a five-point Likert type. The scale is scored as follows: "Strongly agree" (4 points), "Agree" (3 points), "Undecided" (2 points), "Disagree" (1 point), "Strongly disagree" (0 points). Items 2, 4, 7, and 8 are reverse-calculated. The lowest possible score is "0", and the highest is "40"; higher scores indicate higher satisfaction levels.

Time frame

From the 0-5 cm cervical dilation range to the early postpartum period (4-24 hours)
