Condition(s) studied

Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)

snoezelen room: During the travail, projectors, starry ceiling visuals and blue light LEDs will be used for visual stimuli, speakers will be used as auditory stimuli, diffusers will be used for olfactory stimuli, and therapy dough will be used for touch stimuli.

routine delivery room: General practice

Study summary

Giving birth is a fundamental life event that women will remember throughout their lives. While seeking perfection for the birth environment, much can be learned from other areas of expertise and different pursuits can be undertaken. An example of this is "Snoezelen rooms". In the Snoezelen environment, it is aimed to relax the woman by stimulating various senses, including visual and auditory, and by diverting attention. The room design is a combination of light music, aquarium, optical illusions and aromatic oils. This study will be conducted in a randomized controlled manner to examine the effects of a multi-sensory (snoezelen) environment on birth outcomes, newborn health parameters and birth memory.

Eligibility

Primary outcome measure(s)

• Personal information form — on admission to the hospital
  With this form, developed by the researcher taking into account literature knowledge, data on women\'s demographic information such as age, education level, and obstetric characteristics such as whether the pregnancy is planned and the current gestational week will be obtained (Hauck et al., 2008; Manesh et al. 2015).
• birth follow-up form — at the beginning of the third stage of childbirth
  With the follow-up form prepared to evaluate the birth process using the literature, the duration of the stages during labor and the synthetic oxytocin status used will be evaluated. While these practices are evaluated, the researcher will be present in the environment only as an observer, and the practices determined as a result of the observation will be noted on the Birth Monitoring Form (Olcese et al., 2013 Momeni et al., 2020).
• Birth Memory and Recall Scale — 24 hours after birth
  In order to evaluate women\'s postpartum birth memories, their birth memories, and their experiences regarding birth memories, DHHÖ conducted a study by Foley et al. (2014). It was adapted into Turkish by Topkara \& Çağan (2021).
