sacral massagepilates ball

sacral massage: During labor, pregnant women will be given effleurage (stroking) and vibration (vibration) techniques to the sacral region in a comfortable position during contractions, once an hour for a maximum of 10 minutes.

pilates ball: During labor, pregnant women will be given pelvic oscillation movements (a full rotation of the hips, going right/left, coming forward and backward, lightly bouncing on a ball while holding onto the headboard) once an hour during the active phase of labor.

Study summary

As researchers, we believe that Pilates ball and manual sacral massage applications can be easily and cost-free applied in maternity clinics in our country. For all these reasons, this study was planned as a randomized controlled study to evaluate the effects of Pilates ball and sacral massage applications in labor on labor pain, labor duration, and labor satisfaction.

The research will be carried out between December 1, 2024 and May 1, 2025 in two public hospitals affiliated with the Gaziantep Provincial Health Directorate. The sample of the research will consist of 35 pregnant women in the Pilates ball group, 35 in the sacral massage group and 35 in the control group, totaling 105 pregnant women who meet the criteria for inclusion in the research. Applications to the intervention groups will be made during the active phase of labor. Personal Information Form, Labor Monitoring Form, Application Monitoring Form to record the number and duration of applications, Visual Analog Scale to assess labor pain, Partograph to assess labor duration and Labor Satisfaction Scale to assess maternal satisfaction will be used in data collection. Data will be analyzed with tests appropriate to normal distribution characteristics in the SPSS 24 package program. At the end of the research, the effects of Pilates ball and sacral massage applications in labor on labor pain, labor duration and labor satisfaction will be evaluated.
