Study summary

Although the female body and fetus are physiologically equipped to carry out the birthing process, the increasing medical interventions in the birthing process today are pushing women into the background during labor. This situation can indirectly affect the duration of labor by causing an increase in women's anxiety and perceived pain levels. In this regard, the application of non-pharmacological methods that support women in effectively managing pain, enabling their active participation in childbirth, shortening the duration of the stages of labor, and having low cost and side effects, stands out as an important care option for women. Today, the use of non-pharmacological methods by midwives who play an active role in childbirth and postpartum care is becoming increasingly common. Among the non-pharmacological approaches are distraction techniques; Practices such as deep breathing exercises, early skin-to-skin contact, listening to relaxing music, watching videos, virtual reality applications, communicating, or cognitive focus shifting contribute to a woman's perception of her birthing experience as more controllable and comfortable .

This research will be conducted to evaluate the effect of music listening and stress ball application on placental separation time, pain during episiotomy repair, and breastfeeding success in primiparous pregnant women.
