Consequences of Admission to the Delivery Room in the Early and Late Phases

This study will be conducted to compare maternal and neonatal outcomes of pregnant women who applied to the delivery room in the early (latent) and late (active) phase. The population of the research will consist of participants who applied to Darıca Farabi Training and Research Hospital for birth. To determine the sample size of the study, first, those who meet the inclusion criteria and are admitted to the delivery room in the latent phase and those who are accepted in the active phase will be numbered and recruited sequentially. When the number of participants in the 100 latent and 100 active acceptance groups is reached, the effect size will be calculated using the STAI score averages and the G\*Power program, and the exact sample number will be determined, taking into account possible data losses. If necessary, data collection will continue until the target number is reached. Randomization will not be applied in the study. Data will be collected with the maternal and neonatal information form, State and Trait Anxiety Scale (STAI), Fear of Birth Scale, Neonatal Pain and Stress Assessment Scale (ALPS-Neo) and Visual analog scale for birth satisfaction. Data will be collected by the assistant researcher. Statistical analysis will be performed using IBM SPSS Statistic. Descriptive statistical methods will be used to evaluate socio-demographic data, and parametric/nonparametric tests will be used for comparative analyses.
