The Effect of Trauma Informed Care in Childbirth

Participants were provided care in different rooms, blinded to the differences in practice used between the two groups. In the same clinic, a room was designed as a positive delivery room by the researchers and a relaxing environment was created. In this room, supportive care based on trauma informed care was provided to the experimental group during birth.

Participants in the control group, on the other hand, received the routine care given in the hospital by other midwives in the clinic, and there was a change of caregiver midwife during shift changes. The care provided in the hospital during delivery is mostly focused on low level of physical comfort and high level of follow-up.
