The Effect of Foot Bath on Birth Pain and Birth Comfort

Pregnant women were given footbaths for 20 minutes during the active phase of the first stage of labour (after cervical dilatation of 4 cm) and 20 minutes during the transitional phase of the second stage of labour (cervical dilatation of 9 cm). Pregnant women who completed two footbath sessions were assessed for pain using the visual comparison scale. In addition, the data collection process will be completed by applying the Birth Comfort Scale after the two stages of labour.
