Conclusions
The findings obtained in the study shows that ice massage applied to SP6
point decreases labor pain and affects comfort level in childbirth.
However, it was also determined that this application did not have any
effects on labor duration and anxiety level. Ice massage should be
considered as a simple, affordable, and accessible instrument to help
relieve labor pain. Ice massage applied in order to relieve labor pain
and provide comfort can ensure active participation of mothers in
childbirth process and increase their satisfaction with vaginal
delivery. In addition, there exists a need for studies to be conducted
on ice massage applied to SP6 point.
