Data analysis
Independent samples t test, Fisher’s Exact test, and Chi-square test
were used in order to determine the differences between the intervention
and the control group in terms of sociodemographic and obstetric
characteristics. The Kolmogorov-Smirnov test was used to assess the
normal distribution of the data. In addition, Mann-Whitney test was
employed for the data that did not show normal distribution in order to
identify the differences between the groups in terms of labor pain,
labor comfort, and state anxiety. In order to determine the difference
between the groups in terms of labor duration, Independent Sample t test
was performed. Finally, Spearman’s R Correlation test was used in order
to determine the relationship between state anxiety level and comfort
level in childbirth.
