Limitations
One limitation of the study is that oxytocin induction was applied to
all pregnant women in the early period of childbirth. Another limitation
is that only one study was found in the literature conducted on ice
application to SP6 point. Hence, the findings of the study were compared
against acupressure application and ice massage applied to various
points. Yet another limitation is that anxiety levels of the pregnant
women were not determined before the intervention. Finally, the findings
obtained in the study cannot be generalized to different societies;
therefore, comparative cultural studies on the effectiveness of this
application may yield interesting results.
