About this study
Official title: The Effect of Turkish Music
Nurses and midwives stand at the forefront during childbirth; their expertise in using natural pain relief techniques not only lessens the sensation of labor pain but also helps in calming the nerves of expectant mothers. These techniques are not only safe and easy to use but also kind on the pocket and devoid of any adverse effects. Such methods can make childbirth experiences as positive and comfortable as possible. Research has delved deeper into how music shaped by cultural tastes can significantly affect individuals, leading to a closer examination of how Turkish tunes influence discomfort and nervousness during labor. The goal of this research was to explore how Turkish melodies impact pain and anxiety feelings among women going through childbirth for the first time.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Angle Labor Pain Questionnaire
Pain Level by Angle Labor Pain Questionnaire.
Measured: Approximately one hour after admission to the delivery room, change from the initial pain level in 30 minutes. Scores of Angle Labor Pain Questionnaire ranged from 0 to 220, with higher values indicating greater pain intensity.
Visual Analog Scale (VAS)
Pain Level by Visual Analog Scale (VAS)
Measured: Approximately one hour after admission to the delivery room, change from the initial pain level in 30 minutes. VAS is a 10 cm line used to measure perceived pain intensity, with endpoints labeled "No Pain" and "Worst Pain Imaginable."
The State Anxiety Scale (SAS)
The State Anxiety Scale (SAS) measures anxiety as a temporary emotional state.
Measured: Approximately one hour after admission to the delivery room, change from the initial anxiety level in 30 minutes. The total scores range from 20 to 80, with higher scores indicating greater anxiety.
