What this trial studies

This clinical trial evaluates the impact of a Snoezelen room, which incorporates aromatherapy and sensory stimuli, on the delivery process for first-time pregnant women. Participants will be randomly assigned to either an intervention group that experiences the Snoezelen room or a control group. The study aims to assess pain levels and childbirth satisfaction using various scales throughout labor. Conducted at Sakarya Training and Research Hospital, this trial seeks to introduce a novel approach to midwifery in Turkey.
