Childbirth is associated with labour pain and can be regarded as one of the most serious kinds of pain. Labour pain management methods include pharmacological and non-pharmacological methods. There is increasing evidence that virtual reality (VR) is effective in the reduction of labour pain. The aim of this qualitative study is to explore the experience, preference, and satisfaction of the use of two different VR scenario's during labour. The secondary outcome parameter is the effect of VR on pain reduction and anxiety during labour, measured by NRS score.
