Introduction: Birth is a period in which biological, physical, emotional and social changes are experienced. Supportive care provided by the midwife ensures the adaptation of the woman to labor and improves her ability to cope with labor. Supportive care has positive effects on labor and maternal and infant health. Purpose: This project aimed to determine the birth pain, comfort and satisfaction levels by considering the continuous midwifery care at birth with a holistic approach. Method: The universe of this study, which will be conducted in randomized controlled experimental type, will consist of pregnant women who applied to Adana City Training and Research Hospital, Gynecology and Obstetrics Clinic, Delivery Room. The number of samples was calculated by G\*power analysis, and it was aimed to carry out the research with 30 participants in the intervention group and 30 participants in the control group. Single-blind randomized assignment and block randomization will be performed to avoid selection bias. Data will be collected using face-to-face interview technique. The pre-test will be applied to pregnant women who apply to the delivery room in the latent phase. While the continuous midwifery care model will be applied to the intervention group, standard midwifery care will be applied to the control group. The final test will be done between 1-4 hours postpartum. The independent variable of the study is continuous midwifery care. The dependent variable is the introductory characteristics of women, labor pain, comfort and satisfaction levels. The data will be analyzed with appropriate analysis methods after performing normality tests.
