The Effect of Touching the Fetal Head During the Perineal Crowning Phase

Turkey (Türkiye)68 participantsStarted 2025-01-19

Plain-language summary

In this study, it is planned to shorten the second stage of labor by touching the fetal head during the second stage of labor. It is thought that touching will also have positive effects on the mother and the newborn. The fact that touching the fetal head is a cost-free and easily applicable action is a different and strong aspect from other studies. This research study that we have planned is quite meaningful in terms of ensuring a comfortable postpartum period within the scope of mother and baby-friendly practices that our Ministry emphasizes.
