Doğum eyleminin başında (latent faz) deney ve kontrol heriki gruba alınan gebelerle birebir görüşülerek tanıtıcı bilgi formu ve durumlukanksiyete ölçeği uygulanmıştır. Deney grubunda yer alan gebelere doğum eylemive solunum teknikleri hakkında eğitim verilmiştir. Solunum ve pozisyondeğişikliği yapması ve gevşemesi konusunda gebeler desteklenmiştir. Latent fazbitmeden deney grubu gebelere durumluk anksiyete ölçeği tekrar uygulanmıştır.Kontrol grubundaki gebeler doğumhanede yapılan rutin işlemler dahilindekiizleme bırakılmıştır. Bulgular: Araştırma sonucunda verileneğitimin etkinliği değerlendirilmiştir. Gebelere uygulanan ağrı hafifletmeyöntemlerinin gebelerin durumluk kaygı düzeyini düşürdüğü saptanmıştır. Doğumağrısını hafifletmek amacıyla solunum egzersizi, gevşeme ve pozisyondeğişikliği gibi yöntemleri kapsayan girişimlerden önce gebelerin kaygı puanortalamasının 59.37 iken, eğitim sonrası35.70'e düştüğü belirlenmiş, aradaki fark istatistiksel olarak anlamlıbulunmuştur (p<0.005).Sonuç: Bu yöntemlerle ebelerin, doğumahazırlıkları yetersiz olan gebelerin travaydaki kaygılarını azaltabileceğigörülmüştür.
