摘要

This randomized controlled trial was conducted to determine the effect of spiritual support provided through the Virgin Mary’s Hand Plant and Surah Maryam during labor on labour worries, labor pain, and maternal satisfaction. The study is conducted with 120 primiparous in a province in eastern Türkiye. Advanced analysis showed that there was no statistically significant difference in pain levels between women who listened to Surah Maryam and those who used the Virgin Mary’s Hand Plant; however, both groups showed statistically significant differences compared to the control group (F = 192.368, p = 0.00). Regarding labour worries and satisfaction, no significant differences were found between the experimental groups, yet both were statistically significant compared to the control group (F = 445.976, p = 0.00; F = 224.775, p = 0.00). It is recommended that women be allowed to use spiritual practices and non-pharmacological methods of their own choice during labor, thereby contributing to a more positive experience of labor pain, reducing labour worries, and enhancing birth satisfaction.
