Summary

This study is designed to evaluate whether a virtual reality (VR) intervention can help reduce pain and anxiety and improve childbirth satisfaction among laboring women. Eligible participants will be randomly assigned to either a VR intervention group or a control group receiving standard intrapartum care. Women in the VR group will use a virtual reality headset that provides immersive natural imagery and music during labor, while women in the control group will receive routine care without VR. The study will compare levels of labor pain, anxiety, and childbirth satisfaction between the two groups to determine the effectiveness of the virtual reality intervention as supportive care during labor.
