The effect of focusing Anastatica Hierochuntica (Virgin Mary's Hand Plant) on childbirth pain, childbirth comfort, and traumatic childbirth perception.

The study designed as a randomized controlled trial included 140 pregnant women. Pregnant women in both groups were administered VAS and Childbirth Comfort Questionnaire (CCQ) Approximately two hours after delivery, Postpartum Comfort Questionnaire (PPCQ) was administered, and on the postpartum 15th day, the Scale for Traumatic Childbirth Perception (STCP) was applied.
