In the study, random assignment and randomization concealment will be applied to control selection bias. Pregnant women were assigned to groups by an independent statistician using the block randomization method. For this purpose, 6-digit combinations consisting of the letters "A", "B" and "C" were first created in the randomization of 78 women.
There will be three groups in the randomized experimental controlled study:PRE (Progressive Relaxation Exercise), VR (Virtual Reality)+PGR (Progressive Relaxation Exercise) and Control group. In order to carry out the application phase of the study, the responsible researcher participated in the training program on PRE and received a certificate on this subject. In addition, permission for the use of PRE Cd was obtained from the Turkish Psychologists Association to be used in the PRE group. The following procedures will be performed for pregnant women included in the study.
