“…The result of the randomized controlled trial performed by Henrique et al (2018) on labor pain, indicated that the pain scores were lower in the birth ball exercises application group along with the hydrotherapy; thus, birth ball exercises application, and combined groups, is similar to the result of the present study. The systematic reviews, meta‐analysis studies and some studies on using a birth ball during labor determined that the birth ball reduced labor pain (Aktaş et al, 2021; Apriani et al, 2019; Delgado et al, 2019; Emam & Al‐Zahrani, 2018; Farrag & Omar, 2018; Gallo et al, 2014; Grenvik et al, 2021; Hidayati & RunjatiSantoso, 2017; Leung et al, 2013; Makvandi et al, 2015; Sari, 2019; Shedmake & Wakode, 2021; Shirazi et al, 2019; Taavoni et al, 2016; Ulfa, 2021; Vaijayanthimala & Judie, 2014). Studies in the literature support the findings of this study.…”
