Music intervention
The music played to the pregnant women was selected by the researchers in accordance with the definition of relaxing music made in the literature. Before the music selection, the researchers communicated with the TÜMATA (Turkish acronym for the "Research and Promotion of Turkish Music Association). After the meeting held with the association, it was decided to use the 'Acemaşiran' (a musical mode in traditional Turkish music). In the study, music prepared by the TÜMATA in the Acemaşiran mode was played. It is stated that Acemaşiran mode helps balance the body, helps the listener relax, facilitates birth, helps correct the wrong position of the fetus in the womb, and has a pain and spasm relieving effect.
