This study will be conducted with women who have given birth. The research is designed as a randomized controlled experimental study. The sample will consist of women who apply to the maternity ward of a hospital in Turkey for normal delivery. A total of 128 women are planned to be included in the study, divided into two groups: 64 in the spontaneous pushing group and 64 in the Valsalva pushing group. Data will be collected using a Personal Information Form, a Visual Analog Scale, and a Visual Analog Scale for Fatigue. The pushing methods used during childbirth will be taught to the women by the researcher, and then they will be asked to practice them. The forms will be administered during the latent phase and the fourth stage of labor.
