Aim: This study aimed to investigate the effect of nursing care based on Kolcaba’s Comfort Theory on interventions during labour, maternal comfort, and the newborn.Material and Methods: This randomized controlled trial was conducted from June 2022 to December 2022 at a university hospital in Izmir, Türkiye, involving 64 women who agreed to participate in the study and had no high-risk pregnancies. Participants were divided into intervention (n=32) and control (n=32) groups using block randomization. Data collection tools included the “Sociodemographic and Obstetric Information Questionnaire,” “Labor Process (Partogram) and Outcomes Form,” “Comfort Behaviors Checklist,” and the “General Comfort Scale.”Results: In the nursing care developed according to Kolcaba’s Comfort Theory, a significant difference was found between the intervention and control groups in terms of labor interventions, labor duration, 1st and 5th-minute APGARscores, initial breastfeeding time, and maternal comfort levels (p 0.05).Conclusion: Nursing care developed according to Kolcaba’s Comfort Theory was found to have a positive impact on labor interventions, maternal comfort, and the newborn. This nursing care based on Kolcaba’s Comfort Theory was determined to be an effective nursing care approach.
