Given that the three groups will be studied, 6 blocks are used. Each letter is assigned to a group (e.g. A: auricular acupressure, B: body acupressure, C: control with routine care). In this way, all possible states that 6 patients can be split evenly between three treatments are written and numbered as below: 1-AABBCC 2-ABACBC 3-AABCBC 4- BAABCC 5- CBACBA 6- … The next step is to select randomly amongst these different blocks for each group of six participants that are recruited. The random selection will be done using a list of random numbers generated using statistical software SPSS. By writing the contents of the blocks for those numbers (as long as the prescribed sample size is obtained), the random allocation sequence is determined. For example, if the numbers obtained are 4, 1, 1, 3 and ..., the assignment sequence will be as follows: BAABCC AABBCC AABBCC AABCBC Then, in the opaque sealed envelopes, the type of intervention is written by the assignment sequence and envelopes are encoded. Questionnaires are also encoded in sequence. In this case, the questionnaire with the same code will be completed for the person receiving the code 1 intervention, Blinding description: In the present study, due to the type of intervention, there is no possibility of the participant blindness and the person providing the intervention. However, to observe blindness when collecting information, one of the contributors performs the intervention plan and the other partner who does not know about the intervention will collect the data. Finally, after analyzing the questionnaires and entering them in SPSS-16, data analysis will be done. After analyzing data, the group code will be specified. Therefore, the person analyzing the findings of the study will also be blind to this grouping. 3 active phase of the first stage of labor. Intervention 1: Intervention group: auricular acupressure.
