Summary
Our aim to conduct the study was to investigate the effects of the time of pregnant women’s admission to the labor ward on the labor process and interventions. This study is a two-group, prospective, analytical study. Groups were determined according to their cervical dilation levels. The data were collected using the Labor Process Form, and analyzed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences version. Within this context, the rates of amniotomy, induction with oxytocin, episiotomy, and cesarean section in the participants who presented to the hospital in the latent phase of labor were higher.
