The present study was the first one evaluated the effect of haptonomy intervention on the birth method and no study was found in the literature review in this area. One of the limitations of the present study was the impossibility of blinding of participants due to the nature of study. In addition, this study was conducted on primigravida women, and the results cannot be generalized to multiparous women with secondary FOC caused by traumatic childbirth experience. Duration of laber and social support were not measured in this study which could affect the FOC score after birth.
