This study was a single-blind, randomized controlled trial. We included 80 women (40 per group). We made the experimental group watch a comedy video for 18, 16, and 3 min in the latent, active, and transitional phases, respectively. We did not perform any intervention on the control group. We applied the Personal Information Form, Visual Analog Scale (VAS), and Childbirth Satisfaction Scale to all participants. We used chi-square, Wilcoxon test, and t-test to analyze the data. VAS pain scores for the experimental group (3.45 ± 1.35; 4.70 ± 1.32; 6.18 ± 1.51) were significantly lower than those for the control group (5.83 ± 2.06; 7.93 ± 1.37; 9.23 ± 0.99) at the latent, active, and transition phases of cervical dilation ( p p < .05). The technique of diverting attention with a comedy video was found to be effective in reducing labor pain and increasing labor satisfaction
