Abstract :Abstract Introduction: The research was carried out to compare the perception of birth and outcomes of pregnant women who were both administered and not administered dinoprostone. Methods: A descriptive-comparative study involving 160 pregnant women (80 with dinoprostone, 80 without) was conducted. Data were collected using a Personal Information Form, Visual Analog Scale, APGAR Score Evaluation Scale, and Maternal Birth Perception Scale. Descriptive statistics and a chi-square significance test were used to analyze the data. The statistical significance level has been accepted as p <0.05. Results: Pregnant women within the scope of the study show homogeneity in terms of introductory and obstetric variables. When the mean mean scores of the pregnant women were compared; It was found that the pain perception levels of the pregnant women who were not administered dinoprostane were higher after uterine contractions and in the active phase compared to the other phases. The difference between the mean pain scores was statistically significant (p=0.007). In comparing delivery times between groups that administered and did not administered dinoprostone, it was determined that the difference between the groups for the total time was statistically significant (p=0.001). It was determined that the difference in APGAR scores at the 1st and 5th minutes in the groups administered and not administered dinoprostone was not statistically significant (p=0.73). In the study, the mean POBS total score was found to be 84.38±11.96 in the group administered dinoprostane and 76.98 ± 14.98 in the group not applied dinoprostane, and a statistically significant difference was found between the groups (p = 0.001). Conclusion: It has been observed that dinoprostane used in the study is effective in labor pain and the mother\\\'s perception of delivery. As a result of the study, it was observed that dinoprostone treatment did not affect the newborn APGAR scores. Keywords: Dinoprostane, Birth Pain, Birth Perception, Birth Output, Pregnancy.
