Design: A quasi-experimental research design was used to conduct this study. Setting: The study was carried out at the labor unit in (the obstetrics & gynecology department) at Mansoura University Hospital Subjects and method: A purposive sample of 200 pregnant women was recruited in this study; the studied pregnant women were assigned into two groups, with 100 pregnant women in each group (the intervention (virtual reality ) and control groups). Tools: two tools were used to collect data: Tool (1): A structured interviewing questionnaire and Tool (II): The Mackey Childbirth Satisfaction Rating Scale. Results: The present study revealed that the maternal childbirth satisfaction means score in the virtual reality group was higher than that of the control group (P< 0.001). The length of the active and second phases of parturition in the virtual reality group was significantly lower than that of the control group.
