Clinical Trial Description

The pregnant women were divided into two groups of 75 pregnant. In addition to the 6-week routine pregnancy training, a 90-minute psychodrama study was conducted to the experimental group. The experimental group was divided into 6 subgroups and trained (min = 9, max = 14). The control group was divided into 6 subgroups and trained (min = 11, max = 14). Prenatal psychodrama is held by psychodrama psychotherapists in individual and group therapy sessions. In these sessions the pregnant mother encounters herself, her baby, her partner, her mother, her fear of childbirth and the moment of birth; she may act as protagonist in some scenes and in this way she closes any unfinished business from the past and rehearses the future in a safe therapeutic environment.Data were collected using the information form, Wijma Delivery Expectancy/ Experience Questionnaire Version A (W-DEQ), Wijma Delivery Expectation / Experience Questionnaire Version B (W-DEQ), City Birth Trauma Scale and Edinburgh Postpartum Depression Scale. The data obtained were assesment using the SPSS (Version 21.0) package program on the computer. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
