Clinical Trial Summary

Background: Caesarean delivery rates are quite high, especially in primipara, in Turkey. Fear of birth, low childbirth self-efficacy, and psychological factors may be among the primary causes. Since antenatal educations are not universal and there are differences in educational contents, there is not sufficient evidence on this topic in international studies.

Objective: To investigate the effects of antenatal education on birth fear, depression, anxiety, stress, childbirth self-efficacy, and mode of delivery in primiparous pregnant women.


Clinical Trial Description

Background: Caesarean delivery rates are quite high, especially in primipara, in Turkey. Fear of birth, low childbirth self-efficacy, and psychological factors may be among the primary causes. Since antenatal educations are not universal and there are differences in educational contents, there is not sufficient evidence on this topic in international studies.

Objective: To investigate the effects of antenatal education on birth fear, depression, anxiety, stress, childbirth self-efficacy, and mode of delivery in primiparous pregnant women.

Design: A single-blind, prospective, randomized controlled trial. Setting and Participants: The study was conducted in a province in Central Anatolia region in Turkey, and the data were collected between April 2019 and September 2019. Randomized block assignment was used to assign 120 primiparous pregnant women to either the antenatal education group (n = 60) or the control group (n = 60). At the end of the study, 112 women were evaluated.

Measurements: Those in the antenatal education group received two-hour (240 min) educational sessions, twice a week, for 4 weeks.
