The study conducted with 43 male (22 intervention; 21 control) participants. Participants were divided into intervention and control groups. The intervention group was given video training on pregnancy and the birth process.

Considering that there might be losses, the number of samples was increased by 10% and it was planned to include a total of 36 people in the study. Intention-to-treat analysis will be performed to manage bias and losses.
