Vaccination Clinical Trial

Official title: The Effect of Telehealth Service Provided to Pregnant Women About Childhood Vaccines on Vaccine Attitudes and Vaccination

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to test the effect of telehealth service provided to pregnant women about childhood vaccines on vaccine attitudes and vaccination.

The main questions it aims to answer are:

• Does telehealth service provided to pregnant women about childhood vaccines decrease the mean scores of the vaccine attitudes scale?

• Does telehealth service provided to pregnant women about childhood vaccines increase the vaccination?

In the intervention group, researchers will send educational materials (video and e-brochures) about childhood vaccinations to the participants' mobile phones at regular intervals, answer their questions over the phone and send reminder messages before the vaccination appointment.

In the control group, there will be no information or intervention about childhood vaccines by the researchers, and standard procedure will be followed.

Researchers will compare the intervention and control groups to see if there is a difference between vaccination attitudes and vaccination rates.
