ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is exploring how a specific training program, called solution-focused approach training, can help pregnant women who have experienced traumatic births. The study aims to see if this training can improve how women perceive their birth experiences, boost their confidence in having a vaginal birth, and influence their preferences for how they want to give birth. The trial will involve 80 pregnant women who are in their third trimester, with half receiving the training and the other half receiving standard care without any additional training.

To participate, women need to be over 20 years old, able to speak Turkish, and in their third trimester of pregnancy (between 28-35 weeks). They should not have any serious medical conditions or previous psychiatric diagnoses. Participants in the training group will attend 6-8 sessions where they will learn skills to help them cope better and feel more empowered about their birth experience. The study will also gather information about their birth preferences and feelings about childbirth. Overall, this research aims to support women's mental well-being during pregnancy and improve their childbirth experiences.
