ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying the effects of education on first-time pregnant women who are afraid of childbirth. The goal is to see if providing information and support can help reduce their fear, improve their readiness for childbirth, and increase their acceptance of becoming a mother. The study will take place at Kilis Prof. Dr. Alaeddin Yavaşca State Hospital from March to July 2025.

To participate, women must be in their third trimester (between 28-40 weeks) and this must be their first pregnancy. They should also be experiencing a moderate to high level of fear about childbirth, as measured by a specific questionnaire. Participants will receive education and support during their visits to the hospital, and their feelings and experiences will be assessed before and after the program. This trial aims to provide valuable insights into how education can help ease fears and prepare women for childbirth, which is an important step in their journey to motherhood.
