What this trial studies
This study evaluates the impact of a partnership model between midwives and pregnant women on childbirth experiences and satisfaction. It aims to address the challenges posed by the medicalization of midwifery care, which has diminished midwives' autonomy and the quality of care provided to expectant mothers. The research will involve 154 participants, with one group receiving personalized midwifery care during delivery while the control group will not receive any intervention. Data will be collected using various scales to assess collaboration, birth experience, and satisfaction, and analyzed through statistical methods.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates are pregnant women aged 18-35 who are in the active phase of labor with a single, healthy fetus.
Not a fit: Patients with chronic diseases, those over 35 years old, or who are unable to communicate effectively in Turkish may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could enhance the childbirth experience and satisfaction for pregnant women.
How similar studies have performed: While there are studies showing the benefits of continuity in midwifery care, this specific partnership model has not been extensively tested.
