What this trial studies
This observational study examines how attending antenatal classes affects the mode of delivery among women giving birth between January and December 2024. Participants will be divided into two groups: those who attended antenatal classes and those who did not, with data collected on their delivery outcomes. The study aims to determine if prenatal education can reduce the primary cesarean delivery rate by comparing the two groups across various delivery histories. The findings could provide insights into the effectiveness of prenatal education in influencing delivery methods.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates are women giving birth between January 2024 and December 2024 who have attended antenatal classes.
Not a fit: Patients with high-risk pregnancies or those undergoing repeat cesarean sections will not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to reduced cesarean delivery rates through improved prenatal education.
How similar studies have performed: Previous studies have shown that prenatal education can positively influence delivery outcomes, suggesting potential success for this approach.
Eligibility criteria
Show full inclusion / exclusion criteria
Inclusion Criteria: All women who gave birth between January 2024 and December 2024 and attended antenatal classes (gebe okulu) will be included in the study. For the control group (women who did not attend antenatal classes), participants will be randomly selected, matching the case group (antenatal class attendees) in terms of age, education level, and parity. Exclusion Criteria: Women with a history of previous cesarean sections who are undergoing a repeat cesarean in this pregnancy will be excluded. Women with high-risk pregnancies, such as preeclampsia, preterm labor, preterm premature rupture of membranes, multiple pregnancies, previous cesarean section, or placental abruption, will not be included in the study.
