What this trial studies
This study investigates how solution-focused approach training can impact women's perceptions of traumatic birth, their self-efficacy regarding vaginal birth, and their preferences for delivery type. Conducted as a randomized controlled trial, it will involve 80 pregnant women in their third trimester, who will be divided into experimental and control groups. The training will consist of 6-8 sessions aimed at enhancing psychological well-being and addressing concerns related to childbirth. The outcomes will be assessed to determine the effectiveness of the training on birth-related perceptions and preferences.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are nulliparous pregnant women aged 20 and above, who are in their third trimester and able to speak Turkish.
Not a fit: Patients with high-risk pregnancies or those who have previously received psychiatric diagnoses may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could empower women to have a more positive perception of childbirth and increase their confidence in vaginal delivery.
How similar studies have performed: While similar approaches have been explored, this specific intervention focusing on traumatic birth perception and self-efficacy is relatively novel.
