简要总结
In this prospective, randomized controlled study, it was aimed to examine the effect of pregnant women participating in birth preparation training together with their partners on the parenting role, spouses' attitudes towards participation in birth, and birth self-efficacy.
The study was shared via the web on social media (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Telegram) forum pages between 25.09.2023-25.03.2025, and n=158 pregnant women who met the inclusion criteria and volunteered to participate in the study (79= education without spouse participation, 79= spouse Participatory education) will be conducted randomly in two groups: case and control.
Before starting the research, two groups will be randomly formed among pregnant women. As a randomization method, pregnant women who meet the sampling inclusion criteria determined in the research will be identified and listed. Individuals to be taken into two groups will be determined by randomization method from the random numbers table. (http://www.stattrek.com/statistics/randomnumber-generator.aspx).

The study was shared via the web on social media (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Telegram) forum pages between 25.09.2023-25.03.2025, and n=158 pregnant women who met the inclusion criteria and volunteered to participate in the study (79= education without spouse participation, 79= spouse Participatory education) will be conducted randomly in two groups: case and control.
Since the study is descriptive in nature, it was calculated that 158 pregnant women should be included in the study in order to determine the scale score regarding the "Spouse Support Scale" score with an 80% effect level, 95% confidence level and 5% margin of error.
Before starting the research, two groups will be randomly formed among pregnant women. As a randomization method, pregnant women who meet the sampling inclusion criteria determined in the research will be identified and listed. Individuals to be taken into two groups will be determined by randomization method from the random numbers table. (http://www.stattrek.com/statistics/randomnumber-generator.aspx).
In the first interview for both groups, "Information Form", "Postpartum Parenting Behavior Scale", "Self-Efficacy Scale in Labor", "Attitude Scale towards Participating in Birth for Expectant Fathers" and "Spouse Support Scale" were given to each participant with information about the study. After the purpose of the study is explained, an e-survey containing survey and scale questions will be used. The e-survey will be arranged so that each participant participates only once. In the first part of the e-survey, information about the study and the purpose of the study will be explained to the pregnant women, and if they confirm that they want to participate, they will begin the second part, the survey questions. Pregnant women assigned to the training group are included in the Birth Preparation Class and taught online for 4 weeks, once a week, for an average of 3 hours a day. They will be asked to participate in the ongoing training with their spouses. All scales will be repeated before training, after training and in the 1st month after birth. Birth Preparation Training will be provided by a certified educator and researcher who has training in the field.
In the study, the "Information Form", "Postpartum Parenting Behavior Scale", "Self-Efficacy in Labor Scale", "Attitude Scale towards Participating in Birth for Expectant Fathers" and "Spouse Support Scale" prepared by the researchers will be used.

Parenting behavior evaluated using the Postpartum Parenting Behavior Scale
时间窗: change from baseline implamentation patent and after training and 1st month after birth of practice
It is used to evaluate the parenting behavior of parents towards the baby during their first encounter with their baby after birth. The scale can only be applied to parents in the first minutes after birth. Britton et al. It was developed by Çalışır et al. Turkish validity and reliability were conducted by. The scale, which consists of items such as close contact, touching with affection, examining the baby, talking with affection, positive comments and happiness, is evaluated in a binary scoring manner by marking these items as present/absent. Each item is evaluated as one (1) point if the behavior is observed, and zero (0) point if the behavior is not observed. The total scale score consists of the sum of the numbers obtained from each item. The total score of the scale is between 0-6 points. A higher total score from the scale indicates that the parent has more positive parenting behavior towards his/her baby.
Parenting self-efficacy in labor evaluated using the Self-Efficacy in Labor Scale
时间窗: change from baseline implamentation patent and after training and 1st month after birth of practice
he Turkish validity and reliability study of the scale, which measures women's self-confidence and coping ability regarding labor, was conducted by Ersoy. The scale has two sub-dimensions: outcome and competence expectation. Each sub-dimension of the scale consists of 16 questions. The lowest score to be obtained from the scale sub-dimensions is 16 and the highest score is 160. High scores from the subscales indicate that pregnant women have high expectations of adequacy and outcome regarding birth. Responses on a Likert-type scale are scored from 1 to 10.
Spouse support evaluated using the Spouse Support Scale
时间窗: change from baseline implamentation patent and after training and 1st month after birth of practice
The scale developed by Yıldırım (2004) is used to measure the support spouses receive from each other. The scale consists of a total of 27 questions, and there are 3 reversed items (10,20,24). The scale has a three-point rating; It is shown as Suitable for Me=3, Partially Suitable for Me=2, Not Suitable for Me=1. Just like straight items, reversed items are scored in reverse. The scale has four factors. The first factor is 'emotional support' (6,16,12,21,4,1,3,9,2) consisting of nine items, and the second factor is 'financial aid and information support' (24,17,27,25,13,7, 15) consists of seven items, the third factor 'appreciation support' (18,10,5,26,14,22,23,20) consists of eight items, and the fourth factor 'social interest support' (19,11,8) consists of three items. The score that can be obtained from EDS varies between 27-81. The lower the score, the less support, the higher the score, the more support. The Cronbach Alpha coefficient of the scale is stated as 0.95.
Father candidates towards participating in the birth evaluated using the Attitude Scale for Father Candidates Towards Participating in the Birth
时间窗: change from baseline implamentation patent and after training and 1st month after birth of practice
The scale developed by Çiçek Özdemir and Kan in 2022 is used to evaluate the attitudes of father candidates towards attending the birth. The scale consists of 26 items and is a five-point Likert type. The reactions of the prospective fathers who answered the scale to the items are measured with five options for positive statements, depending on their degree of agreement: completely agree = 5, agree = 4, undecided = 3, disagree = 2, completely disagree = 1. The scale contains 18 positive items and 8 negative items. Negative expressions are coded by reversing. The scale consists of three subscales: Positive Emotions Towards Participating in Birth, Negative Emotions Towards Participating in Birth, and Actions Towards Participating in Birth.
