The research questions of this study are listed below.
- Is the mean spouse support score of pregnant women who attend childbirth preparation education with their spouses higher than that of women in the group with unique participation in childbirth preparation education and the control group who were left to usual care?
- Is the mean birth satisfaction scale score of pregnant women who attend childbirth preparation education with their spouses higher than that of women in the group with unique participation in childbirth preparation education and the control group who were left to usual care?
- Is the mean birth memory and recall scale score of pregnant women who attend childbirth preparation education with their spouses higher than that of women in the group with unique participation in childbirth preparation education and the control group who were left to usual care?
- Are the birth preferences of pregnant women who attend childbirth preparation education with their spouses significantly different from those of women in the group with unique participation in childbirth prep
详细描述
Pregnancy is a physiological process that can create significant physical, psychological, and emotional stress for women. During this time, they may experience various symptoms and complaints. The outcomes of pregnancy can be unpredictable, which is why it's crucial for pregnant women to receive ample support from those around them, particularly their spouses. As a result, many women may choose to attend prenatal preparation courses. Ultimately, every woman desires a safe and uncomplicated birth, tailored to her preferences, and with a high level of satisfaction.
The purpose of this randomized controlled experimental study is to determine the effect of childbirth preparation classes on perception of spouse support and birth satisfaction.

研究组 & 干预措施
Kontrol
Participants in the control group will not receive any intervention. They will be left to the clinic's usual care.

干预措施: Chilbirth Education (Behavioral)
结局指标
主要结局
Introduction form
时间窗: During registration (first day)
Participants will complete a five-question introduction form, including four sociodemographic questions and a question about birth preferences.
Pre Education-Spousal Support During Pregnancy
时间窗: During registration (first day)
The Perception of Spousal Support in Pregnancy Scale (PSSPS) (22 questions) will be administered during registration. The lowest possible score from the total scale is 16, and the highest score is 80. High scores from the scale indicate that perceived spousal support during pregnancy is high, while low scores indicate that perceived spousal support is low.
After Education - Spousal Support During Pregnancy
时间窗: After education (When Childbirth Education is Finish)
The Perception of Spousal Support During Pregnancy Scale (PSSPS) (22 questions) will be administered after childbirth education . The lowest possible score from the total scale is 16, and the highest score is 80. High scores from the scale indicate high perceived spousal support during pregnancy, while low scores indicate low perceived spousal support.
Postpartum- Memories and Recall
时间窗: First week postpartum (during first clinical check-up)
Birth memories and how he remembered his birth will be assessed with the "Birth Memories and Recall Questionnaire (BirthMARQ)" The scale has six sub-dimensions, and each sub-dimension is scored on its own. It is a 7-point Likert scale. Emotional memory sub-dimension: High scores in this dimension indicate having negative feelings about the birth experience. Ambiguous Emotional Memory Sub-dimension: High scores in this dimension indicate having more ambiguous feelings about the birth experience. Centrality of memory sub-dimension: High scores indicate that the birth memory is more centralized in the mother. Consistency and reliving sub-dimension: High scores in this dimension indicate a more consistent birth memory and more reliving. Sensory memory sub-scale: Higher scores indicate increased sensory memory of the birth experience. Involuntary recall sub-scale: Higher scores indicate more frequent involuntary recall.
Postpartum-Birth Satisfaction Scale Short Form (BSE-S)
时间窗: First week postpartum (during first clinical check-up)
The Birth Satisfaction Scale Short Form (BSE-S), which uses a 5-point Likert scale, will be utilized to measure birth satisfaction. The scale ranges from a lowest score of 0 to a highest score of 40 points. As the score increases, so does the level of satisfaction. For this study, the cut-off scores have been divided into three equal parts as follows: * Low satisfaction level: less than 13 points * Medium satisfaction level: 14 to 27 points * High satisfaction level: 28 points or more
