First seen Jul 09, 2026 · Last updated Jul 10, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests a four-session education program for first-time pregnant women (28-32 weeks) designed to reduce fear of childbirth and increase confidence. The program is based on health belief and self-efficacy theories. Half the participants receive the program plus routine care; the other half receive routine care only. Researchers measure fear, self-efficacy, and birth preferences before and after the program and after childbirth.
