NCT ID NCT07593326
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether teaching first-time mothers how to do perineal massage during pregnancy can help them feel more in control, confident about a normal birth, and less afraid of childbirth. About 152 pregnant women in Turkey will either get this special education plus regular care, or just regular care. Researchers will measure changes in empowerment, self-belief, and fear levels to see if the education makes a difference.
