Summary
This study tested a nurse-led psychoeducation program for 80 first-time pregnant women who had a high perception of birth as traumatic. The program aimed to reduce that perception, improve mother-infant bonding, support breastfeeding, and lower postpartum depression. Participants were between 22 and 32 weeks pregnant and had no psychiatric illness.
