NCT ID NCT07496879
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether giving first-time mothers a virtual tour of the delivery room through QR codes can reduce their fear of childbirth, increase readiness, and improve vaginal birth rates and breastfeeding confidence. One hundred pregnant women between 28-32 weeks will watch three short videos about admission, the labor room, and postpartum care. Researchers will measure fear, readiness, and self-efficacy using standard questionnaires before and after the intervention.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- QR code-based virtual tour videos of the delivery room
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could offer a simple, low-cost way to help first-time mothers feel less afraid and more prepared for childbirth.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage study with only 100 participants, so results may not apply to all women. The intervention is just videos, so it may not reduce fear for everyone.
