Summary

This study looks at whether allowing the father to be present during a planned cesarean section helps the mother recover better after surgery. Researchers will compare mothers whose partner is in the operating room with those who receive standard care (no partner present). The main outcome is the mother's self-reported quality of recovery, measured by a questionnaire. The study plans to enroll 110 healthy pregnant women and their partners at a single hospital in Turkey.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
partner presence in operating room
What this could lead to
If it works, this could show that having the partner present during a planned C-section helps mothers feel better and recover more smoothly.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with only 110 participants, so results may not apply to all hospitals or cultures. The main measure is a questionnaire, which is subjective.
