NCT ID NCT07268027
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested a 3-day prenatal education program for first-time mothers to see if it could reduce fear of childbirth, change pain beliefs, and boost confidence for a normal delivery. 126 pregnant women participated, with half receiving the program and half not. The program used a constructivist approach, meaning women actively built their own understanding through group classes.
