First seen Jul 13, 2026 · Last updated Jul 15, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study compares a prenatal education program based on the Indivisible Self Model—focusing on personal, social, and coping skills—to a standard needs-based program. It involves 76 first-time pregnant women between 28-32 weeks of pregnancy. The goal is to see if the new program improves psychological well-being, sense of coherence, and self-efficacy for normal birth.

- What this could lead to
- If effective, this program could offer a structured way to boost psychological well-being and birth confidence in first-time mothers.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage study with 76 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The program's benefits over standard education are uncertain.
