NCT ID NCT06691854
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a special care model for labor and delivery, based on World Health Organization recommendations, to see if it improves how women feel about their birth experience. The study included 124 first-time mothers with a single, healthy baby. Researchers compared women who received this model to those who did not, using surveys to measure respectful care, birth experience, and traumatic birth perception.
