NCT ID NCT07451691
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a World Health Organization-based care model—focused on respect, support, and involving women in decisions—can reduce labour pain, increase comfort and satisfaction, and lower the risk of postpartum depression. About 108 pregnant women at term will be randomly assigned to receive this model or standard care. The goal is to see if this approach improves the overall childbirth experience and mental health after delivery.
