Detailed description

Pregnancy is a physiological process that can create significant physical, psychological, and emotional stress for women. During this time, they may experience various symptoms and complaints. The outcomes of pregnancy can be unpredictable, which is why it's crucial for pregnant women to receive ample support from those around them, particularly their spouses. As a result, many women may choose to attend prenatal preparation courses. Ultimately, every woman desires a safe and uncomplicated birth, tailored to her preferences, and with a high level of satisfaction. The purpose of this randomized controlled experimental study is to determine the effect of childbirth preparation classes on perception of spouse support and birth satisfaction.
