Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Recruitment has recently been initiated for a randomized controlled study of Art Therapy for the treatment of fear of childbirth.
The hypothesis for the study is as follows:
H1 = treatment with Art Therapy and therapeutic conversations will result in a decrease in fear of childbirth when compared to treatment by therapeutic conversations only.
The instrument which is to be used for measurement of childbirth fear is the Wijma Delivery Expectancy Questionnaire (W-DEQ). This is a well validated instrument which was developed in Sweden. A power calculation has shown a need for 62 x 2 participants; a total of 124 women.
