Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Aim: This study was aimed to evaluate the effect of antenatal education based on improving health literacy on the adaptation of pregnancy, general self-efficacy, fear of childbirth, and health literacy in primiparous pregnant women.

Design: It was a randomized controlled trial. Method: The research was carried out in a city located in the Marmara region of Turkey between July 2018 and April 2019. It was conducted with three groups, including one control (n=73) and two intervention groups (n=109). One of the intervention group was given antenatal education based on improving health literacy (n=53), and the other was only provided with antenatal education (n=56). Pregnancy Information Form, Prenatal Self-Evaluation Questionnaire, Pregnancy Related Anxiety Scale, General Self-Efficacy Scale, and Health Literacy-TR32 scale were used for data collection.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Background: Pregnant women get themselves ready to give birth, maternity and parenting through antenatal education. These trainings make it easier to adapt to the processes in which pregnant women experience change. They also provide an important opportunity to support and maintain the competence and motivation to manage health responsibility.

Aim: To evaluate the impact of antenatal education intervention based on improving health literacy in order for primiparous pregnant women to; accept the pregnancy and adopt the role of maternity; increase the level of general self-efficacy and health literacy; reduce the fear of childbirth; and support the level of breastfeeding.

Design: It is an experimental and randomized controlled trial. Method: The research was carried out in a town located in the Marmara region of Turkey between April 2019 and July 2018. It was conducted with three groups, including one control (73) and two training groups (109). One of the training group was given antenatal education based on improving health literacy (HL-AE) (53), and the other was only provided with antenatal education (AE) (56). Pregnancy identification form, prenatal self-evaluation questionnaire, pregnancy related anxiety scale, general self-efficacy scale, Turkey health literacy -32 scale and postpartum data collection form were used for data collection.
