2. Is the mean birth satisfaction scale score of pregnant women who attend childbirth preparation education with their spouses higher than that of women in the group with unique participation in childbirth preparation education and the control group who were left to usual care?
3. Is the mean birth memory and recall scale score of pregnant women who attend childbirth preparation education with their spouses higher than that of women in the group with unique participation in childbirth preparation education and the control group who were left to usual care?
4. Are the birth preferences of pregnant women who attend childbirth preparation education with their spouses significantly different from those of women in the group with unique participation in childbirth prep

Detailed Description

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

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.
