Detailed Description

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

The study is a randomized controlled trial. It will be conducted at the prenatal school of Konya City Hospital between December 2025 and May 2026. A total of 126 primiparous pregnant women will be included in the study (intervention group n=63, control group n=63). The intervention group will receive the Constructivist-Based Prenatal Education Program, while the control group will receive the standard prenatal care and education provided by the hospital. Data will be collected using a personal information form, the Fear of Childbirth Scale, the Pain Beliefs Scale, and the Self-Efficacy for Normal Birth Scale.
