Plain-language summary

Women's psycho-social health during pregnancy could influence the course of pregnancy, psychological and emotional life, not only in labor but also during the postpartum period. Women's perception of birth and their self-efficacy may affect the birth and postpartum period, and their delivery preference. The study aims to examine the effect of solution-oriented approach training on traumatic birth perception, vaginal birth selfefficacy, and delivery preference. It was designed in a randomized controlled experimental type. The sample in the study will comprise 80 pregnant women (40 experimental and 40 control groups) with the help of power analysis. The study is going to be conducted with pregnant women applying to KTU Farabi Hospital between May and December 2022. 6-8 sessions of solution-oriented approach training will be given to pregnant women with 28 weeks of gestation and above and willing to take part in the study, and their delivery preferences will be examined, afterward. The pregnant women in the control group, on the other hand, will not be subjected to any training or interview other than routine pregnancy follow-ups. Data will be gathered through the Pregnant introductory information form, traumatic birth perception scale form, and vaginal birth self-efficacy form. Ethics Committee Permission, institutional permission from the institution where the research will be conducted, and written informed consent from the mothers will be obtained before the research. The data will be statistically evaluated through the SPSS 23 program. Student t-test or Mann-Whitney U tests will be applied for two independent groups. One A Way or Kruskal-Wallis tests will be applied for three or more independent groups, depending on whether the data meet the parametric conditions. Paired T or Wilcoxon tests will be used for two dependent groups, and Friedman or Repeat Measure tests will be applied for three or more groups. In statistical evaluation, p\<0.05 will be considered significant.

Questions worth asking your doctor

Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.

1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Questions for the trial coordinator

The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.

1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?

A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
