Pregnant Women Participating in Birth Preparation Training With Their Spouses on the Parenting Role, Attitudes of Their Spouses Towards Participating in the Birth, and Birth Self-Efficacy
In this prospective, randomized controlled study, it was aimed to examine the effect of pregnant women participating in birth preparation training together with their partners on the parenting role, spouses' attitudes towards participation in birth, and birth self-efficacy.
The study was shared via the web on social media (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Telegram) forum pages between 25.09.2023-25.03.2025, and n=158 pregnant women who met the inclusion criteria and volunteered to participate in the study (79= education without spouse participation, 79= spouse Participatory education) will be conducted randomly in two groups: case and control.
Before starting the research, two groups will be randomly formed among pregnant women. As a randomization method, pregnant women who meet the sampling inclusion criteria determined in the research will be identified and listed. Individuals to be taken into two groups will be determined by randomization method from the random numbers table. (http://www.stattrek.com/statistics/randomnumber-generator.aspx).

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?
