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.
