Summary

Aims: The aim is to examine the effect of virtual delivery room visits on primiparous women's beliefs about normal birth and their birth adaptation.

Method: A prospective, randomized controlled study was conducted between July and November 2023 at a training hospital in the Western Black Sea Region of Türkiye. Eighty pregnant women were randomly assigned to the intervention (n=40) and control (n=40) groups. Pre-test data were collected using the Participant Information Form and the Belief Scale for Normal Delivery(BSND), and post-test data were collected with BSND after the virtual delivery room visit. The Birth Adaptation Self-Assessment Scale(BASAS) and Birth Adaptation Midwife Assessment Scale(BAMAS) were administered to the intervention group.

virtual delivery room visit

The real-time labour room demonstration video aims to increase participants' awareness of the labour process, reduce unfamiliarity, and facilitate participation for pregnant women with access restrictions. Produced with a 360-degree camera, it shows detailed sections of the labour room, starting from the entrance. Key areas like birthing beds, toilets, bathrooms, and labour materials (mats, pilates balls, TVs) are highlighted. The video also covers baby cots and rest areas for attendants. Narrated by an experienced midwife, the video ensures patient privacy, no interventions, and excludes images or sounds of other pregnant women. Converted to 360-degree format, the video is available on YouTube for repeated viewing. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EyCt-jTDCVs)
