Summary

Nurses, who play a key role in maternal and infant health, take action with evidence-based practices to reduce fear of childbirth, encourage natural birth, and improve negative pre-pregnancy, pregnancy, and post-pregnancy outcomes caused by fear.Considering the increasing rates of elective cesarean sections in developed countries, interventions against fear of childbirth have become more important. The negative effects of cesarean section on both maternal and infant health and the damage it causes to the health system due to increased costs are clear . For all these reasons, the inclusion of awareness-based interventions such as MBCP in childbirth preparation class education programs not only aims to reduce the increasing cesarean section rates, but also aims to provide awareness that women and their partners can benefit from not only during pregnancy, birth, and parenthood, but throughout their lives.

In addition to the 1-week birth preparation training at the Kayseri City Education and Research Hospital Pregnancy School, the intervention group received Mindfulness-Based Parenting and Birth Preparation Training. This training aimed to teach participants how to monitor their thoughts and emotional states, how to deepen their sensory awareness of their bodies, how to be more careful about how their minds work, and how to deepen their sensory self-awareness, so that they would be more sensitive during the birth and parenting processes. A total of 9 separate sessions were implemented. Mindfulness-Based Parenting and Birth Preparation Training was held once a week for 9 weeks, with the duration of each session varying according to the parents' compliance and needs in the program, and each session lasted an average of 150 minutes.
