Summary

One of the behavioral intervention programs used to adapt to the changes experienced during pregnancy, birth and postpartum and to maintain a healthy transition to parenthood is Conscious Awareness-Based Practices Conscious awareness is an experiential process in which attention is directed purposefully and consciously to what is happening in the body and mind at that moment, and the content that emerges as a result of these observations is accepted with curiosity, understanding and compassion, without being judged, analyzed, or reacted . Due to their stated effects, these interventions help parents improve their awareness and acceptance of thoughts, feelings, and body sensations, reduce reactivity, avoid disturbing experiences, accept the roles and responsibilities of parenting in a non-judgmental manner, learn to use mechanisms to cope with the stress of parenting, and help themselves and the child. It is important to enable people to show compassion .

Awareness-based training can be integrated into birth preparation training as it is a method that can be used to improve birth parameters.

Awareness-Based Parenting and Birth Preparation Training applied during the transition to parenthood is important as it will increase the quality of pregnancy, birth and postpartum care, as it will increase competence and adaptation to parenting roles, facilitate the birth process, and ensure maternal and paternal attachment. For all these reasons, this research was planned to investigate the effects of Awareness-Based Parenting and Birth Preparation Training given to couples on maternal-paternal attachment, birth parameters and postpartum adaptation. It is thought that the training that parents receive to be aware of their own body and birth process will make a positive contribution to pregnancy, birth and the postpartum process.
