Summary

This study evaluated whether an antenatal visit to the delivery room combined with companion support during labor improves comfort and adaptation to childbirth among pregnant women. The childbirth environment and lack of familiarity with the delivery room may increase anxiety and reduce comfort during labor. Supportive interventions before and during labor may help women adapt more positively to the childbirth process.

In this randomized controlled trial, pregnant women were assigned either to an intervention group that received an antenatal delivery room visit and continuous companion support during labor, or to a control group that received standard maternity care without these interventions. Maternal comfort and adaptation to childbirth were assessed using validated measurement tools after birth.

The results of this study aim to support evidence-based maternity care practices and highlight the importance of antenatal preparation and continuous support during labor to enhance women's childbirth experiences.
