Summary

This randomized controlled trial was conducted to evaluate the effect of Pecha Kucha-based normal birth education on birth beliefs and mode of birth preferences among primiparous pregnant women considering elective cesarean section without a medical indication. A total of 76 pregnant women between 28 and 32 weeks of gestation were randomly assigned to either an experimental group or a control group. The experimental group received normal birth education using the Pecha Kucha presentation technique, whereas the control group received the same educational content through a traditional face-to-face oral presentation. Birth beliefs and birth mode preferences were assessed before the intervention, immediately after the intervention, and one month after the intervention. The study aimed to determine whether a brief, structured, and visually supported educational intervention could improve beliefs regarding normal birth and increase preference for vaginal delivery among women considering elective cesarean section.

Pecha Kucha-Based Normal Birth Education
