Labour Pain Relief Options: Video Versus Pamphlet for Easing Fear of Birth and Improving Preparedness in Pregnant Patients, an RCT
Sponsor: Fraser Health
Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate whether a structured educational video improves outcomes related to fear of birth and patient preparedness for pregnant adults who are planning to labour. The primary objective is to evaluate whether an educational video can reduce fear of childbirth more effectively than a pamphlet. Patients will complete a baseline questionnaire assessing their knowledge of labour pain relief options and their current fear of childbirth. The control group will be provided an electronic version of a pamphlet while the intervention group will watch an educational video outlining pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic options for labour pain relief. Immediately after the intervention, all participants will complete the same questionnaire to assess changes in fear and knowledge.
