Effect of Pecha Kucha-Based Normal Birth Education on Birth Beliefs and Birth Preferences Among Pregnant Women Considering Elective Cesarean Section
Sponsor: Burdur Mehmet Akif Ersoy University
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.

Interventions
Pecha Kucha-Based Normal Birth Education
A structured face-to-face educational intervention delivered using the Pecha Kucha presentation format consisting of 20 slides displayed for 20 seconds each. The intervention was designed to provide evidence-based information about normal birth and cesarean section through concise, visually supported content.
Traditional Normal Birth Education
Face-to-face education delivered using a conventional oral presentation method. The educational content was identical to that provided in the experimental group but was delivered without the Pecha Kucha presentation format.
