The study will be conducted with pregnant women who meet the participation criteria and voluntarily agree to participate, and who are hospitalized in the maternity unit of Çorum Hitit University Erol Olçok Training and Research Hospital on the dates when the study is conducted.

Effect of Pecha Kucha-Based Normal Birth Education on Birth Beliefs and Birth Preferences Among Pregnant Women Considering Elective Cesarean Section

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.
