Brief Summary:
The purpose of this clinical trial was to evaluate the effect of integrating a nursing care program based on Watson's Theory of Human Caring into the childbirth process on mothers' fear of childbirth and childbirth experience among women who had uncomplicated vaginal births.
The study aimed to examine whether nursing care structured according to Watson's Theory of Human Caring differed from routine nursing care in terms of fear of childbirth and childbirth experience during labor.
Researchers compared an intervention group, which received Watson's Theory-based nursing care, with a control group, which received routine nursing care, using standardized assessment tools.
Participants:
Received either nursing care based on Watson's Theory of Human Caring or routine nursing care during labor
Completed the Fear of Childbirth Scale (FOBS) and the Questionnaire for Assessing Childbirth Experience (QACE)
Were monitored and assessed throughout the labor process
Detailed Description:
This randomized controlled trial was designed to evaluate the effect of integrating a nursing care program based on Watson's Theory of Human Caring into the childbirth process on mothers' fear of childbirth and childbirth experience.
The study was conducted at a public hospital in Northern Cyprus between May 2024 and March 2025. A total of 30 mothers who experienced uncomplicated vaginal births were enrolled and randomly assigned to either the intervention group (n = 15) or the control group (n = 15).
The control group received routine nursing care, while the intervention group received nursing care structured according to Watson's Theory of Human Caring. The study employed a single-blind design, in which participants were unaware of their group allocation.
Data were collected using the Fear of Childbirth Scale (FOBS) and the Questionnaire for Assessing the Childbirth Experience - Short Version (QACE). These instruments were used to assess fear of childbirth and childbirth experience during labor and the postpartum period.
Statistical analyses were planned to compare outcomes between the intervention and control groups and to examine the effect of theory-based nursing care on fear of childbirth and childbirth experience.
