The Effect of Virtual Delivery Room Visit on Birth Belief and Adaptation

Aims: The aim is to examine the effect of virtual delivery room visits on primiparous women's beliefs about normal birth and their birth adaptation. Method: A prospective, randomized controlled study was conducted between July and November 2023 at a training hospital in the Western Black Sea Region of Türkiye. Eighty pregnant women were randomly assigned to the intervention (n=40) and control (n=40) groups. Pre-test data were collected using the Participant Information Form and the Belief Scale for Normal Delivery(BSND), and post-test data were collected with BSND after the virtual delivery room visit. The Birth Adaptation Self-Assessment Scale(BASAS) and Birth Adaptation Midwife Assessment Scale(BAMAS) were administered to the intervention group.
