Effects of Awareness-based Parenting and Birth Preparation Education Given to Couples on Materna-paternal Bonding, Birthparameters and Postpartum Harmony

Nurses, who play a key role in maternal and infant health, take action with evidence-based practices to reduce fear of childbirth, encourage natural birth, and improve negative pre-pregnancy, pregnancy, and post-pregnancy outcomes caused by fear.Considering the increasing rates of elective cesarean sections in developed countries, interventions against fear of childbirth have become more important. The negative effects of cesarean section on both maternal and infant health and the damage it causes to the health system due to increased costs are clear . For all these reasons, the inclusion of awareness-based interventions such as MBCP in childbirth preparation class education programs not only aims to reduce the increasing cesarean section rates, but also aims to provide awareness that women and their partners can benefit from not only during pregnancy, birth, and parenthood, but throughout their lives.
