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
