Detailed Description
Introduction:

Despite the World Health Organization's recommendation that cesarean section rates should ideally be between 10-15%, this limit has already been exceeded in many countries. Globally, cesarean birth rates have increased significantly over the last few decades. While the overall cesarean rate was around 5-7% in the 1980s, it had risen to 21-23% by the 2000s. In countries such as Turkey, cesarean rates ex...

Participant Group/ArmIntervention/Treatment
ExperimentalHaptonomy Intervention
Participants receive four sessions of haptonomy during pregnancy.
Haptonomy
Pregnant participants will receive a four-session haptonomy intervention, each lasting approximately 45 minutes. The sessions aim to enhance body awareness, reduce childbirth-related anxiety, and support birth self-efficacy. The intervention includes breathing exercises, relaxation techniques, and activities promoting maternal-fetal interaction.
No InterventionControl
Participants receive routine prenatal care without additional intervention

Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome MeasureMeasure DescriptionTime Frame
The sociodemographic characteristics of the participants and their homogeneous distribution according to the experimental and control groups
Pregnancy Introductory Form: The pregnancy introductory form, developed based on the literature, was designed to evaluate the demographic and obstetric characteristics of individuals during pregnancy, their birth preferences, fears, social support status, and similar factors. The form consists of a total of 15 questions.
baseline
Body Functionality Appreciation Scale:
This unidimensional 7-item scale measures individuals' appreciation of their body's functionality. It evaluates psychological aspects such as body functionality awareness, body positivity, and body acceptance. The scale is scored on a 5-point Likert scale (1=Strongly disagree, 5=Strongly agree), with total scores ranging from 7 to 35. Higher scores indicate a greater level of appreciation and respect for what one's body can do. The Turkish adaptation reported a Cronbach's alpha of 0.83.
12 weeks
Birth Self-Efficacy Inventory:
This inventory measures self-efficacy levels during labor. It consists of two subscales: outcome expectancy (OE) and efficacy expectancy (EE), each containing 16 items. Total scores range from 32 to 320. Responses are rated on a 1-10 Likert scale. In the OE subscale, 1 means "not at all useful" and 10 means "very useful." In the first 13 items of the EE subscale, 1 means "completely sure" and 10 means "not at all sure," while items 14-16 are scored in reverse: 1 means "not at all sure" and 10 means "completely sure." Items 1-13 of the EE subscale are reverse-scored. The overall Cronbach's alpha reliability coefficient of the inventory is 0.82.
