About

Background and study aims: A prospective quasi-experimental study will be conducted among nulliparous women from the ultra-orthodox Jewish community.

Study design: While the control group participated in routine childbirth education, the intervention group learned with childbirth education that included interactive and constructive cognitive engagement activities. Participants in both groups completed a set of questionnaires regarding knowledge, attitudes, and self-efficacy.

Full description

Background: Upright labor positions and movement during labor have a positive effect on childbirth, yet the predominant labor positions are still horizontal. Therefore, it is important to explore how it is possible to improve childbirth education, particularly its instructional design, to strengthen women's self-efficacy toward the use of upright positions and mobility during labor. The aim of the study was to evaluate the impact of an instructional approach based on a cognitive engagement ICAP (Interactive, Constructive, Active, Passive) framework on the development of knowledge, attitudes, and self-efficacy expectations toward upright positions and mobility during labor.

Methods: A prospective quasi-experimental study was conducted among nulliparous women from the ultra-orthodox Jewish community (n=74). While the control group (n = 34) participated in routine childbirth education, the intervention group (n = 36) learned with childbirth education that included interactive and constructive cognitive engagement activities. Participants in both groups completed a set of questionnaires regarding knowledge, attitudes, and self-efficacy.

Control group
Experimental group
Description:
The control group (n = 34) participated in routine childbirth education. The group received the same content via a childbirth class as the intervention group of five meetings (a total of 12.5 hours) given by a nurse midwife. Women in the control group received a routine instructional approach which was based on lectures, videos, discussions, and practice/rehearsals.
Treatment:
Other: Educational/Instructional
Intervention group
Experimental group
Description:
The intervention group (n= 36) learned with childbirth education that included interactive and constructive cognitive engagement activities. The intervention group received the same content as the control group (a total of 12.5 hours), however, the content regarding upright positions and mobility was instructed using the ICAP constructive-interactive engagement modes.
Treatment:
Other: Educational/Instructional
