Birth is an important period that affects a woman's life physically, psychologically and socially. Although this experience can bring joy, it can also be accompanied by anxiety and fear. Fear of birth is affected by people's past traumatic birth experiences, lack of information, and the transfer of birth experiences experienced by individuals . Birth stories are one of the most accessible and frequently used tools for women to learn about birth. These stories are seen to affect women's fears of birth and their birth preferences .The World Health Organization (WHO) has emphasized the importance of education given during pregnancy in reducing a positive birth experience and fear of birth. . Advances in technology have made podcasts, videos, and mobile phone applications (apps) widely used in training. As a result of these trainings, behavioral changes are observed in people. It has been reported that being supported by midwives during pregnancy and encouraging birth as a positive experience reduces the fear of birth . Therefore, sharing positive birth stories in pregnancy schools and antenatal care is of great importance. However, it is thought that using podcast stories and sharing women's positive birth experiences together will reduce fear during birth and increase vaginal birth. Therefore, in this study, a podcast of stories that pregnant women can listen to again whenever they want, including positive birth experiences, was prepared. This study aimed to determine the effects of potcost stories on fear, pain, satisfaction and birth outcomes related to birth. We aim for the findings and results of the study to contribute to the midwifery and nursing care literature.
This study will evaluate the effects of Potcost Stories on fear, pain, experiences and delivery type related to birth.
