The Effect of Prenatal Yoga-Assisted Birth Preparation Training on Fear of Childbirth and Childbirth Self-Efficacy

Birth preparation training is based on Albert Bandura's self-efficacy theory. It is a 60-minute training once a week. The first 10 minutes of the training are devoted to the initial activity, 40 minutes to sharing the training content, and 10 minutes to answering the participants' questions and receiving feedback. The training will be conducted in closed groups via the online meeting program (Zoom®).
