The Effect of Virtual Delivery Room Visit on Birth Belief and Adaptation

The real-time labour room demonstration video aims to increase participants' awareness of the labour process, reduce unfamiliarity, and facilitate participation for pregnant women with access restrictions. Produced with a 360-degree camera, it shows detailed sections of the labour room, starting from the entrance. Key areas like birthing beds, toilets, bathrooms, and labour materials (mats, pilates balls, TVs) are highlighted. The video also covers baby cots and rest areas for attendants. Narrated by an experienced midwife, the video ensures patient privacy, no interventions, and excludes images or sounds of other pregnant women. Converted to 360-degree format, the video is available on YouTube for repeated viewing. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EyCt-jTDCVs)

Pregnant women in the control group did not receive any intervention other than routine care and counselling.
