Özet:

The research was carried out in order to study the effect of the course "Generation and Parental Preparation" on birth fear and traumatic birth perception in the final class of nursing students. Research is a single-group intervention research with the last test pattern. The examples of the study were made by 62 girls who studied in the 4th grade of the University’s nursing department in İzmir and took the course “Preparation for Birth and Parentality”. The data of the study was collected with the Demographic Information Form, Pregnancy Fear Scale and Traumatic Birth Perception Scale. Students are subjected to a preliminary test with data collection forms in the first week of the course at the beginning of the semester. During a semester, the researcher processed 2 hours a week, 16 weeks of classes related to students. At the end of the period, the data collection forms were reapplicated to students as the final test. The study found that the average age of students was 22.3±0.7. When asked what method they wanted to do their births, 67.7% said they wanted to do normal births and 21.1% said they wanted to do normal births with epidural anesthesia. The scale scale score of pre-educational students "Pre-gravity birth fear" is 41,7±8,3 and post-educational is 37,7±9,4 and the difference between them is statistically meaningful. The pre-traumatic birth perception scale is the average score of 70.2±22.6 and the post-traumatic score of 61.7±25.9 and the difference is statistically meaningful. Research has shown that the pregnancy and parental preparation course reduces students' birth fears to their traumatic birth perceptions.
