Overview

Randomized controlled trial improved mental health and reduced stress in primiparous women, suggesting antenatal education is beneficial.

Key Points

  • The program improved mental health scores in participants, validated by the Wijma Delivery Expectancy/Experience Questionnaire.
  • Participants received 90-minute antenatal education sessions over six weeks, focusing on childbirth education.
  • The findings support routine implementation of antenatal education as a standard in prenatal care practices.
