About this study
Official title: Effect of Pecha Kucha-Based Normal Birth Education on Birth Beliefs and Mode of Birth Preferences Among Pregnant Women Considering Elective Cesarean Section: A Randomized Controlled Trial
This randomized controlled trial was conducted to evaluate the effect of Pecha Kucha-based normal birth education on birth beliefs and mode of birth preferences among primiparous pregnant women considering elective cesarean section without a medical indication. A total of 76 pregnant women between 28 and 32 weeks of gestation were randomly assigned to either an experimental group or a control group. The experimental group received normal birth education using the Pecha Kucha presentation technique, whereas the control group received the same educational content through a traditional face-to-face oral presentation. Birth beliefs and birth mode preferences were assessed before the intervention, immediately after the intervention, and one month after the intervention. The study aimed to determine whether a brief, structured, and visually supported educational intervention could improve beliefs regarding normal birth and increase preference for vaginal delivery among women considering elective cesarean section.
Read the detailed description
Background Cesarean section rates have increased substantially worldwide and represent an important public health concern. In addition to medical indications, maternal preference has emerged as a contributing factor to elective cesarean section. Women's beliefs about childbirth are known to influence their delivery preferences. Belief in birth as a natural process is associated with viewing childbirth as a normal and safe physiological event, whereas belief in birth as a medical process is associated with perceiving childbirth as potentially dangerous and requiring medical intervention. Prenatal education provided by healthcare professionals may influence these beliefs and subsequently affect women's birth preferences.
Pecha Kucha is a structured presentation technique consisting of 20 slides displayed for 20 seconds each, resulting in a total presentation time of 6 minutes and 40 seconds. The method emphasizes concise communication through visual materials and has been reported to facilitate attention, comprehension, and retention of information. Although the Pecha Kucha technique has been used in various health education settings, evidence regarding its effectiveness in antenatal education is limited.
Objective The objective of this study was to determine the effect of Pecha Kucha-based normal birth education on birth beliefs and mode of birth preferences among pregnant women considering elective cesarean section.
Study Design This study was conducted as a single-blind, randomized controlled trial between March 2025 and June 2025 in Family Health Centers affiliated with a district Health Directorate in southern Türkiye. Participants were randomly assigned to either an experimental group or a control group using a simple randomization method. Women who met the eligibility criteria were allocated by drawing numbered papers from a box.
Participants The study included primiparous pregnant women who were at least 20 years of age, between 28 and 32 weeks of gestation, considering elective cesarean section without a medical indication, able to read and speak Turkish, and willing to participate. Women with maternal or fetal conditions requiring cesarean delivery and those who did not meet the inclusion criteria were excluded. A total of 76 participants completed the study, including 38 women in the experimental group and 38 women in the control group.
Interventions Both groups received education based on the Ministry of Health's Motherhood Journey Guide. Educational content included preparation for childbirth, birth planning, physiology and stages of labor, maternal and fetal changes during childbirth, coping with labor pain, breathing and relaxation techniques, movement and positioning during labor, benefits of vaginal birth, indications and risks of cesarean section, management of childbirth-related fears and anxieties, partner and family support, skin-to-skin contact, breastfeeding initiation, postpartum care, and common misconceptions regarding childbirth.
Participants in the experimental group received the educational content through the Pecha Kucha presentation technique. The presentation consisted of 20 visually supported slides presented for 20 seconds each. Participants in the control group received the same content through a conventional face-to-face oral presentation. Following the educational sessions, participants were given the opportunity to ask questions and receive feedback.
Outcome Assessment Data were collected at three time points: before the intervention (baseline), immediately after the intervention, and one month after the intervention. Outcome measures included the Birth Beliefs Scale and the Pregnant Women's Birth Mode Preferences Scale. The Birth Beliefs Scale evaluated beliefs regarding childbirth as a natural process and as a medical process. The Pregnant Women's Birth Mode Preferences Scale assessed preferences regarding vaginal birth and cesarean delivery.
Study Hypothesis The investigators hypothesized that normal birth education delivered through the Pecha Kucha technique would increase belief in childbirth as a natural process, decrease belief in childbirth as a medical process, and strengthen preferences for vaginal birth among pregnant women considering elective cesarean section.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Pecha Kucha-Based Normal Birth EducationBehavioural
A structured face-to-face educational intervention delivered using the Pecha Kucha presentation format consisting of 20 slides displayed for 20 seconds each. The intervention was designed to provide evidence-based information about normal birth and cesarean section through concise, visually supported content.
Traditional Normal Birth EducationBehavioural
Face-to-face education delivered using a conventional oral presentation method. The educational content was identical to that provided in the experimental group but was delivered without the Pecha Kucha presentation format.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Pecha Kucha-Based Normal Birth Education | Experimental | Pregnant women received normal birth education delivered using the Pecha Kucha presentation technique. The education consisted of 20 visually supported slides presented for 20 seconds each and included information on preparation for childbirth, birth planning, physiology and stages of labor, coping with labor pain, breathing and relaxation techniques, benefits of vaginal birth, indications and risks of cesarean section, partner support, breastfeeding initiation, postpartum care, and common misconceptions about childbirth. Participants completed outcome assessments at baseline, immediately after the intervention, and one month after the intervention. Receives: Behavioral: Pecha Kucha-Based Normal Birth Education |
| Traditional Normal Birth Education | Active comparator | Pregnant women received the same normal birth educational content through a conventional face-to-face oral presentation. Educational topics were identical to those provided in the experimental group. Outcome assessments were completed at baseline, immediately after the intervention, and one month after the intervention. Receives: Behavioral: Traditional Normal Birth Education |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Change in Birth Beliefs Scale - Natural Process Belief Subscale Score
The Natural Process Belief subscale of the Birth Beliefs Scale assesses the extent to which pregnant women perceive childbirth as a natural, normal, and safe physiological process. Higher scores indicate stronger belief in childbirth as a natural process.
Measured: Baseline, immediately after the intervention, and 1 month after the intervention.
Change in Birth Beliefs Scale - Medical Process Belief Subscale Score
The Medical Process Belief subscale of the Birth Beliefs Scale assesses the extent to which pregnant women perceive childbirth as a medical event requiring professional control and medical intervention. Higher scores indicate stronger belief in childbirth as a medical process.
Measured: Baseline, immediately after the intervention, and 1 month after the intervention.
Change in Pregnant Women's Birth Mode Preferences Scale Score
The Pregnant Women's Birth Mode Preferences Scale evaluates pregnant women's preferences regarding vaginal birth and cesarean delivery. Total scores range from 18 to 90, with higher scores indicating a stronger preference for vaginal birth.
Measured: Baseline, immediately after the intervention, and 1 month after the intervention.

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
This randomized controlled trial was conducted to evaluate the effect of Pecha Kucha-based normal birth education on birth beliefs and mode of birth preferences among primiparous pregnant women considering elective cesarean section without a medical indication. A total of 76 pregnant women between 28 and 32 weeks of gestation were randomly assigned to either an experimental group or a control group. The experimental group received normal birth education using the Pecha Kucha presentation technique, whereas the control group received the same educational content through a traditional face-to-face oral presentation. Birth beliefs and birth mode preferences were assessed before the intervention, immediately after the intervention, and one month after the intervention. The study aimed to determine whether a brief, structured, and visually supported educational intervention could improve beliefs regarding normal birth and increase preference for vaginal delivery among women considering elective cesarean section.
