Abstract

Background: Self-efficacy of childbirth has an important role in increasing the ability of the mother to adapt to normal childbirth and decreasing the tendency for cesarean section. The aim of the present study was determining the self-efficacy status of normal vaginal delivery and related demographic variables in pregnant women in Lenjan City, Iran. Methods: The study population consisted of all pregnant women in Lenjan City at 20 to 37 weeks of gestation. Using simple random sampling method and considering the inclusion and exclusion criteria of the study as well as ethical considerations, 87 people were selected from Lenjan comprehensive health centers. All participants completed the Maternal Self-efficacy Questionnaire (MSQ) and demographic variables assessment questionnaire. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics as well as correlation and regression tests in SPSS software. Findings: The mean self-efficacy of normal vaginal delivery in pregnant women in Lenjan City was 101.8 with a range of 17-170, that was in the desired range. In addition, results of correlation analysis and regression analysis showed that among demographic variables, only preparation classes for childbirth could significantly explain self-efficacy of normal delivery (P < 0.001). Conclusion: The results of this study play an important role in formulating the content of special education for pregnant women and increasing their empowerment and adjustment to childbirth. © 2021, Isfahan University of Medical Sciences(IUMS).
