Brief Summary

Aim: This study was aimed to evaluate the effect of antenatal education based on improving health literacy on the adaptation of pregnancy, general self-efficacy, fear of childbirth, and health literacy in primiparous pregnant women. Design: It was a randomized controlled trial. Method: The research was carried out in a city located in the Marmara region of Turkey between July 2018 and April 2019. It was conducted with three groups, including one control (n=73) and two intervention groups (n=109). One of the intervention group was given antenatal education based on improving health literacy (n=53), and the other was only provided with antenatal education (n=56). Pregnancy Information Form, Prenatal Self-Evaluation Questionnaire, Pregnancy Related Anxiety Scale, General Self-Efficacy Scale, and Health Literacy-TR32 scale were used for data collection.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

• Prenatal Self-Evaluation Questionnaire (PSEQ)

  The scale was developed by Lederman et al. in 1979 to evaluate the adaptation of women to pregnancy and birth in the prenatal period (Lederman \& Weis, 2009). The scale is a four-point Likert type consisting of seven subscales and 79 items. The highest score that can be obtained from the scale is 316 and the lowest one is 79. The Turkish validity and reliability of the scale was made by Beydağ and Mete (Cronbach's alpha=.83) (Beydağ \& Mete, 2008).Two subscales of "acceptance of pregnancy" and "defining the role of maternity" were used for the research. Values that can be taken as an acceptance of pregnancy are between 14-56. Values that can be taken as the acceptance of the role of maternity are 15-60. A low score indicates that the mother's adaptation is better.

• Fear of Childbirth and The Postpartum Period Scale

  The scale was developed by Kitapçıoğlu et al in 2008 to evaluate the concerns about delivery and postpartum period. It is a five-point Likert-type scale. Scale includes 61 question items, and they are scored between 0-10 (Cronbach's alpha=.95). Decrease in the scale mean score shows that the concerns about childbirth are decreasing (Kitapçıoğlu et al., 2008).

  five weeks

• General Self-Efficacy Scale

  An original 23-item form was developed by Sherer et al (Sherer et al., 1982). The validity and reliability of the Turkish version was made by Yıldırım and İlhan, and a scale of 17 questions was created. The scale's total score ranges from 17 to 85 (Cronbach alpha=.80). The increase in the score shows that the belief in self-efficacy has increased (Yildirim \& Ilhan, 2010).
