| Summary: | Introduction: The aim of this study is to explore the birth perceptions and satisfaction levels of primiparous women who delivered vaginally in a public hospital.Methods: The study was conducted with a descriptive and cross-sectional design and was carried out with 160 primiparous women admitted to the delivery room. Data were collected using the Participant Information Form, the Birth Satisfaction Scale, and the Mother's Perception of Birth Scale. The data has been analyzed using numbers, percentages, and averages, as well as One-Way ANOVA, T-Test, and Tukey's test.Results: It was determined that 77.5% of the participants had planned pregnancies, and 96.9% had assisted birth. The mean score for the Birth Satisfaction Scale was 30.89±5.90, and the mean score for the Perception of Birth Scale (POBS) was 85.18±12.18. Significant differences were observed in the Mother's Perception of Birth Scale and Birth Satisfaction Scale scores based on educational level and whether the pregnancy was planned. However, no significant relationship was found between the two scales and factors such as age, employment status, and social security coverage.Conclusion: The findings of the study indicate that, during the birth process, women's perceptions of birth and birth satisfaction levels were generally high. |
