description Objective: The aim of this study was to examine the views of future midwives on the ideal birth environment. Methods: A total of 297 students studying in the midwifery department participated in this descriptive study. Data were collected face-to-face between November and December 2023 using the “Opinion Form on Ideal Birth Environment” developed by the researchers. Descriptive and Pearson-χ2 test statistics were used in the analysis. Results: The mean age of the students in the study was 20.26±1.87 years. It was found that 75.8% of the students thought that the design of the delivery unit affected women's satisfaction with childbirth, 72.7% thought that it affected the fear of childbirth, and 73.7% thought that the design of the delivery unit affected the motivation of health professionals. In the current study, it was determined that the students who were in the birth environment, took childbirth classes and had information about the ideal birth environment thought that the ideal birth environment was effective on women's birth style, fear of childbirth and birth satisfaction. Conclusion: It is seen that most of the students in the study think that the birth environment has an impact on women's birth experiences and that these thoughts are related to receiving information on this subject. It is ideal for future midwives to gain knowledge and awareness about the birth environment in order to improve their own practices and to better support women during the birth process.
