Abstract :Abstract Introduction: Recently cesarean section rate has increased significantly all over the world. The information provided by the healthcare provider during pregnancy follow-up is important for the pregnant women to decide on the delivery method. In particular, information about normal birth; may help reduce rising cesarean rates by curbing fears of obscurity and widespread public rhetoric. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of the education given by the prenatal school on the delivery method preferred by the pregnant women. Methods: This descriptive study includes equal number of nulliparous pregnant women who applied to Ankara Training and Research Hospital Gynecology and Obstetrics outpatient clinic, who attended or did not attend the prenatal school between January 2020 and November 2022. The effect of education on decision making was investigated by comparing delivery methods according to the status of being educated in the pregnancy school and the primary cesarean section rate of the same number of nulliparous pregnant selected from among the uneducated pregnant women who gave birth in the same period in our clinic were compared. Results: In our study, 44 (81.5%) of the 54 nulliparous pregnant women who received education gave normal birth, while 33 (61.1%) of 54 those who did not receive education gave birth normally. A statistically significant difference was found between the two groups in terms of delivery mode (p<0.05). Conclusion: It was thought that the education given in the pregnancy school may be a factor in reducing the primary cesarean section rates.
