The study will be conducted with pregnant women who meet the participation criteria and voluntarily agree to participate, and who are hospitalized in the maternity unit of Çorum Hitit University Erol Olçok Training and Research Hospital on the dates when the study is conducted.

Visual Analog Skala (VAS)

VAS was developed by Bond and Pilowsky in 1966 , and its Turkish adaptation was carried out by Aslan and Öztürk in 2014. The Visual Analog Scale is a unidimensional scale commonly used to measure pain intensity. It is a measurement tool that allows individuals to subjectively describe their pain. VAS is a ruler measuring 0-10 cm (0-100 mm) from the starting point to the endpoint. This measurement tool can be used horizontally or vertically. The scale starts with "no pain" (0) and ends with "the most severe pain imaginable" (10). Pain scores obtained from the scale indicate 'mild pain' between 0-3, 'moderate pain' between 3-6, and 'very severe pain' between 6-10.

Vaginal Birth Self-Efficacy Scale

This scale is used to measure women's perceptions of self-efficacy regarding performing vaginal birth and coping with this process. The scale can be administered to all pregnant women from the 14th week of pregnancy (the beginning of the second trimester) until delivery. The scale consists of 9 items, and for each item, there is an eleven-point Likert-type scale ranging from 0- disagree to 10- agree. The possible score range on the scale is 0-90. Higher scores indicate that the pregnant woman's self-efficacy belief regarding vaginal birth has increased.

Birth Beliefs Scale

The scale is a five-point Likert-type scale consisting of 11 items and two subdimensions. The items are presented in a mixed order and measure belief in the natural process of childbirth (DSI) and belief in the medical process of childbirth (MSI). The scale includes 5 items measuring belief in the natural process of childbirth and 6 items measuring belief in the medical process of childbirth. The minimum score that can be obtained for belief in the medical process is 6, while the maximum score is 30; for belief in the natural process, the minimum score is 5 and the maximum score is 25. The arithmetic mean is calculated by dividing the total score of the items belonging to each subdimension by the number of items in that subdimension. The subdimension with the higher numerical value resulting from the arithmetic mean represents the woman's childbirth belief. The arithmetic mean of each subdimension on the scale is evaluated within itself, and there are no items requiring reverse coding
