In the three-month study, a web-based childbirth preparation program will be applied to primigravida women in the initiative group, based on the Health Belief Model and supported by motivational interviews. Training will take five weeks. Beginning from the 30th week of pregnancy, pregnant women will be asked to read the first part of the website and a suitable time will be determined for a motivational interview by calling the phone within that week. All applications of pregnant women related to the website will be evaluated. At the specified time, pregnant women will be taken to motivational interview training based on the Health Belief Model and the trainings will be carried out individually and online.
