Abstract

Introduction: Pregnancy is a significant transitional life experience that can also be one of the most stressful experiences in life. This study aims to discover how healthcare providers view childbirth education classes. Method: An interpretative phenomenological qualitative approach was conducted in three governmental hospitals in the eastern province of Saudi Arabia. A purposive sample of 10 healthcare providers who work in obstetrics and gynecology were interviewed face to face. Semi-structured interviews were employed, recorded, and transcribed. Findings: One theme and six sub-themes were derived from the data analysis of the interviews. Conclusion: The study findings indicate that childbirth education programs boost maternal health and facilitate a more positive delivery experience.
