Objective To demonstrate the effect of the health belief model on the birth preferences of an education program that is applicable, sustainable, structured by all health personnel, and evaluating the woman as a whole, based on Bandura's Social Learning Theory. Methods Our research is a controlled intervention study. Central stratified randomization was used, and each group consists of eight centers. Control and intervention groups were formed from an equal number of people, and 160 people participated in the study. The participants were given structured delivery preparation education, and breathing exercises were performed. The data of the study were evaluated using χ 2 test, and logistic regression analysis was used. A P value <0.05 was considered significant. Results Forty‐five (56.3%) of the responders in the control group and 60 (75.0%) of the responders in the intervention group had vaginal deliveries ( p = 0.013). According to the results of multiple analyses of the factors affecting the delivery method performed by the participants, women in the control group had 2.41 times (95% confidence interval 1.07–5.41) more cesarean deliveries than women in the intervention group. Conclusion It has been shown that structured delivery preparation education increases vaginal delivery rates.
