This study aimed to determine women's birth beliefs and examine their associated factors. Design/methodology/approach – This cross-sectional study was conducted with 548 primiparas in the obstetrics clinic of a university hospital located in the Southeastern Anatolian Region of Turkey from February to June 2019.
