| dc.description.abstract | Objective: Migration often has the most significant negative health consequences for women and children. This study aimed to examine the impact of an antenatal education program provided to Syrian pregnant women who migrated to Turkey on their level of knowledge about women’s health. Method: This quasi-experimental study included 437 refugee and migrant pregnant women who participated in a prenatal education class, forming the study’s population. The sample comprised 298 participants (68.2%). Data were collected using a socio-demograp hic and obstetric information form and a questionnaire to assess knowledge levels. Results: There was a significant increase in the knowledge levels of pregnant women after the training compared to before. Prior to the training, the participants already had relatively higher knowled ge levels regarding breastfeeding, family planning, and infant care. However, their knowledge about childbirth processes was the least informed. Conclusion: Prenatal education programs provided to refugee and migrant women are effective. While knowledge levels regarding fa mily planning, breastfeeding, and infant care are satisfactory, furt her research is needed to explore their attitudes and behaviors.
