Influencing factors for childbirth readiness among pregnant women based on the reciprocal determinism theory and backpropagation neural network: a cross-sectional study in China
This study innovatively used reciprocal determinism and backpropagation neural network modeling to identify key childbirth readiness factors, highlighting behavioral intention in childbirth preparation, family care, fear of birth, and information support. Integrating intrinsic motivation with extrinsic support enhances maternal readiness and provides strategies for improved antenatal care.
