Material and Method: The research was conducted between November 2020 and December 2021. In the study, 84 midwives and nurses working in AKDH delivery and puerperal services and FHCs in Adıyaman province constituted the experimental group, and the control group of 84 midwives and nurses working in the delivery room and postpartum services of MEAH Child and Gynecology Hospital in Malatya and FHC's, determined by randomization in the study. While the training program for the prevention of obstetric violence consisting of 16 sessions was applied by the researcher to the midwives and nurses in the experimental group, no intervention was applied to the midwives and nurses in the control group. The second phase of the study was conducted with women who received care from the AKDH delivery and postpartum services and FHCs in Adıyaman province before and after the training program applied to the midwives and nurses in the experimental group (158 women before the training, 158 after the training). Data were collected with Introductory Information Forms, BDI-30, IBDÖ and Care Satisfaction Evaluation Form. Results: After the training, it was determined that the mean of care behaviors and communication skills of the midwives and nurses in the experimental group increased significantly and the difference between the groups was statistically significant (p<0.001). In addition, it was determined that the care perceptions and satisfaction score averages of women who received post-training care applied to midwives and nurses increased significantly and the difference between the groups was statistically significant (p<0.001). Conclusion: The results of the research showed that the obstetric violence prevention training program given to midwives and nurses increased the communication skills and care perceptions of midwives and nurses, and increased the care perception and satisfaction of women who received care.
