Women's childbirth is regarded as a natural, normal and healthy process, and no interventional measures are required unless medically necessary. However, the proportion of routine induction of labor among Taiwanese women is currently on the rise. This study intends to use the medical-patient shared decision-making program for induction of labor to explore the impact of this program on the delivery efficiency, anxiety, delivery results, and delivery satisfaction of first-time pregnant women. In addition, we also want to explore the feelings and thoughts of this group of women who underwent induced labor under the Shared Medical Decision-Making Program in the postpartum period after participating in this program. It can be used as an improvement reference for the future implementation of shared decision-making between doctors and clients. This research adopts a qualitative and quantitative mixed research method to conduct this research. The quantitative research will adopt an experimental research design. Those who meet the criteria will be randomly assigned to collect the experimental group and the control group. In addition to receiving general routine care, the experimental group also receive a shared decision-making plan for delaying admission to the hospital. The control group received regular care. The results of measurement include knowledge about birth scale, anxiety scale, birth outcomes and birth satisfaction scale. The qualitative study is the application of one-to-one and in-depth interviews and semi-structured interview guidelines will be used to collect data, and the application of content analysis to analyze the data.
