It involved 12 pregnant women who participated in online prenatal education provided by public health centers in Chuncheon, Korea. Data collection was achieved through in-depth interviews conducted in Korea from October 2021 to April 2022.Results: In total, 51 significant statements were extracted from the interview data and then categorized into 10 themes. Finally, three categories were formed by merging similar themes. The three basic categories of participants\u2019 experiences of online prenatal education were \u201cfeeling of safety and comfort in body and mind,\u201d \u201cfrustrated by a lack of interaction,\u201d and \u201cdigital education being a double-edged sword.\u201d Pregnant women expressed ambivalence regarding the benefits and drawbacks of the online educational experience. They desired more interactive and practical learning opportunities, even as they appreciated the comfort of learning remotely.Conclusion: This study revealed the phenomenon of online prenatal education as an advanced form of distance-based prenatal education instead of the traditional in-person classroom. To maximize the educational effectiveness of this new format, public health center policies must address the digital literacy gap and enhance accessibility by leveraging the immersive multimedia experiences that online education offers to pregnant women. We recommend that maternal healthcare providers adopt this innovative approach to prenatal education, utilizing distance education technology to improve participation and promote immersion.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4069\/whn.2024.09.09","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,9,30]],"date-time":"2024-09-30T06:10:08Z","timestamp":1727676608000},"page":"192-202","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.4069\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Pregnant women\u2019s experiences of online prenatal education in Korea during COVID-19: a phenomenological study"],"prefix":"10.4069","volume":"30","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2782-108X","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Hyun Kyoung","family":"Kim","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2254-1962","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Geum Hee","family":"Jeong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0793-8718","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Hye Young","family":"Min","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"2522","reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/scs.12346"},{"key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4069\/kjwhn.2022.02.25"},{"key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.childyouth.2021.106079"},{"key":"ref4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/s12884-022-04602-5"},{"key":"ref5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2196\/42497"},{"key":"ref6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3390\/app13095682"},{"key":"ref7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1891\/1058-1243.25.4.232"},{"key":"ref8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/jan.15957"},{"key":"ref9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2196\/46910"},{"key":"ref10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.midw.2020.102687"},{"key":"ref11","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.midw.2022.103457"},{"key":"ref12","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.midw.2018.11.015"},{"key":"ref13","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0272613"},{"key":"ref14","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/02646838.2021.1921716"},{"key":"ref15","first-page":"6","volume-title":"","author":"Colaizzi","year":"1978"},{"key":"ref16","volume-title":"","author":"Creswell","year":"2015"},{"key":"ref17","volume-title":"","author":"Lee","year":"2018"},{"key":"ref18","first-page":"643","volume-title":"Colaizzi\u2019s descriptive phenomenological method","author":"Morrow","year":"2015"},{"key":"ref19","first-page":"54","volume-title":"Users of the healthtalk.org breastfeeding webpages;
