According to the findings of the study, the perceptions of birth at home which means staying at home to give birth revealed 10 metaphors in total. The metaphors were grouped under 5 conceptual categories depending on the characteristics they had in common.
In case, it is inevitable to make policies regarding home birth services and provide a safe environment for home birth even if it is not legal. Furthermore, it is recommended to conduct qualitative and mixed-pattern studies with larger samples aiming to reveal mental images that enable multidimensional examination of home birth. This paper introduces the concept of birth at home as a powerful symbol.
