      ab: Objective: The aim of the study is to determine the opinions of students studying at the faculty of health sciences on spousal support during pregnancy and delivery. Method: The population of the study, which was planned as a descriptive cross-sectional, consisted of health sciences faculty students, and the sample consisted of 302 nursing-midwifery 1st and 4th grade students who were willing to participate in the study. The data collection form used in the study conducted between 5-9 March 2018 was developed in line with the literature. The data were evaluated with an appropriate statistical program. Results: The average age of the students participating in the study is 20.43 ± 1.89, 97.7% of them are single and 81.8% of them have nuclear family structure. 86.4% of the students stated that they want to be with their spouse in labor, 76.5% in the delivery room, 90.7% of them stated that birth preparation courses are necessary, 85.8% of them want to attend the birth preparation course with their spouses. When the reasons for female/male students to want their spouses are examined, it was determined as supporting, giving morale (48.7%/54.3%), not wanting to be alone/being with them at all times (11.9%/11.4%). 57.1% of the men stated that they could not bear when they saw their partner in pain. It was observed that the class and gender of the students did not affect their preference to be with them in the delivery room (p> 0.05), but the department they studied did (p<0.05). Most of the students stated that they would like to attend preparatory courses for information purposes. It has been determined that class, department and gender differences affect the necessity and participation status of preparatory courses (p<0.05). Conclusion: According to the results of the study, it was determined that most of the students wanted to be with their spouses in this process, they deem necessary and want to attend the birth preparation courses. Statistically significant differences were found between midwifery and nursing students. This is thought to be due to the midwifery students' knowing the pregnancy and delivery processes better.
