Sample: The convenience sample encompassed all nurses within the obstetric departments and a purposive sample of 100 pregnant mothers was chosen. Tools: An interviewing questionnaire for the pregnant mothers, an assessment tool for the maternity nurses, and an observation checklist for birth outcomes. Results: After the clinical pathway application, 75% of the maternity nurses possessed commendable levels of knowledge and performance. Additionally, a noteworthy improvement was observed in the maternal and neonatal outcomes in relation to the duration of the initial phase of labor, the duration of the subsequent phase of labor, and the average APGAR score was 9.76±0.83 for the study group and 9.72±0.79 for the control group.
