The Effect of a Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction Program Applied to Nulliparous Pregnant Women on Prenatal Anxiety, Fetal Health Concern, and Psychological Well-Being

Обзор

Mindfulness-based stress reduction programs are among the effective methods that can contribute to managing anxiety during pregnancy, strengthening mother-fetus interaction, and supporting psychological well-being. In this context, this study will examine the effect of a mindfulness-based stress reduction program on prenatal anxiety, fetal health concerns, and psychological well-being. The aim of this study is to determine the effect of a mindfulness-based stress reduction program applied to pregnant women who have not previously given birth on prenatal anxiety, fetal health concerns, and psychological well-being.

Подробное описание

Pregnancy is a multifaceted period in a woman's life requiring physical and mental adjustment. During this process, women, especially those experiencing their first pregnancy, may experience prenatal anxiety and fetal health concerns due to uncertainties surrounding the birthing process and fetal health. Inadequate management of this anxiety and stress can negatively impact psychological well-being. Increased anxiety levels can also affect a mother's perception of the pregnancy and her expectations regarding childbirth. This situation can pose risks to both maternal health and fetal development. Therefore, the importance of psychologically supportive and structured interventions during pregnancy is increasing. Mindfulness-based approaches help individuals recognize their emotions and thoughts without judgment and cope with stress more effectively. Accordingly, this study aims to examine the effects of a mindfulness-based stress reduction program applied to nulliparous pregnant women on prenatal anxiety, fetal health concerns, and psychological well-being.
