主要结局
Evaluation of the level of well-being
时间窗: Seven day after the first interview, WHO-5 Well-Being IndexI was applied to all pregnant women in all three groups as a post-test.
WHO-5 Well-Being Index was applied to determine the pwell-being level of the pregnant women. In order to determine mental well-being, the scale, which consists of 5 questions in total, is of 6-point Likert type, varying between "never", "sometimes", "less than half of the time", "more than half of the time" and "always". The raw score is calculated by adding the numbers of the five answers, and the resulting score ranges from zero to 25. Zero represents the worst possible quality of life and 25 the best possible quality of life.
Determining the level of anxiety
时间窗: One hour after the third measurement, SUE was applied to all pregnant women in all three groups.
In order to determine the anxiety level of the pregnant women, SUE was applied. SUE is used to determine the intensity of the person's emotion at the beginning and end of therapy. The scale is scored between -10 and +10, with negative numbers for negative/unpleasant experiences and positive numbers for positive/pleasant experiences.
Evaluation of the level of cortisol
时间窗: Seven day after the first interview, saliva samples were taken from all pregnant women in all three groups as a post-test.
Saliva samples were taken from pregnant women to determine the cortisol level. Saliva sample collection materials consist of 1.5 ml saliva collection tube (ependorf tube) and sips to facilitate the salivation process. The pregnant women were informed about the procedure to be followed and the saliva collection process was explained by the researcher. For salivary cortisol analysis, 96-well microplates were covered with cortisol-BSA at +4 C overnight and blocked with 200 µl BSA (1%) at 37 °C for 2 hours. Saliva samples were thawed before adding to microplates and centrifuged at 4000g for 10 minutes. The plates were incubated for 45 minutes at 37 °C and washed 5 times with washing solution. When the blue color occurred, the plates were read by the plate-reader spectrophotometer. Calibration curves were created using 4-parameter logistic regression curves and cortisol levels were measured using this curve.
Evaluation of the level of psychological development
时间窗: Seven day after the first interview, PTGI was applied to all pregnant women in all three groups as a post-test.
PTGI (Post Traumatic Growth Inventory) was applied to determine the psychological development level of the pregnant women. PTGI is a 21-item Likert-type scale developed to evaluate positive changes after trauma and is scored between 0 and 5. The lowest score that can be obtained from the scale is 0, and the highest score is 105. A high score indicates that the person has experienced a high level of growth after the traumatic experience.
