• Interventions: Other: Placebo; Other: 3D printed model

• Registration Number: NCT04540458
• Lead Sponsor: Creighton University

Brief Summary

To determine whether 3D models of fetus' face created from 3D ultrasound will increase maternal and paternal attachment, lower stress, anxiety and depression and have improved life-style choices during pregnancy. Half of participants will receive 3D model and half will receive a picture of 3D ultrasound of their baby.

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
Placebo	Placebo	Mother or Mother/Father is given printed picture of 3D ultrasound of fetus
3D printed model	3D printed model	Mother or Mother/Father is given 3D printed model of fetus' face

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Maternal depression	3 minutes	9-question Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) will be administered
Maternal Antenatal Attachment Scale (MAAS)	5 minutes	The MAAS is a 19 item questionnaire measuring maternal-fetal attachment. Each item has five answer choices scored from 1 low attachment to 5 high attachment such that the total score ranges from 19 to 95. The measure also includes two subscales: (1) Quality of Attachment has 10 items with a range of 10-50 and measures the quality of the mother's attachment to her fetus. (2) Time measures the time spent in attachment mode (or intensity of preoccupation) and consists of 8 items for a range of 8 to 40. (for clarity one item included in the total score is not included in either subscale.)
Paternal Antenatal Attachment Scale (PAAS)	5 minutes	The PAAS is a 16 item questionnaire measuring paternal-fetal attachment. Each item has five answer choices scored from 1 low attachment to 5 high attachment such that the total score ranges from 19 to 95. The measure also includes two subscales: (1) Quality of Attachment has 10 items with a range of 10-50 and measures the quality of the mother's attachment to her fetus. (2) Time measures the time spent in attachment mode (or intensity of preoccupation) and consists of 8 items for a range of 8 to 40. (for clarity one item included in the total score is not included in either subscale.)
Maternal anxiety	3 minutes	7-question Generalized Anxiety Disorder questionnaire (GAD-7) will be administered
Paternal depression	3 minutes	9-question Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) will be administered
Paternal anxiety	3 minutes	7-question Generalized Anxiety Disorder questionnaire (GAD-7) will be administered
Maternal stress	3 minutes	11-question Pregnancy-Related Anxiety Questionnaire-Revised (PRAQ-R2) will be administered.
