The study group (n = 19) received 8 days of mindfulness-based structured nursing interventions. The control group (n = 21) did not receive any intervention. Results were collected through data collection forms before the mindfulness-based structured nursing interventions, after the mindfulness-based structured nursing interventions is completed.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Anxiety was assessed using the State-Trait Anxiety Scale Change from before intervention up to after intervention, on average 1 week upon completion of the intervention. The total score obtained from both scales varies between 20 and 80. It states that 0-19 points mean no anxiety, 20-39 points mean mild, 40-59 points mean moderate, 60-79 points mean severe anxiety, and individuals with a score of 60 and above need professional help.
Depression was assessed using the Edinburgh Postnatal Despression Scale Change from before intervention up to after intervention, on average 1 week upon completion of the intervention. Each item is scored 0-3 with a maximum total score of 30. Higher scores indicate a greater severity of symptoms. The most commonly-used cut-offs are ≥ 10 to indicate minor depression and ≥ 13 to indicate major depression.
Stress was assessed using the Perceived Stress Scale Change from before intervention up to after intervention, on average 1 week upon completion of the intervention. Total scores range from 0 to 40, with higher scores indicating higher perceived stress. Scores ranging from 0-13 would be considered low stress, from 14-26 moderate stress, and from 27-40 high perceived stress.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Semi-structured Individual In-Depth Interview Questionnaire II After the intervention, on average 1 week upon completion of the intervention. Semi-structured Individual In-Depth Interview Questionnaire II was created by the researcher in order to evaulate the views and experiences of high risk pregnant women in the study group regarding intervention program.
Semi-structured Individual In-Depth Interview Questionnaire I Before the intervention, on average 1 week upon completion of the intervention.
