Participants in the intervention group will attend an 8-week MBSR program, while the control group will receive no intervention. Data will be collected using validated scales before and after the intervention. The primary outcomes are changes in birth memory and traumatic birth perception scores.
详细描述
This study is a pretest-posttest control group experimental design conducted to determine the effects of a Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) program on birth memory and the perception of traumatic birth. The population of the study will consist of women who have had a vaginal delivery and received postpartum care at Malatya Training and Research Hospital between July and October 2025. The sample will include 80 women, with 40 in the experimental group and 40 in the control group. The intervention group will participate in an 8-week MBSR program, which includes weekly 60-90 minute sessions-first face-to-face and the rest conducted online. The program content will cover mindful breathing, body awareness, stress and emotion regulation, and interpersonal mindfulness.
Data will be collected using the Mindfulness Scale, the Birth Memory and Recall Scale, and the Traumatic Birth Perception Scale. Pre-test data will be collected during the initial hospital visit, and post-test data will be collected at the end of the 8-week program. No intervention will be applied to the control group. Statistical analyses will include descriptive statistics, independent samples t-tests, and paired samples t-tests.
