简要总结
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.
详细描述
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.

研究组 & 干预措施
Intervention group
Pregnant women will be informed about the study and, after obtaining their written consent, pre-tests will be administered (Perinatal Anxiety Screening Scale, Fetal Health Anxiety Scale, Psychological Well-Being Scale). Then, women in the intervention group will receive a Mindfulness-based stress reduction program for 4 weeks, with two sessions per week. Four weeks after the pre-tests, post-tests (Perinatal Anxiety Screening Scale, Fetal Health Anxiety Scale, Psychological Well-being Scale) will be administered to women in both the intervention and control groups.
干预措施: Intervention group (Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction Program) (Behavioral)
Control group
Pregnant women will be informed about the study and, after obtaining their written consent, pre-tests will be administered (Perinatal Anxiety Screening Scale, Fetal Health Anxiety Scale, Psychological Well-Being Scale). The control group will receive no intervention. Four weeks after the pre-tests, post-tests (Perinatal Anxiety Screening Scale, Fetal Health Anxiety Scale, Psychological Well-being Scale) will be administered to women in both the intervention and control groups.

结局指标
主要结局
Perinatal Anxiety Screening Scale
时间窗: 4 week
The Turkish validity and reliability study of the scale was conducted by Yazıcı et al. (2018). The scale consists of a total of 31 items and is a four-point Likert-type measurement tool. Items are scored with response options ranging from "never" to "always". Total scores above 16 indicate the presence of perinatal anxiety. As a result of the exploratory factor analysis, it was determined that the scale consists of four sub-dimensions. These sub-dimensions include: general anxiety and specific fears, perfectionism and control, social anxiety, general anxiety and adjustment difficulties, and acute anxiety, separation, and trauma. In the reliability analyses of the scale, Cronbach's alpha internal consistency coefficients were reported as 0.90, 0.89, 0.86, and 0.87 for the sub-dimensions, respectively.
Fetal Health Anxiety Scale
时间窗: 4 week
The validity and reliability study of the Turkish Fetal Health Anxiety Inventory was conducted by Gökbulut et al. (2024). This inventory aims to assess the anxiety levels experienced by pregnant women regarding the health of the fetus. The FSKE consists of 14 items in total, each containing four different statements to reflect the experiences of pregnant women. Scores obtained from the scale range from 0 to 42, with a higher total score indicating a higher level of fetal health anxiety. When the psychometric properties of the Turkish form of the scale were examined, it was observed that the internal consistency reliability was reported as Cronbach's alpha coefficient of 0.85.
Psychological Well-Being Scale
时间窗: 4 week
The Turkish adaptation of the scale was carried out by Telef (2013). The scale items have a seven-point Likert-type structure ranging from "strongly disagree" (1) to "strongly agree" (7). All statements in the scale are positively structured. The total scores that can be obtained from the scale range from 8 if all items are answered with "strongly disagree", and from 56 if all items are answered with "strongly agree". Higher scores indicate that the individual has higher levels of psychological resources and strengths. As a result of the reliability analyses of the scale, the Cronbach alpha internal consistency coefficient was determined as 0.80.
