Study Details

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.
