Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Pregnancy is a transitional period during which important physical, biological and psychological changes are experienced for women, and the probability of encountering factors that may cause stress, anxiety and low quality of life is high. Maternal stress in pregnancy is associated with negative birth outcomes and can be reduced with relaxation exercises. However, mindfulness-based approaches affect pregnancy outcomes positively. Data collected with the "Personal Description Form", and "The Pregnancy-related Anxiety Questionnaire-Revised 2".

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Pregnancy is a transitional period during which important physical, biological and psychological changes are experienced for women, and the probability of encountering factors that may cause stress, anxiety and low quality of life is high. Maternal stress in pregnancy is associated with negative birth outcomes and can be reduced with relaxation exercises. However, mindfulness-based approaches affect pregnancy outcomes positively. The aim of this study, which was conducted to determine the effects of mindfulness practices and deep relaxation exercises on the level of pregnancy-related anxiety, is to create intervention programs compatible with the prenatal period and to contribute to the improvement of pregnancy outcomes. First of all, a total of 111 pregnant women (37 mindfulness based stress reduction program, 37 deep relaxation exercises and 37 control) are planned to be included in the study. However, we recalculated the power analysis with a reference study after obtaining approval and before starting the study. With the calculation we made with the reference study, we determined our final sample number as 102 pregnant women (34 individuals for the mindfulness meditation group, 34 individuals for the deep relaxation exercises group, and 34 individuals for the control group). Data collected with the "Personal Description Form", and "The Pregnancy-related Anxiety Questionnaire-Revised 2". Mindfulness and deep relaxation practices was applied by midwives who are experts in their fields who are certified in these fields.
