Brief Summary

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

This randomized controlled study was conducted in the pregnant outpatient clinics of a public hospital in Turkey. The sample of the study consisted of a total of 154 pregnant women (77 experiments, 77 controls). An attachment-based intervention program (ABIP) was applied to pregnant women in the experimental group. The ABIP included five interventions; (1) Perceiving/counting fetal movements, (2) Music therapy, (3) Preparation for the baby, (4) Writing notes/letters to the baby, and (5) Watching images of the fetus/pregnancy.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Experimental (ABIP group)

The ABIP was created by the researchers in line with the literature and consisted of interventions that affect and increase prenatal attachment Gölbaşı et al., 2015; Güney \& including perceiving /counting fetal movements, music therapy, preparation for the baby, writing notes/letters to the baby, watching images of the fetus/pregnancy. The program was completed in a total of five days, with one intervention per day. An ABIP kit, which contained the materials to be used by pregnant women during ABIP interventions, was provided to them by the researchers at the first meeting. ABIP intervention materials were included in the ABIP kit, using five different colored envelopes (Appendix 1). Pregnant women were also informed about the interventions and materials of ABIP by the researchers at the first meeting.
