Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Intervention Group
Receives Modified Mindfulness Training Program (MMTP), adapted to address cultural stressors and reduce antenatal depression.
Modified Mindfulness Training Program (MMTP)
The intervention, designed as a Modified Mindfulness Training Program (MMTP), aims to reduce antenatal depression and perceived stress among pregnant women, especially those with a preference for a male child. This program is adapted to address culturally specific stressors relevant to these women, promoting mental health and resilience during pregnancy.
The intervention is based on Nola Pender's Health Promotion Model and structured using the ADAPT-ITT framework, which includes Assessment, Decision, Adaptation, Production, Topical Experts, Integration, Training, and Testing phases. This phased approach ensures cultural relevance and feasibility within the target population of pregnant women in Pakistan.
Duration and Frequency: The intervention consists of six weekly sessions, each lasting two hours, held in a serene, controlled environment within a seminar room at Sindh Govt. Qatar Hospital, Karachi.
Control Group
Receives standard antenatal care without mindfulness intervention.
No interventions assigned to this group
