Brief Summary

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

The study will be conducted to determine the effect of showing fetal images to high-risk pregnant women on pregnancy stress and sleep quality.

The study was conducted at Adana City Training and Research Hospital between November 2024 and May 2025 using a randomized controlled, interventional design. The sample of the study consisted of 35 intervention and 35 control group participants, totaling 70 individuals. Data were collected using the Personal Information Form, the Pregnancy Stress Rating Scale (PSRS-36) and the Richard-Campbell Sleep Scale. The intervention group was shown fetal images three times a day for two days; the control group received no intervention. The collected data were analyzed by comparing the pre-test and post-test scores. The data obtained from the study will be evaluated using SPSS IBM 24.0 package program in computer environment.

Research Hypotheses:

In the intervention and control groups; H0-1: Showing fetal images to high-risk pregnant women has no effect on pregnancy stress.

H0-2: Showing fetal images to high-risk pregnant women has no effect on sleep quality.

H1-1: Showing fetal images to high-risk pregnant women has an effect on pregnancy stress.

H1-2: Showing fetal images to high-risk pregnant women has an effect on sleep quality.
