Tele-Nursing-Supported Mindfetalness: Anxiety and Prenatal Attachment

Recruiting now · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Tele-nursing, Fetal Movement

In brief

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the effects of tele-nursing-supported Mindfetalness method versus Mindfetalness alone method on maternal anxiety and prenatal attachment in pregnant women. The main questions it aims to answer are: * H1: Tele-nursing-supported Mindfetalness method will significantly reduce state anxiety (STAI-S) levels in pregnant women over time compared to Mindfetalness alone method. * H2: Tele-nursing-supported Mindfetalness method will significantly reduce trait anxiety (STAI-T) levels in pregnant women over time compared to Mindfetalness alone method. * H3: Tele-nursing-supported Mindfetalness method will significantly increase prenatal attachment (PAI) levels in pregnant women over time compared to Mindfetalness alone method. Researches will compare tele-nursing-supported Mindfetalness to Mindfetalness alone to see if tele-nursing support significiantly reduces state and trait anxiety levels and significiantly increases prenatal attachment levels in pregnant women over time. Participants will; * Attend a single, face-to-face Mindfetalness training session at the beginning of the study to learn technique and application procedures correctly. * Practice Mindfetalness method daily for 15 minutes throughout the 8-week study period. * Complete a daily compliance tracking chart to record their adherence to the Mindfetalness method of their practice. * Complete the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) and the Prenatal Attachment Inventory (PAI) at baseline and during 4th and 8th-week follow-up measurements to track changes over time.
