Area of Science:

  • Maternal Health
  • Psychological Interventions
  • Stress Management

Background:

  • Pregnancy stress is linked to adverse maternal and child health outcomes.
  • Limited research exists on stress management strategies for pregnant individuals.
  • Effective interventions are needed to mitigate the negative impacts of prenatal stress.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy of cognitive-behavioral stress management (CBSM) in pregnant women.
  • To determine if CBSM can reduce perceived stress during pregnancy.

Main Methods:

  • A Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT) involving 100 pregnant women (6-8 weeks gestation).
  • Intervention group received CBSM; control group received standard prenatal care and health education.
  • Pregnancy Pressure Scale measured at baseline and 39 weeks gestation.

Main Results:

  • Pregnancy Pressure Scale scores increased in both groups over time.
  • The intervention group demonstrated significantly lower Pregnancy Pressure Scale scores compared to the control group (p < 0.01).

Conclusions:

  • Cognitive-behavioral stress management is an effective strategy for reducing stress levels in pregnant women.
  • Healthcare providers, including nurses and midwives, can implement CBSM to support pregnant women's mental health.
