Eficacia del Programa de Apoyo Basado en la Web Basado en el Modelo de Promoción de la Salud en Mujeres Embarazadas...

The study was conducted to determine the effect of a web-based support program based on the Health Promotion Model (HPM) on healthy lifestyle behaviors, self-efficacy, and prenatal distress in pregnant women with preeclampsia. The study was conducted with 82 pregnant women diagnosed with preeclampsia, 41 of whom were in the web-based support group and 41 in the control group. Participant introduction form, Healthy Lifestyle Behaviors Scale-II (HLBS-II), Self-Efficacy Scale (SES), Prenatal Distress Scale (PDS), pregnant women's self-monitoring form, and postpartum assessment form were used for data collection. The increase in the total scores of the HLBS-II and the SES and the decrease in the total score of the PDS was found to be statistically significant in the pregnant women in the web support-based group after the web support. The HPM-based web-based support program improved healthy lifestyle behaviors and self-efficacy and reduced prenatal stress levels of pregnant women with preeclampsia but did not contribute to neonatal outcomes. SIGNIFICANCE: Pregnant women diagnosed with preeclampsia often face heightened physiological and psychological challenges. This study demonstrates that a web-based support program structured around the Health Promotion Model (HPM) significantly improves healthy lifestyle behaviors and self-efficacy while reducing prenatal distress in this high-risk population. These findings suggest that digital health interventions are effective, accessible tools for enhancing maternal well-being. By integrating such platforms into standard obstetric care, healthcare providers can offer continuous, evidence-based support that empowers patients to manage their condition more effectively outside of clinical settings.
