Multımedia Information Before Amniocentesıs And Chorion Villus Sampling

It is known that the anxiety levels of pregnant women are high before amniocentesis and chorionic villus sampling and it is often neglected. The aim of this study is to examine the effects of multimedia information given before invasive prenatal diagnostic tests such as amniocentesis and chorionic villus sampling on the anxiety, pain, stress and fear levels of pregnant women. Pregnant women who are planned to undergo amniocentesis and chorionic villus sampling are included in this prospective randomized controlled study. 90 pregnant women are randomized into two groups as study (n=45) and control group (n=45). Pregnant women in the study group are educated with multimedia information before amniocentesis and chorionic villus sampling. Pregnant women in the control group are given brief verbal information about the procedure before amniocentesis and chorionic villus sampling. Anxiety, pain, stress and fear levels are assessed immediately before multimedia information and after amniocentesis and chorionic villus sampling.
