Tele-Nursing-Supported Mindfetalness: Anxiety and Prenatal Attachment

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.

The Effect of Two Different Self-Assessment Methods for Fetal Movement Monitoring on Maternal Psychosocial Status

Antenatal care is essential for a successful delivery, a healthy baby and a happy mother. The main aim of antenatal care is to take appropriate interventions to assess, protect and improve maternal and fetal health during pregnancy. There are many methods to assess fetal health during pregnancy, such as ultrasonography (USG) and non stress test (NST). Along with these methods, maternal perception and counting of fetal movements is the only method that can be easily used by the mother without the need for clinicians or equipment. When a pregnant woman begins to feel fetal movements, it is one of the first signs of fetal life and is considered an indicator of fetal well-being. Decrease or absence of fetal movements has been stated to be an important parameter in the assessment of fetal health and may be associated with the risk of intrauterine fetal death. Therefore, feeling and counting of fetal movements is the basis for the assessment of fetal health.
