Abstract: (298 Views)
Background and Objective: Pregnancy is known as one of the most important stages in women's lives. In addition to being very joyful for most women, this period can also be considered a stressful period. In the meantime, establishing an emotional relationship with the fetus is considered one of the important adaptive stages in dealing with pregnancy anxiety. It seems that maternal-fetal attachment behaviors differ in different cultures and religions. This study aimed to investigate the effect of training in maternal-fetal attachment behaviors based on Iranian-Islamic culture on the anxiety of pregnant women referring to comprehensive health centers in Qom.
Methods: In this semi-experimental study, 84 pregnant mothers with first pregnancy, singletons, with gestational age 30 to 34, were selected by convenience sampling and randomly assigned to two experimental and control groups. Spielberger State-Trait Inventory and Cranley Maternal-Fetal Attachment Questionnaire (MFAS) were used for the samples in two sessions before and four weeks after the intervention. In addition to routine care, the experimental group received training in maternal-fetal attachment behaviors based on Iranian-Islamic culture in 8 30-minute sessions over four weeks (two sessions per week) in an individual and face-to-face manner. Data analysis was performed using independent t-test and paired t-test in SPSSv26 software.
Results: There was no statistically significant difference in the mean anxiety score of pregnant mothers before the intervention in the two groups (P=0.67). After the intervention, there was a statistically significant difference between the mean and standard deviation of the anxiety score in the two groups (P=0.002).
Conclusion: Education on maternal-fetal attachment behaviors based on Iranian-Islamic culture reduced the anxiety of pregnant mothers. Education based on Iranian-Islamic culture provides a basis for strengthening trust and hope in God, and the mother will be more mentally and emotionally calm. It is recommended that health care providers consider this training in the care plan for pregnant mothers.
