Pregnant women who meet the research criteria will be informed about the research in the Medical Genetics outpatient clinic. Informed (voluntary) consent forms will be signed by the pregnant women who accept to participate in the study.

When she comes to get genetic results, the data collection form will be applied again by making an individual interview with the pregnant woman. The result of the diagnosis test of the pregnant and the decision to continue or terminate the pregnancy will be recorded in the data collection form. Families who are diagnosed with a disease that threatens the life of the fetus or is incompatible with life will be counseled to receive perinatal palliative care. During this period, they will be guided to communicate with health professionals who can get support and they will be supported to make applications for their spiritual needs. In all these stages, care will be provided to the pregnant with a multidisciplinary approach.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Spielberg State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI I-II) The Spielberg state-trait anxiety inventory (STAI I-II) was developed by Spielberg et al. to determine the state and trait anxiety levels of individuals separately. STAI I and II are two separate scales, each consisting of 20 items, with a total of 40 questions. These two scales assess the individual's state and trait anxiety.
The total score obtained from each scale can vary between 20 and 80. A large score indicates a high level of anxiety and a small score indicates a low level of anxiety. The Cronbach's alpha value was found to be between 0.83 and 0.87 for the state anxiety scale, and between 0.94 and 0.96 for the trait anxiety scale.
Data collection form will be applied again before the counseling and when the pregnant woman comes to receive the genetic result (within about 2 weeks).
Primary Prenatal Screening and Diagnostic Test Attitude Assessment Scale It is a 4-question scale created by Martetau et al. to evaluate the thoughts of pregnant women about their participation in prenatal diagnosis and screening tests. In the original of the scale, the statements were evaluated over 7 points. It is a good idea (7 points), bad idea (1 point); useful (7 points), not useful (1 point); harmful (1 point), not harmful (7 points); a bad idea (1 point), not a bad idea (7 points) were asked to rate between 1 and 7 points. One point represents a negative attitude, while 7 points represents a highly positive attitude. . The highest score to be obtained from this scale is 28, and the lowest score is 4. The cronbach alpha value of the original scale was found to be 0.83. Data collection form will be applied again before the counseling and when the pregnant woman comes to receive the genetic result (within about 2 weeks).
