Anxiety Clinical Trial

Official title: State Anxiety Levels of Pregnant Women Who Were Given or Not Given Information About the Fetus With Ultrasound Images During Detailed Ultrasound: A Randomized Controlled Study

Status Not yet recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

The aim of the study is to determine the state anxiety levels of the pregnant women who were given and not given information about the fetus with USG images during the detailed ultrasound (USG) and to compare them in both groups. This research is in the design of pre-test-post-test applied and randomized controlled research. Dependent variables: State anxiety levels Independent variables: Being informed during ultrasound Control variables: Socio-demographic variables and obstetric variables.

Clinical Trial Description

The research population will be composed of pregnant women who applied to the perinatology polyclinic of the Fırat University Hospital, Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology for detailed USG. The sample size was calculated using the G*Power V. 3.1.9.7 program. According to the results of 95% confidence (1-α), 95% test power (1-β), d=0.72 effect size and two-way independent samples t test power analysis, 51 in each group, a total of at least 102 people were sampled. was calculated (Ekrami et al., 2019).

Randomization

Pregnant women who are suitable for the sample selection criteria, using the Random Integer Generator method under Numbers sub-title from Random.org, for the numbers distributed in 2 columns consisting of 1-102 numbers.

Which column would be the experiment and which column would be the control was determined by drawing lots.

Pre-test-Post-test application

Before starting the detailed USG examination for the experimental group, Personal Information Form and State-Anxiety Inventory (DCI) will be filled. While informing about the fetus during the USG examination, the pregnant woman will be informed by using the physical images of the fetus (hand, arm, face, heartbeat, information about the internal organs, etc.) using the USG screen. After the USG is completed, the State-Anxiety Inventory (DCI) will be filled again as a final test. In the control group, the Personal Information Form and State-Anxiety Inventory (DCI) will be filled before the USG procedure, and only the State-Anxiety Inventory (DCI) after the USG procedure. After the data collection process is completed, the pregnant woman will be informed about the USG results. ;
