The research will be carried out to determine the effect of mindfulness-based pregnancy education program on stress, fear of childbirth and birth self-efficacy in pregnant women. The study was designed as a randomized controlled trial. The universe of the research will consist of pregnant women who applied to Gaziantep Cengiz Gökçek Gynecology and Pediatrics Hospital Pregnancy training class. The sample of the research, on the other hand, was determined by power analysis, at least the number of individuals to be included in the sample of the research. Sample size when power analysis is done; Assuming that the method applied with 5% error level, bidirectional significance level, 95% confidence interval and 80% ability to represent the universe, would reduce the anxiety score averages (30.53±6.49) by 4 points, a total of 84 pregnant women (42 experimental, 42 control) were calculated. Introductory Information Form", "Prenatal Distress Scale (PBL)-Revised Version", "Birth Attitude Scale" and "Birth Self-Efficacy Scale short form" will be used. It is predicted that the research will contribute to the literature in line with its originality and results.
The HAPPY study is a large prospective longitudinal cohort study in which pregnant women (N≈2,500) are followed during the entire pregnancy and the whole first year postpartum. The study collects a substantial amount of psychological and biological data investigating all kinds of determinants that might interfere with general well-being during pregnancy and postpartum, with special attention to the effect of maternal mood, pregnancy-related somatic symptoms (including nausea and vomiting (NVP) and carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) symptoms), thyroid function, and human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) on pregnancy outcome of mother and foetus. The primary aim of HAPPY concerning pregnancy is to measure the prevalence and changes of biological signs and symptoms over time, with special focus on NVP and CTS. Both a psychological and a biological model will be tested to explain the variance of (severe) NVP and CTS symptoms. Also, the occurrence of maternal distress (anxiety and depression) will be assessed during different trimesters. Secondly, we will measure the changes in thyroid functioning over time during pregnancy and investigate a possible independent effect of thyroid dysfunction on foetal development as assessed by a standardized ultrasound protocol at 18-22 weeks gestation. Moreover, a possible independent effect of thyroid dysfunction on maternal mood will be investigated as well as on obstetric outcome including abnormal foetal position at term, the prevalence of preterm birth (< 37 weeks of gestation) and its possible causes such as preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM), the occurrence of pre-eclampsia and other obstetric complications. With regard to the postpartum period, the primary aim is to investigate the effect of chronic depression during pregnancy on postpartum recovery. Secondary outcome is the impact of thyroid autoimmune disease on postpartum depression. Tertiary outcome is the relation between psychological determinants and initiating and continuation of breastfeeding.
Abstract Introduction and hypothesis The goal of the study is figuring out the effect of pelvic floor muscle exercises on genito-pelvic pain levels during the postpartum period. Methods The data of the study, which was carried out in a randomized controlled experimental design, were collected in the antenatal policlinic of a public hospital between June-December 2019. There were 60 pregnant women in the experimental and control groups. Pelvic floor muscle exercises were applied to the pregnant women in the experimental group from the 30th week of gestation to the 6th postpartum week. The control group was not given pelvic floor muscle exercises training and only data collection forms were filled. During the study, the Descriptive Form, Verbal Category Scale, Pelvic Floor Distress Inventory-20, and Labour and Postpartum Information Form were applied to the pregnant women in both groups.

Studies show that pregnant women reduce their physical activity levels during pregnancy. The pandemic process causes the physical activities of pregnant women to decrease even more and causes a number of problems. This study aims to reveal effect of online Pilates exercises with a physiotherapist during the pandemic conducted on depression, anxiety and fear of childbirth levels of pregnant women. A total of 50 volunteer pregnant women, 26 online pilates group (OPG) and 24 control group (CG), who met the inclusion criteria of the study, were included in our study randomly. The OPG was given online Pilates exercises by the physiotherapist in groups 2 days a week for 8 weeks, 1 h a day. The CG was given a home program consisting of relaxation and breathing exercises. Depression levels; with the Edinburgh Postpartum Depression Scale, anxiety; with the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, fear of childbirth; with the Wijma Birth Expectation/Experience Scale version B were evaluated before and after the study by using the online questionnaire form filling method. As a result of the online pilates training, there was an improvement in the all test scores (p<0.05), while no change was observed in the control group (p>0.05). In the light of these results, 8-week online pilates training applied to gain a healthy habit during the pandemic process and increase physical activity levels of the pregnant women has been concluded to be effective in reducing the levels of depression, anxiety and fear of childbirth.
