ClinConnect Summary
This clinical trial is studying two different training programs designed to help pregnant women prepare for motherhood: one focuses on understanding the maternal role, and the other emphasizes mindfulness through occupational therapy. The goal is to see which program better supports women during pregnancy and after childbirth. The trial is currently recruiting women who are between 18 and 35 years old, pregnant for the first time, and able to read and understand Turkish.
Participants in the study will attend training sessions and will need to commit to attending at least 80% of them. If you have a healthy pregnancy and meet the other criteria, you might be eligible to join. It's important to note that women with risky pregnancies or certain health issues, as well as those who have experienced significant trauma recently, would not be able to participate. Overall, this trial aims to provide valuable insights into how different types of support can help new mothers during a crucial time in their lives.
