self-compassion training
Other interventionAs a midwifery intervention, primiparous women in the experimental group were provided with mindfulness-based self-compassion training. The self-compassion training program consisted of encouraging women to be kind and understanding toward themselves, recognizing that suffering is a part of human life and that being present in the here and now contributes to the human spirit and consciousness, providing a discussion environment for sharing their experiences, and homework assignments related to the program content. The researcher conducted an eight-week mindfulness-based self-compassion training. The training program will be conducted in six sessions, using face-to-face meetings at the pregnancy school. While the duration of each session will vary depending on the women's compliance and needs, each session is planned to last approximately 30-40 minutes. The mindfulness-based self-compassion training will be implemented by the researcher. Each session will cover an introduction to self-c
Description: Wijma Childbirth Expectation/Experience Scale Version A
Wijma Childbirth Expectation/Experience Scale Version A The W-DEQ version A is a 33-item scale with six Likert-type scales. Responses are numbered from zero to five. Zero represents "completely," and five represents "not at all." The maximum possible score is 0, with a maximum score of 165. It is assumed that the level of fear of childbirth increases as the total scale score increases.
Tilburg Pregnancy Distress Scale
This scale, which can be administered to pregnant women 12 weeks or more, consists of 16 items and is scored on a 4-point Likert scale (0 points for very often, 1 point for quite often, 2 points occasionally, and 3 points for rarely/never). The total score obtained from the scale ranges from 0 to 48. A cut-off score of 28 or higher indicates that the pregnant woman is at risk for distress.
Prenatal Comfort Scale
Prenatal Comfort Scale The scale consists of 15 items and 5 subscales. The subscales are: "Impact of developing relationships with spouse on the paternal role - Spouse," "Interacting with fetal movements - Fetus," "Social support received from people around - Social Environment," "Acceptance of the maternal role and attachment to the baby - Motherhood," and "Noticing changes in oneself during pregnancy - Pregnancy." The scale is a 6-point Likert-type scale. Each item is scored from 0 to 5 (0 = Strongly disagree, 1 = Disagree, 2 = Undecided, 3 = Somewhat agree, 4 = Agree, 5 = Strongly agree). The scale is evaluated out of a total of 75 points. A lower score indicates a lower level of comfort, while a higher score indicates a higher level of comfort.
