Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
1
Comparison of sociodemographic characteristics of pregnant women with premature rupture of membranes prior to intervention using questionnaires.
Sociodemographic information of pregnant women will be collected, compared, and reported through questionnaires.
Time frame
6 months2
Comparison of mean scores on the Fetal Health Concern Scale among groups of pregnant women.
The Fetal Health Concern Scale will be administered to pregnant women. The Fetal Health Concern Scale ranges from 0 to 42 points (minimum-maximum), with higher scores indicating greater fetal health concern.
Time frame
6 months3
Comparison of mean Prenatal Distress Scale scores among groups of pregnant women.
The Prenatal Distress Scale will be administered to all pregnant women. The Prenatal Distress Scale ranges from 0 to 34 points (minimum-maximum), with higher scores indicating greater prenatal distress.
Time frame
6 months4
Comparison of mean Prenatal Attachment Inventory scores among groups of pregnant women.
The Prenatal Attachment Inventory will be administered to all pregnant women. The Prenatal Attachment Inventory score ranges from 21 to 84 points (minimum-maximum), with higher scores indicating greater prenatal distress.
