Detailed Description
The aim of this study is to determine the effect of breath awareness meditation (BAM) on vital signs, health profile and fetal heart rate in pregnant women with preeclampsia.
Sample size:
-
There will be two groups in the study.
-
Experiment group is breath awareness meditation group.
-
The sample size of the study is 66 women.
-
The sample size will be divided into two and 33 women will be randomly assigned to each group.
Randomization:
-
The randomisation method will be done by envelope method.
-
33 pieces of BAM, and 33 pieces of control papers will be placed in closed opaque envelopes and mixed in a bag.
-
Mothers will be asked to choose one envelope from the bag before the application.
-
The information in the envelope will not be told to the mothers. Assignment to groups will be determined in this way.
Application time:
-
The application will be started after the pregnant woman diagnosed with pre-eclampsia is admitted to the Perinatology service.
-
It will be applied three times in total, once every eight hours during the 24 hours that the pregnant woman is hospitalised in the ward.
-
Each application session will last 30 minutes.
-
Only breath awareness meditation (BAM) will not be applied to the control group.
-
Care and follow-up will be performed in parallel with the individuals in the experimental group.
Data Collection Tools:
-
Descriptive Information Form
-
Nottingham Health Profile Scale
Measurement time:
-
Pregnant women will fill in the Introductory Information Form before the first application.
-
Each session of breath awareness meditation practice will last 30 minutes.
-
Pregnant women will fill the Nottingham Health Profile Scale immediately before and after each application.
-
Vital signs and fetal heart rate will be measured immediately before and after each procedure.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Nottingham Health Profile Scale [immediately before application]
Nottingham Health Profile Scale; The scale consists of 38 questions and 6 sub-dimensions. The scale consists of 8 questions on physical activity (PA), 8 questions on pain (P), 5 questions on sleep (S), 3 questions on energy level (EL), 9 questions on emotional reactions (ER), 5 questions on social isolation (SI). Questions are answered as 'yes' or 'no', item score calculations in each sub-dimension differ, the best score that can be obtained from each sub-dimension is '0' and the worst score is '100'. The minimum score that can be obtained from the whole scale is 0 and the maximum score is 600. Quality of life improves as the score decreases.
