Summary

This study tested a mobile app called PCYCARE in 120 first-time pregnant women in their third trimester. The app provides educational modules and guided relaxation sessions over 21 days. Researchers measured changes in anxiety, sleep quality, and childbirth preparedness compared to routine care. The goal is to see if a simple digital tool can help women feel calmer and more prepared for childbirth.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: PCYCARE Digital Self-Care Program (a mobile app with educational modules and guided audio relaxation)
What this could lead to: If it works, this could offer a simple, low-cost way for pregnant women to manage anxiety and improve sleep without medication.
What could go wrong: This is a small, completed trial with 120 participants, so results may not apply to all pregnant women. The app's benefits may be modest and need confirmation in larger studies.
