First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looked at whether giving women hospitalized for preterm labor a booklet about prematurity, along with a talk from a pediatrician, lowers their anxiety compared to just the talk alone. 65 women participated, and their anxiety was measured before and after the information session. The goal is to find better ways to support expectant mothers in a stressful situation.
