Summary

This study tests whether a mindfulness training program can reduce depression, anxiety, and stress in pregnant women who did not plan or want their pregnancy but chose to continue it. Researchers will randomly assign 68 women in Turkey to either the mindfulness training or a control group. The training includes breathing exercises and compassion meditations over several sessions. The goal is to see if it improves self-compassion and self-acceptance.
