Abstract

Background: Considering the undesirable consequences of STRESS and ANXIETY in PREGNANCY and the role of midwives in providingemotional support for pregnant women, it is essential to utilize non-medical therapies, such as spiritual COUNSELING. Objectives: The present study aimed to determine the effect of spiritual COUNSELING on STRESS and ANXIETY in pregnant women. Methods: This randomized controlled clinical trial recruited 112 pregnant women presenting to the health centers in Maragheh, Iran, in 2016-17. The participants were assigned to two 56-member groups of control and intervention with a randomized blockdesign. A socio-demographic questionnaire, the perceived STRESS scale, and the Spielberger state-trait ANXIETY inventory (STAI) werecompleted before and four weeks after the intervention through interviews with participants. Results: 55 participants in the COUNSELING group and 56 in the control group were followed up and analyzed until the end of thestudy. The mean ( SD) scores of STRESS, state ANXIETY, and trait ANXIETY were 35. 4 ( 4. 5), 48. 5 ( 4. 8), and 47. 4 ( 4. 6) in the COUNSELINGgroup and 34. 8 ( 3. 6), 47. 8 ( 4. 1), and 49. 0 ( 4. 1) in the control group before the intervention, respectively. The mean ( SD) scores of STRESS, state ANXIETY, and trait ANXIETY were 34. 8 ( 3. 5), 48. 0 ( 4. 5), and 44. 7 ( 4. 0) in the COUNSELING group and 37. 8( 3. 7), 49. 7 ( 4. 2), and 46. 0 ( 3. 8) in the control group four weeks after the intervention, respectively. According to ANCOVA forcontrolling the baseline scores after the intervention, the mean scores of perceived STRESS (adjusted mean difference =-3. 4; 95% confidenceinterval =-2. 3 to-4. 4; P < 0. 001) and state ANXIETY (-2. 1;-3. 6 to-5. 5; P < 0. 001) were significantly lower in the COUNSELING group, while the two groups had no significant difference in terms of the mean scores of trait ANXIETY after the intervention. Conclusions: Spiritual COUNSELING can control perceived STRESS and state ANXIETY of pregnant women. Therefore, spiritual COUNSELINGis recommended as a complementary and effective intervention in managing the psychological problems of pregnant mothers.
