Earthquake, Pregnant Women, Support
Conditions
Brief summary
It was designed as a randomized controlled experimental study to determine whether the care protocol planned for pregnant women in the disaster area positively affects their physical and psychological health.
Detailed description
The results of this study suggest that spousal and family support has a positive impact on psychosocial health during pregnancy for women who become pregnant after an earthquake. It was determined that participants had difficulties in accessing health services and exhibited symptoms of fear, sleep disorders, depression and trauma. However, pregnancy, even if unplanned, was considered a hope for a new beginning for many women after a devastating earthquake. The study also emphasizes the importance of pregnant women's need for spiritual care, support and especially attention during this process. In summary, comprehensive mental health support will play a critical role in improving the well-being of earthquake-affected pregnant women.
Interventions
BEHAVIORALpositively affects the physical and psychological health of pregnant women in the disaster area.
As time passes after the earthquake, psychological first aid services are not sufficient. Developing a care protocol to provide physical and psychosocial support to pregnant women who are earthquake victims, especially those in the vulnerable group, during the post-disaster disappointment period (months 2-36), is an important unique value of this project.
