Primary outcomes

  1. Prenatal Attachment Inventory

    Time frame: immediately after participants are assigned to groups and eight weeks later

    The scale, which is a four-point Likert-type scale, consists of 21 items. A minimum of 21 and a maximum of 84 points can be obtained from the scale. The change in the score obtained by the pregnant indicates that the level of attachment also increases.

  2. Depression Anxiety Stress Scale- 21 (DASS 21)

    Time frame: immediately after participants are assigned to groups and eight weeks later

    In this scale (DASS-21), there are 7 questions each to measure the dimensions of depression, stress and anxiety. The scale is a 4-point Likert Type Scale; 0 -3. Depression, anxiety and stress scores are measured by summing the scores of the related items. A minimum of 0 and a maximum of 21 points can be obtained in each dimension.
