The purpose of this study is to compare the effects of listening to lullabies and self-selected music at home in reducing the distress experienced in the prenatal period and increasing maternal attachment in pregnant women. This parallel randomized-controlled study was carried out at obstetrics outpatient clinics in Turkey. For two weeks and 30 minutes every day at home, the lullaby group (LG) only listened to the lullaby record selected by the researcher, while the multi-music group (MG) listened to self-selected music from different records presented to them by the researcher. The control group (CG) only received routine care. Prenatal distress and maternal attachment levels were assessed at the beginning and end of the intervention.
