Aim: The aim of this project was to examine the effects of haptonomy application and the mindfulness-based stress reduction program (MBSRP) on the psychological well-being levels, perceived stress, and fear of childbirth in primiparous women. Materials and Methods: This prospective, single-blind, randomized controlled study was conducted between January 1, 2024, and October 1, 2024. A total of 120 primiparous women (40: control group, 40: haptonomy group, and 40: MBSRP group) who volunteered to participate in the study were randomly assigned to three groups: the intervention group (haptonomy and MBSRP) and the control group. The haptonomy and MBSRP groups received individual and face-to-face interventions for 8 weeks. At baseline, the 4th week, and the 8th week, the "Personal Data Collection Form," "Psychological Well-Being Scale," "Perceived Stress Scale," and "Wijma Delivery Expectancy/Experience Questionnaire (W-DEQ/A) A version" were administered, based on a literature review.
