Preeclampsia is a multisystem disease that occurs during pregnancy and carries risks into the postpartum period. This condition, which threatens maternal and fetal health, requires close monitoring and good care. Pregnant women need to rely on both their previously used coping mechanisms and learn new coping methods to manage the stress associated with high-risk pregnancies. Complementary and integrative therapies are utilized in managing hypertensive disorders and anxiety during pregnancy. Literature reviews show that complementary medicine practices included in current care may be effective in alleviating the symptoms of preeclampsia and reducing anxiety levels. However, the existing scientific studies are not at a sufficient level of evidence, and more advanced studies are needed in this area. The aim of our thesis study is to examine the effect of mindfulness-based stress reduction training on anxiety levels and physiological parameters in pregnant women diagnosed with preeclampsia.
