This randomized controlled trial aimed to evaluate the effects of a mindfulness-based childbirth and parenting education program on pregnant women experiencing prenatal distress. A total of 31 participants were randomly assigned to either an intervention group, which received an 8-week mindfulness-based education, or a control group, which received standard prenatal care. The study assessed outcomes such as pregnancy-related stress, fear of childbirth, conscious awareness, maternal attachment, and postpartum adaptation.
