Introduction: Pregnancy creates considerable changes in the physical, emotional, and well-being of women. The aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of mindfulness training on the well-being and emotional control of pregnant women, and pregnant mothers in 2019.
Materials and Methods: This study was quasi-experimental with pre-test and post-test types. The statistical population of this study was all pregnant women (n = 26) in region 1 in Tehran in 2019, and sample was purposefully selected from nulliparous pregnant women, who had been referred to the Nikan Hospital. Participants were randomly assigned to mindfulness training (n = 16) and control (n = 11). An eight-session mindfulness program was conducted at the Nikan training facility, once a week, for 90 minutes. While the control group did not receive any training. Data were collected from Reef's Welfare Scale Questionnaire (1989), and Roger & Nesshoever Emotion Control Scale (1987). As part of the analysis, SPSS 24 was used to run ANCOVA and Covariance Analysis tests.
Results: A covariance analysis test has shown that there was a difference between scores of well-being and emotional control among mindfulness training and in the control groups in the post-test phase. There was a positive effect of mindfulness training on well-being and emotional control among pregnant women (p<0.001). According to the follow-up test, the interventions continued to affect well-being and emotional control.
Conclusion: Pregnant women at risk are advised to use mindfulness training interventions as a means to improve their well-being and emotional control.
