What this Trial Is About
Researchers are evaluating a care protocol designed to support pregnant women affected by earthquakes, aiming to see if it improves their physical and psychological health. The study highlights the challenges these women face, including difficulty accessing health services and symptoms like fear, sleep problems, depression, and trauma. It also emphasizes the importance of family support and spiritual care during pregnancy after a disaster. The study involves developing a care protocol using Stevens' Star Model to provide physical and psychosocial support to pregnant women in disaster areas. After a pilot test with a small group, a final care training manual will be created. Then, a randomized controlled study will include 86 pregnant women divided into two groups: one receiving the care protocol and one not. Participants will be assessed at several points: up to the 16th week of pregnancy, between the 36th and 38th weeks, and between the 4th and 8th weeks after giving birth. Researchers will measure physical health, psychosocial health, trauma levels, and postpartum depression. The study will monitor participants' progress across pregnancy and postpartum to determine how the care protocol affects their well-being.
