Abstract: (276 Views)
Aims: Educational interventions have emerged as a promising avenue for reducing prenatal anxiety, offering a structured approach to inform and empower expectant mothers. However, previous reviews have been limited by a narrow focus and inconsistent methodologies, necessitating a comprehensive evaluation of various educational approaches. This systematic review aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of different educational interventions in reducing prenatal anxiety.
Information & Methods: A literature search was conducted involving five databases, including PubMed, Scopus, CINAHL, PsycINFO, and the Cochrane Library. Study quality and risk of bias were assessed independently by the authors using the CASP and RoB2 tools. The initial database query yielded 2,565 articles, of which only 16 studies met the inclusion criteria for data extraction and analysis.
Findings: Educational interventions, such as mindfulness-based approaches, antenatal education programs, and lifestyle-based strategies were effective in reducing prenatal anxiety. Mindfulness techniques and psychoeducation significantly improved maternal self-efficacy and emotional regulation. Antenatal education programs and lifestyle interventions reduced anxiety related to childbirth and enhanced coping strategies. Additionally, culturally tailored and digital interventions showed promise, although challenges in user engagement and interactivity were identified.
Conclusion: Diverse educational interventions effectively reduce prenatal anxiety.
