The pregnant woman was placed in the right lateral position on the patient bed. Her head was supported by a medium-height pillow. The right arm to be measured was held at heart level and extended at a 45° angle to the body. Considering that taking measurements from the left arm above heart level could lower blood pressure values, both measurements were made only from the right arm.

The pregnant patient was lying in the left lateral position on her bed, her head supported by a pillow of medium height. The left arm to be measured was positioned at heart level and supported by a pillow underneath. Blood pressure was measured using the arm extended at a 45° angle to the body in the left lateral position. Considering that taking measurements from the right arm above heart level may lower blood pressure values, both measurements were taken from the left arm only.

The pregnant woman was laid on her back at a 45° angle on the patient bed. Her head was supported with a medium-height pillow. The arm to be measured was held at heart level and supported with a pillow underneath to provide the appropriate position.

Participants rested for 10 minutes in a fully seated position, leaning their backs on a chair, without crossing their legs and placing their feet parallel to the floor. During this time, the arm to be measured was kept at heart level.

The effect of blood pressure measurement in different positions on diastolic and systolic blood pressure values in pregnant women diagnosed with preeclampsia will be examined. Measurement will be made with a blood pressure device. Systolic pressure and diastolic pressure will be measured in mmhg.

The effects of blood pressure measurement in different positions on anxiety levels in pregnant women diagnosed with preeclampsia will be measured. The anxiety level will be measured with the state anxiety scale. The score obtained from the scale varies between 20 and 80. A high score indicates a high level of anxiety, a low score indicates a low level of anxiety. The same applies when interpreting scores according to percentile rank. In other words, a low percentile rank (1, 5, 10) indicates low anxiety. The average score level determined in applications varies between 36 and 41.
