This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a psychosocial support intervention for women diagnosed with fetal anomaly. A randomized controlled trial design will be used, and women diagnosed with fetal anomaly will be included as participants. The intervention group will receive a structured psychosocial support program, while the control group will receive routine care.
Providing psychosocial support to pregnant women to maintain their psychosocial health plays a facilitating role in helping them acquire the knowledge and skills necessary to cope with the difficulties they encounter, facilitating their functional adaptation and improving their quality of life. In the presence of a foetus with a diagnosis of anomaly risk during pregnancy, it becomes even more important for pregnant women to receive psychosocial support to protect their mental and physical health.
The main objective of this project is to examine the effectiveness of online psychosocial support provided to pregnant women with foetuses at risk of anomaly during their pregnancy. In line with this main objective, the psychosocial support needs of pregnant women with a risk of foetal abnormalities will first be determined using a qualitative research design. Subsequently, the effectiveness of the online psychosocial support developed in line with these needs will be objectively demonstrated in pregnant women with a risk of foetal abnormalities using a randomised controlled research design and measurement tools.

| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Level of depression, anxiety and stress | It will be measured using the "Depression-Anxiety-Stress Scale". This scale is a 4-point Likert-type scale with responses ranging from '0 = never' to '3 = always' and consists of seven questions measuring 'depression, stress and anxiety dimensions'. | Pre-test data: before the 20th week of pregnancy Post-test data: after a 6-week intervention Follow-up data: 4 weeks after the post-test Second follow-up data: 6 weeks after the birth |
| Level of prenatal attachment | It will be measured using the "Prenatal Attachment Inventory". The scale, which consists of 21 items, was developed to describe the thoughts, feelings, and situations experienced by women during pregnancy and to determine their level of attachment to their baby during the prenatal period. Each item is scored on a four-point Likert scale ranging from 1 to 4. A score of at least 21 and a maximum of 84 can be obtained from the scale. An increase in the score obtained by the pregnant woman indicates an increase in the level of attachment. The items are scored as follows: 1: Never, 2: Sometimes, 3: Often, 4: Always. | Pre-test data: before the 20th week of pregnancy Post-test data: after a 6-week intervention Follow-up data: 4 weeks after the post-test |
| Level of maternal attachment | "The Maternal Attachment Scale" will be used to measure maternal attachment. Each item is a 26-item, four-point Likert-type scale ranging from 'always' to 'never.' Each item contains direct statements and is scored as follows: Always = 4, Often = 3, Sometimes = 2, and Never = 1. A total score is obtained from the sum of all items. A high score indicates a high level of maternal attachment. The lowest possible score from the scale is 26, and the highest is 104. A high score on the scale indicates a high level of maternal attachment. | 6 weeks after the birth |
