Participants in this group will:

• Complete the baseline assessments (pre-test) prior to the intervention.
• Receive a standardized training session on the Mindfetalness method.
• Be provided with a compliance tracking chart to monitor their daily practice.
• Perform the Mindfetalness application daily for 15 minutes throughout the intervention period.
• Submit photographs of their compliance tracking charts to the researchers at week 4 and week 8 to document to the method.
• Undergo follow-up measurements at week 4 and week 8 to evaluate the ongoing effects of the intervention.
• Following the completion of the research, participants who volunteered for the qualitative phase will be identified, and randomly selected individuals from this volunteer pool will be invited to participate in the interviews to ensure diverse perspectives.

Participants in this group will:

• Complete the baseline assessments prior to the intervention.
• Receive a standardized training session on the Mindfetalness method.
• Be provided with a compliance tracking chart to monitor their daily practice.
• Perform the Mindfetalness application daily for 15 minutes throughout the intervention period.
• Receive weekly SMS reminders throughout the study to encourage consistent practice and maintain motivation for the Mindfetalness method.
• Participate in tele-nursing consultation calls during the 2nd and 6th weeks of the intervention to receive guidance, address concerns, and obtain emotional support regarding the method.
• Submit photographs of their compliance tracking charts to the researchers at week 4 and week 8 to document to the method.
• Undergo follow-up measurements at week 4 and 8 to evaluate the ongoing effects of the intervention.
• Post-intervention, random interviews will be conducted with volunteer participants to gain deeper insights.

The intervention involves the Mindfetalness method, a subjective practice focused on sensing the quality of fetal movements rather than numerical counting. All participants receive a single, face-to-face training session and are instructed to practice the method for 15 minutes daily throughout the 8-week study period. Adherence is monitored via a daily compliance tracking chart, with photos of the logs submitted to researchers at weeks 4 and 8. Tele-nursing-supported uniquely receives additional tele-nursing support, consisting of weekly motivational SMS reminders and two structured phone consultations (at weeks 2 and 6) to provide professional guidance and emotional support, ensuring the method is applied correctly and addressing participants' concerns.

It will be used to assess maternal state anxiety levels. Each item is rated on a 4-point Likert scale ranging from 1 (not at all) to 4 (very much so). The total score ranges from 20 to 80, with higher scores indicating higher levels of state anxiety. In the Turkish adaptation of the scale, the Cronbach's alpha reliability coefficient was reported as 0.94.

It will be used to assess maternal trait anxiety levels. Each item is rated on a 4-point Likert scale ranging from 1 (not at all) to 4 (very much so). The total score ranges from 20 to 80, with higher scores indicating higher levels of trait anxiety. In the Turkish adaptation of the scale, the Cronbach's alpha reliability coefficient was reported as 0.83.

It will be used to assess the level of attachment between pregnant women and their babies. The inventory is a four-point Likert-type scale, with each item scored on a scale of 1 to 4, and consists of a total of 21 items. The total score ranges from 21 to 84, with higher scores indicating higher levels of prenatal attachment. The Crohnbach's alpha consistent for the Turkish version of the scale is 0.84.

To ensure protocol fidelity and correct application, a researcher-developed adherence log was utilized, featuring detailed Mindfetalness guidelines on the reverse side. The log includes designated fields for recording the date and time of each session, along with checkboxes for 28 consecutive days of practice. Following the initial training, participants are provided with two copies of the log.
