The aim of this study is to examine the effect of midwife-led motivational interviewing during pregnancy on couples' stress and alexithymia levels.
This study aims to evaluate the effect of midwife-led motivational interviewing during pregnancy on couples' stress coping skills and levels of alexithymia. Designed as a randomized controlled trial, the study includes healthy pregnant women in their second trimester and their partners. The intervention group receives midwife-led motivational interviewing, while the control group receives routine care. Data are collected using the Demographic Information Form, the Coping Styles Scale, and the Toronto Alexithymia Scale. The study results will determine whether midwife-led motivational interviews are an effective intervention for supporting psychological well-being during pregnancy through a couple-centered approach.
