Educational intervention strategies as a tool to improve prenatal attachment
Resumo
Introduction: Maternal-fetal attachment is a cognitive and emotional affiliative relationship between a mother and fetus that contributes to fetal well-being. The prenatal attachment education package is an educational tool designed to enhance partner support, reduce anxiety, and improve maternal-fetal attachment. Objective: To evaluate the impact of the prenatal attachment education package on partner support, anxiety, and maternal-fetal attachment in primigravida women.
Methods: A quasi-experimental design with a non-equivalent control group approach was used. Using purposive sampling, a total of 107 participants were selected, with 53 in the intervention group and 54 in the control group. Instruments used: 1) Social Support Survey; 2) Perinatal Anxiety Scale; and 3) Maternal-Fetal Attachment Scale. Normally distributed data were analyzed using paired t-tests, independent t-tests, effect size, and path analysis.
Results: The prenatal attachment education package had a significant impact on increasing partner support, reducing anxiety, and improving maternal-fetal attachment compared to the pre-intervention condition (p < 0.05). The effect of the education package was greater than that of the standard program (p = 0.000).
Conclusion: The prenatal attachment education package has been proven to increase partner support, reduce anxiety, and enhance maternal-fetal attachment in primigravida women. It can be used as a guide in prenatal classes and as a supplement to standard maternal and child health education materials.
