Résumé
Background and purpose: Mental health of mothers during pregnancy has considerable effects on fetal growth and consequently on baby's future health. Therefore, using various methods to enhance the mental health of mothers will have an important role in minimizing baby's and mother's problems. The present study was conducted to determine the effect of training maternal-fetal attachment on mother's mental health
Methods and materials: This interventional study was conducted on 83 pregnant women selected through purposive sampling from among the population of pregnant women admitted to health centers, and were divided randomly into case and control groups. Data collection instruments included interview checklist, MFAS, GHQ- 28. Cases received training on maternal-Fetal attachment behavior, but controls received only the routine pregnancy care. Scores of mental health and maternal-Fetal attachment before and after training were compared across the two groups. Chi- squre, Fisher's exact test, Mann Whitney U and t-test were used for data analysis
Results: The results indicated that differences in the mean score of mental health before training across the two groups were not statistically significant [p=0.51]. However, the difference came up to be significant after training [p<0.001]. Also, differences in the mean score of maternal-Fetal attachment behavior after training were significant across the two groups [p <0.001]
Conclusion: The results indicated that training mothers on maternal-Fetal attachment behavior can enhance mother's mental-health and their attachment with the fetus
