Overview

Quasi-experimental study shows reduced anxiety and improved pregnancy outcomes in primigravida women, indicating the value of PMR therapy.

Key Points

  • PMR therapy significantly reduced anxiety and stress in primigravida women, leading to better pregnancy outcomes.
  • The intervention group demonstrated a noteworthy decrease in anxiety and stress (p < 0.001), while the control group experienced an increase.
  • The study involved 288 primigravida women, with half receiving PMR therapy alongside routine care over six weeks.
  • Integration of PMR therapy into antenatal care is recommended to enhance maternal well-being and tackle adverse neonatal outcomes.
