Abstract

In this study, we develop Mindfulness for Pregnant Women (MPW) Program which aims to enhance psychological and physical well-being of pregnant women who are vulnerable to stress, anxiety and negative affect but limited to pharmacist treatment. We present the result of a pilot study of n=22 pregnant women participating in MPW for 10 weeks. We compare and analyse the difference between the experimental group of 22 pregnant women who participate in MPW and the control group of 22 pregnant women who does not participate in MPW. We work out the difference between the two groups by using such measures as SCL-90-R, BDI, STAI, PANAS and K-MAAS, prior to and immediately after 10-week MPW program training. The results are as follows. First, the experimental group shows its significant decreases in obsessive symptoms and depressive symptoms in SCL-90-R(Symptom Checklist-90-Revised), while the control group does not. Second, the experimental group shows its significant decreases in depression in BDI(Beck Depression Inventory), while the control group does not. Third, in STAI(State-Trait Anxiety Inventory) there is not any significant difference between the two groups with regard to state anxiety, but trait anxiety is significantly decreased among the experimental group, not among the control group. Fourth, the experimental group, in comparison to the control group shows its significant decreases in negative affects in PANAS(the Positive and. Negative Affect Scale). Fifth, the experimental group, in comparison to the control group shows its significant increases in attentive self-awareness in K-MAAS(Korean Mindful Attention Awareness Scale). In short, MPW program helps pregnant women to lessen depression, trait anxiety, obsessive symptoms and negative affection, but, on the other hand, to promote attentive self-awareness. MPW could be utilized as a useful tool to promote psychological well-being of pregnant women and their attentive awareness. In the end, we suggest the future research will focus on MPW's effects on birth outcomes, child development outcomes.
