Abstract

Pregnancy is a major transitional phase involving physical and psychological changes, which often trigger anxiety in expectant mothers. Unresolved anxiety can lead to complications such as preeclampsia, low birth weight (LBW), impaired fetal development, and postpartum depression. Mindfulness-based prenatal yoga serves as a non-pharmacological intervention combining physical exercise with mindfulness. There is a need to better introduce prenatal yoga and to investigate the integration of mindfulness; furthermore, the use of modern measurement methods remains rare in regional areas, warranting further study. This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of mindfulness-based prenatal yoga on anxiety in pregnant women. Methods: A quasi-experimental design with a pretest-posttest control group approach was employed. Thirty pregnant women were divided into an intervention group (n=15) and a control group (n=15). Anxiety levels were measured using the HARS and PRAQ-R2 scales before and after the intervention. Within-group changes were analyzed using the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test. Results: No significant changes in anxiety scores were observed in the control group based on either HARS (p=0.054) or PRAQ (p=0.150). Conversely, the intervention group showed significant changes in anxiety scores based on both HARS (p=0.001) and PRAQ (p=0.001). Conclusion: Mindfulness-based prenatal yoga demonstrates potential for reducing anxiety in pregnant women and can be implemented in maternal health services, particularly as a non-pharmacological intervention within antenatal care
