Pregnancy Care Digital Intervention for Maternal Anxiety in the Third Trimester (PCYCARE-RCT)

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate whether a digital self-care intervention (PCYCARE) can reduce pregnancy-related anxiety and improve biopsychosocial adaptation among third-trimester pregnant women. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Does the PCYCARE digital program reduce pregnancy-related anxiety in third-trimester pregnant women? 2. Does the intervention improve maternal knowledge, childbirth preparedness, and sleep quality? Researchers will compare participants who receive the PCYCARE digital program with those who receive routine antenatal care to determine the effectiveness of the intervention. Participants will: 1. Use the PCYCARE mobile-based program for 21 days, which includes educational modules and guided audio relaxation sessions 2. Complete two sessions per day (education and relaxation), each lasting approximately 10-15 minutes 3. Complete questionnaires at baseline and after the intervention to assess anxiety, sleep quality, maternal knowledge, and childbirth preparedness
