Short-Term Mindfulness Intervention for Anxiety and Maternal Attachment in NICU Mothers

This randomized controlled study aims to evaluate the effects of a short-term mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) program on anxiety levels and maternal attachment in mothers whose infants are admitted to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). A total of 33 mothers will be recruited and assigned to intervention and control groups. The intervention group will receive a structured four-session mindfulness program, while the control group will receive standard care. Data will be collected using the Maternal Attachment Scale and the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory. The findings are expected to provide evidence on the effectiveness of mindfulness-based interventions in reducing anxiety and improving maternal-infant bonding during the postpartum period.
