Summary
This study will examine whether positive affirmations used during the Non-Stress Test (NST) can help reduce pain, anxiety, fear, and stress in pregnant women. The NST is a routine test used during pregnancy to assess fetal well-being. In this randomized controlled study, 90 pregnant women will participate. Some participants will repeat affirmation statements during the NST, while others will receive standard care. Pain, anxiety, fear, and stress levels will be measured before and after the NST. The goal of the study is to understand whether affirmations can make the NST experience more comfortable for pregnant women.
