Time Frame
Fetal heart rate, fetal movement
Time Frame: 20 minutes
number
20 minutes
Maternal anxiety
Time Frame: 20 minutes
STAI State Anxiety Inventory The emotions and behaviors expressed in the State Anxiety Inventory (STAI TX-I) items are answered by marking one of the options such as (1) never, (2) a little, (3) a lot, (4) completely, according to the severity of such experiences. The options in the Anxiety Scale are "almost never"(1), "sometimes"(2), "often"(3), "almost always"(4). Scoring ranges from 1 to 4. In the scale, there are direct or straight and reversed statements. Direct statements indicate negative emotions, reversed statements indicate positive emotions.
