H1: Prenatal genetic counseling service; have an effect on the anxiety levels experienced by pregnant women.
Second Hypothesis Set; H0: Prenatal genetic counseling service; It has no effect on the attitudes of pregnant women towards screening and diagnostic tests.
H1: Prenatal genetic counseling service; It has an effect on the attitudes of pregnant women towards screening and diagnostic tests.
Third Hypothesis Set; H0: There is no relationship between the anxiety experienced by pregnant women and their attitudes towards screening and diagnostic tests.

Detailed Description
In the study, it was aimed to determine the relationship between the effect of prenatal genetic counseling service on the anxiety levels of pregnant women and their attitudes towards prenatal diagnostic tests, and the anxiety levels of pregnant women and their attitudes towards prenatal diagnostic tests.
Pregnant women who applied to Adana City Hospital Medical Genetics Outpatient Clinic for prenatal diagnosis and met the research criteria and volunteered to participate in the study will be randomly assigned to the study and control groups according to the block randomization method in order to eliminate the selection bias according to the outpatient clinic list and to ensure the balance in the number of individuals between the groups.
In the study, there will be two groups, the study and the control, selected by randomization. Pregnant women who meet the research criteria will be informed about the research in the Medical Genetics outpatient clinic. Informed (voluntary) consent forms will be signed by the pregnant women who accept to participate in the study.
A data collection form will be applied to all pregnant women participating in the study. Before prenatal genetic counseling is given to the pregnant women in the study group, a data collection form will be applied. Prenatal genetic counseling will then be given. In this consultancy, after giving information about what the diagnostic tests are and their purpose, specific consultancy will be given to the proposed invasive test. When she comes to get genetic results, the data collection form will be applied again by making an individual interview with the pregnant woman. The result of the diagnosis test of the pregnant and the decision to continue or terminate the pregnancy will be recorded in the data collection form. Families who are diagnosed with a disease that threatens the life of the fetus or is incompatible with life will be counseled to receive perinatal palliative care. During this period, they will be guided to communicate with health professionals who can get support and they will be supported to make applications for their spiritual needs. In all these stages, care will be provided to the pregnant with a multidisciplinary approach.
In the study, routine clinical information will be given to the pregnant women in the control group by the physician. Before the clinical information and when they come to get genetic results, the data collection form will be applied again by making an individual interview with the pregnant woman.

Participant Group / Arm |
Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Experimental (counselling) group
Experimental (counseling) group Prenatal genetic counseling is a consultancy service that covers the evaluation of the risk status of the baby in the mother's womb for diseases, the tests that can be done for the diagnosis of the disease, test results and presentation.A data collection form will be applied to all pregnant women between the ages of 18-49 who applied to the medical genetics polyclinic between September and November 2022 and wished to participate in the study.
Prenatal genetic counseling will then be given.
When it comes to obtaining genetic results, an individual interview will be made with the pregnant woman and the data collection form will be applied again.
In the study, routine clinical information will be given to the pregnant women in the control group by the physician.
Before the clinical information and when they come to get genetic results, the data collection form will be applied again by making an individual interview with the pregnant woman.

Primary Outcome Measures

Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Spielberg State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI I-II)
Time Frame: Data collection form will be applied again before the counseling and when the pregnant woman comes to receive the genetic result (within about 2 weeks).
|
The Spielberg state-trait anxiety inventory (STAI I-II) was developed by Spielberg et al. to determine the state and trait anxiety levels of individuals separately. STAI I and II are two separate scales, each consisting of 20 items, with a total of 40 questions. These two scales assess the individual's state and trait anxiety. The total score obtained from each scale can vary between 20 and 80. A large score indicates a high level of anxiety and a small score indicates a low level of anxiety. The Cronbach's alpha value was found to be between 0.83 and 0.87 for the state anxiety scale, and between 0.94 and 0.96 for the trait anxiety scale. |
Data collection form will be applied again before the counseling and when the pregnant woman comes to receive the genetic result (within about 2 weeks).
|
Prenatal Screening and Diagnostic Test Attitude Assessment Scale
Time Frame: Data collection form will be applied again before the counseling and when the pregnant woman comes to receive the genetic result (within about 2 weeks).
|
It is a 4-question scale created by Martetau et al. to evaluate the thoughts of pregnant women about their participation in prenatal diagnosis and screening tests.
In the original of the scale, the statements were evaluated over 7 points.
It is a good idea (7 points), bad idea (1 point); useful (7 points), not useful (1 point); harmful (1 point), not harmful (7 points); a bad idea (1 point), not a bad idea (7 points) were asked to rate between 1 and 7 points.
One point represents a negative attitude, while 7 points represents a highly positive attitude. .
The highest score to be obtained from this scale is 28, and the lowest score is 4. The cronbach alpha value of the original scale was found to be 0.83.
