To compare the effects of nulliparous pregnant women listening to lullabies and self-selected music on reducing the anxiety and antenatal stress. This was a randomized controlled study. Lullaby group (LG) (n = 40) listened to the lullaby chosen by the researcher, mixed music group (MG) (n = 40) listened to self-selected music and control group (CG) (n = 40) received general care. Post-test anxiety and stress levels was lower in two intervention groups versus CG (p < 0.01). Post-test anxiety was lower in the MG versus LG (p < 0.01), however post-test stress levels were similar. Pregnant women listening to self-selected music at home is more effective in reducing anxiety.

Introduction: During pregnancy, sexual distress is common, but its prevalence and underlying factors require elucidation. This study was performed to investigate sexual distress in pregnant women. Methods: This research was designed as a descriptive and multi-center study. The study included 2365 pregnant women from 6 geographical regions of Turkey between April 1, 2022, and February 1, 2023. Data was collected using the “Pregnant Information Form” and “Female Sexual Distress Scale-Revised (FDS-R).” Descriptive statistics, independent sample t-test, analysis of variance, and the Pearson correlation test were used for data analysis. Results: Herein, 46.1% of pregnant women experienced sexual distress, and the mean FDS-R score of the study participants was 14.49. Participants who were dissatisfied with their sexual life before and during pregnancy (p < 0.001), those who did not have sexual intercourse during pregnancy (p < 0.001), those who experienced decreased sexual desire during pregnancy (p < 0.001), those who did not receive sexual education during pregnancy (p < 0.001), and those who experienced problems when engaging in sexual intercourse during pregnancy (p < 0.001) experienced more sexual distress. Sexual distress increased when the mean age and the number of pregnancies and children increased, whereas it decreased when the gestational week increased. Conclusions: Approximately half of the pregnant women included in the study experienced sexual distress. The findings highlight the importance of midwives and nurses encouraging pregnant women to discuss their sexuality. Policy implications: The findings of this study show that sexual distress during pregnancy is common and affected by some factors related to personal and sexual life during pregnancy. This result provides evidence of the need to develop culturally appropriate interventions and policies that include sexual partners in the context of improving pregnant women's sexual distress, sexual health, good family relationships and mental health.

Context center dot Pregnant women may experience distress as a result of physical and psychosocial changes, and this distress affects the development of maternal attachment negatively. During pregnancy care and follow-up, reducing women's pregnancy-related distress and improving maternal attachment are important. Objective center dot To compare the effects of listening to lullabies and self-selected music in reducing distress and increasing maternal attachment in pregnant women. Design center dot This study is a randomized controlled trial. It was conducted using power analysis for a type-I error rate of a = 0.05, type-II error rate of beta = 0.20, representative power of 0.64, and effect size of 0.81. Setting center dot The study took place at a secondary care hospital in a provincial center in Turkey. Participants center dot The participants were 120 pregnant women who came to the outpatient clinic for pregnancy followups between June 2021 and October 2021. Intervention center dot The participants were allocated to one of three groups, with 40 women in each. For 30 minutes every day, for two weeks, the lullaby group (LG) only listened to lullaby records at home, and the multi-music group (MG) listened to self-selected music from different records; the control group (CG) did not listen to any music. Outcome Measures center dot The Prenatal Distress Questionnaire and the Maternal Antenatal Attachment Scale were used to collect data. Results center dot Prenatal distress levels were lower in the intervention groups than in the CG (P <.01), and they were lower in the MG than in the LG (P <.05). Antenatal attachment levels were higher in the intervention groups than in the CG (P <.01), and they were higher in the LG than in the MG (P <.05). Conclusions center dot For pregnant women, listening to selfselected music was more effective in reducing distress, whereas listening to lullabies selected by the researcher was more effective in increasing attachment. ClinicalTrials.gov ID number center dot NCT05228392.
