| description | Background:
Pregnancy-induced hypertension (PIH) negatively affects the antepartum quality of life, necessitating complementary interventions to improve maternal well-being. This study evaluates the effectiveness of guided imagery therapy in enhancing the quality of life among women with PIH.
Objectives:
To assess the impact of guided imagery therapy on antepartum quality of life in women diagnosed with PIH.
Methods:
A quasi-experimental study was conducted with 60 participants assigned to either a study group (n=30) receiving guided imagery therapy or a control group (n=30) receiving standard care. Quality of life was measured using a validated scale before and after the intervention.
Results:
The study group showed a significant improvement in quality-of-life scores compared to the control group, indicating the positive effect of guided imagery therapy.
Conclusion:
Guided imagery therapy effectively enhances antepartum quality of life in women with PIH, supporting its integration as a complementary intervention in maternal care. |
