Objective: This research was conducted to identify the effect of the practice of Guided Imagery on the perceived stress level in high-risk pregnancies.
Methods: The study was designed as a prospective, randomized, and single-blind study. The research was performed with the participation of a total of 128 women (64 in the experimental group, 64 in the control group) who had high-risk pregnancies between February-May, 2021. The data were evaluated with the Perceived Stress Scale.
Results: The experimental group obtained a lower mean of post-test scores (26.36±5.96) from the Perceived Stress Scale than the control group (30.48±3.93), and this difference was statistically significant (p<.05). Also, the experimental group obtained lower mean scores from the Perceived Stress Scale in the post-test phase than the one in the pretest phase, and this difference was statistically significant (p<.05).
Conclusion: Nurses and midwives should include the practice of Guided Imagery in the care processes to reduce the stress levels of women with high-risk pregnancies.
