Material and Methods: Data were collected between February and April 2025 from 123 participants at the obstetrics outpatient clinic and wards of a training and research hospital. Participants completed a Personal Information From, the Prenatal Attachment Inventory (PAI), and the Three-Factor Spiritual Well-Being Scale (3F-SWB). Results: High levels of prenatal attachment and spiritual well-being were observed among participants. Prenatal attachment was significantly associated with age, planned pregnancy, and psychological status, while spiritual well-being was significantly related to family structure and psychological status. Moreover, a moderate, positive, and statistically significant correlation was found between prenatal attachment and spiritual well-being. Conclusion: These findings highlight the importance of integrating spiritual and emotional support services into midwifery care for high-risk pregnancies.}, number={3}, publisher={Ümit Muhammet KOÇYİĞİT}
