The Effect of Lullaby Intervention on Anxiety and Attachment in Pregnancy

The aim of present study was to investigate the effect of lullaby intervention on anxiety and prenatal attachment in women with high-risk pregnancy. The study involved women with high-risk pregnancy who were assigned randomly to the intervention (n=30) or control (n=30) groups in a state hospital in Turkey. For two successive days, the intervention group listened to lullabies for 20 minutes once a day, meanwhile touched the abdomen and thought about their babies, but the control group did not. Data from the outcomes of anxiety and attachment were collected at baseline and at the end of the second day. Vital findings were measured on each study day, both before and after the lullaby intervention/usual care.
