The effect of planned training given to women with preeclamptic
pregnancy on oxidative stress and anxiety levels: non-randomised
controlled-study
Abstract
This study aimed to studying the effects of planned training given to
women with preeclamptic pregnancy on stress-anxiety and oxidative stress
levels. A non-randomised controlled-study study, carried out in
Gynecology and Obstetrics Clinics of Research and Application Hospital
of one university. In the study, 28 preeclamptic patients matching the
sampling criteria were taken as the experimental group and 22 other
preeclamptic patients who also match the sampling criteria constituted
the control group. Questionnaire, scale application and laboratory
evaluation for the control group were performed only once. In the
experimental group, there is a statistically significant difference
between the TAS (mmol trolox equ./L) (t = -9.71 P = 0.00) and the TOS
(lmol H2O2 equ./L) (t = 6.56 P = 0.00) measurements before and after the
training and there is a statistically significant difference between the
State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (t = 3.64 P = 0.00) before and after the
training. It has been determined in the study that the planned training
given to the pregnant women who received a diagnosis of preeclampsia has
decreased their oxidative stress levels and state anxiety levels.
