Abstract:

 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 26.365.96 from the Perceived Stress Scale than the control group 30.483.93, 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.
