Background The loss of the fetus may cause mental health problems in women. The present study aimed to determine the effect of mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) on anxiety, depression, and stress in women with early pregnancy loss. Methods This study was performed on 106 women with early pregnancy loss in Shiraz, Iran. The intervention group underwent eight counselling sessions. Pre-test and post-test were performed in both groups with the Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale (DASS) 21 questionnaire. Data were analyzed by SPSS 23. Results There was a statistically significant difference between the mean scores in the intervention group vs. the control group in terms of anxiety (7.9 ± 1.07 vs. 13.79 ± 5.36, respectively), stress (9.26 ± 1.25 vs.18.13 ± 7.66, respectively), and depression (7.83 ± 1.05 vs.16.26 ± 11.06, respectively) (P < 0.0001). Conclusions MBSR can be suggested to promote women's mental health.

Background: There is a notable lack of empirical validation regarding the use of internet-based emotion-focused cognitive behavioral therapy (IECBT) for counseling pregnant women. Objectives: This study examines the feasibility, acceptability, and effectiveness of IECBT in counseling women with suspected fetal anomalies. Methods: In a quasi-experimental study, 130 pregnant women diagnosed with anxiety disorders were randomly assigned to either IECBT with spousal participation (65 participants) or IECBT alone (65 participants). All participants completed three pregnancy-specific stress questionnaires—the NuPDQ, Spielberger State Anxiety Inventory, and Edinburgh Depression Scale—both before and immediately after the intervention. Results: Within-group analyses indicated that both counseling methods, with and without spousal involvement, led to significant reductions in pregnancy-specific stress, depression, and anxiety symptoms by the end of the intervention (P < 0.001). Between-group comparisons revealed that IECBT with spousal participation significantly reduced pregnancy-specific stress (effect size = 0.055, P = 0.007) and depressive symptoms (effect size = 0.480, P < 0.001) compared to IECBT without spousal involvement. However, neither intervention produced a significant reduction in anxiety symptoms (effect size = 0.001, P = 0.787). Conclusions: Both IECBT approaches (with and without spousal participation) are feasible, reliable, and effective methods for alleviating depression and stress symptoms in pregnant women with suspected fetal anomalies.
