The exercise instruction consists of three core mindfulness practices: (i) Focus the Mind: to cultivate present-moment attention and reduce cognitive rumination; (ii) Breath Awareness: to anchor attention and promote relaxation; and (iii) Basic Body Scan: to encourage non-judgmental awareness of bodily sensations to enhance their mind-body connection.\n\nThe intervention will be delivered face-to-face at the health centers using a smartphone-based video. The intervention is planned to be delivered regularly according to a standardized schedule for each of the women individually. Each session of the exercise can last for about 21-23 minutes.

Rooted in ancient meditative practices that originated from Buddhist religion and traditions and adapted for clinical use, mindfulness intervention cultivates present-moment awareness and nonjudgmental acceptance of thoughts, emotions, and bodily sensations. Mostly, mindfulness interventions include elements such as mindful breathing and body scanning and have shown effectiveness in reducing depressive symptoms and enhancing emotional regulation. It is the ability to maintain attention to an immediate experience with a sense of adopting an open and accepting attitude toward that experience.

This clinical trial will be conducted in pregnant women. The main questions it aims to answer are:\n\n* Can video-guided mindfulness intervention be effective for prenatal depression treatment as compared to routine care?\n* Is there a dose-response relationship between the length of a video-guided mindfulness intervention and a reduction in prenatal depression symptoms?\n* Does a video-guided mindfulness intervention improve mental health-related quality of life more effectively than routine care?\n* What is the impact of intervention duration on the effectiveness of a video-guided mindfulness intervention for improving mental health-related quality of life?\n* Can a video-guided mindfulness intervention during pregnancy lead to improved neonatal birth outcomes compared to standard care?\n* Can a video-guided mindfulness intervention during pregnancy reduce the risk of developing prenatal depression compared to routine care?\n* Can the treatment of maternal prenatal depression through a video-guided mindfulness intervention reduce the risk of paternal postpartum depression? Researchers will compare the intervention group with a group of pregnant women who screen positive for prenatal depression but continue to receive only routine antenatal care, in order to evaluate differences in prenatal depression symptoms, improvements in mental health-related quality of life, reductions in the risk of maternal and paternal postpartum depression, and improvements in neonatal birth outcomes.\n\nParticipants (the intervention group) will receive a video-guided mindfulness intervention that they will listen to for eight weeks at their nearest health center three times a week.",[77,78,79,80],"Prenatal Depression","Mental Health Related Quality of Life","Maternal Postpartum Depression","Paternal Postpartum Depression",[82,83,84,85,86,87],"mHealth","mindfulness","prenatal depression","randomized controlled trial","health technology","RCT","NOT_YET_RECRUITING","2025-08-25",{"date":91,"type":92},"2025-09-03","ACTUAL",{"date":94,"type":71},"2025-11-01",{"date":96,"type":71},"2025-12-31",{"name":55,"class":6},1]
