Pregnancy directly affects maternal and child health, and in cases of complications, it can lead to morbidity and mortality, particularly in developing countries . According to data from the World Health Organization (WHO), approximately 830 women worldwide die daily due to preventable pregnancy- and childbirth-related causes, with 99% of all maternal deaths occurring in developing countries, including Turkey (https:\u002F\u002Fwww.who.int\u002Fnews-room\u002Ffact-sheets\u002Fdetail\u002Fmaternal-mortality).\n\nIn Turkey, the 2005 National Maternal Mortality Study reported a maternal mortality rate of 28.5 per 100,000 live births. This study revealed that 49.3% of pregnancy-related deaths and 61.6% of maternal deaths were due to preventable causes Hemorrhage, infection, and preeclampsia\u002Feclampsia are among the leading causes of maternal mortality both in Turkey and globally . This significant issue is included in the Sustainable Development Goals (2016-2030) as a target to reduce global maternal mortality\n\nHigh-risk pregnancy refers to conditions where maternal, fetal, or neonatal health is partially or entirely at risk . According to the 2013 Turkey Demographic and Health Survey (TNSA), 63% of pregnant women aged 18-34 in Turkey fall into at least one risk category. High-risk pregnancies are associated with various physiological and psychological challenges, negatively impacting maternal, infant, and family health . In addition to posing life-threatening risks, high-risk pregnancies represent a crisis related to fertility . When a pregnancy is high-risk, emotional distress increases due to maternal or fetal complications . Compared to low-risk pregnancies, high-risk pregnant women experience significantly higher stress regarding their own and their baby's health .\n\nStressors experienced by high-risk pregnant women include receiving a high-risk pregnancy diagnosis, unplanned pregnancy, pregnancy complications, fetal abnormalities, childbirth fears, adolescent pregnancies, marital issues, lack of social support, economic concerns, postpartum problems, and hospitalization . Perceived stress during pregnancy is highly significant for pregnancy outcomes . Pregnancy-related stress has been characterized as a stronger form of stress than general stress due to its ability to trigger heightened physiological arousal . This can have adverse effects, increasing maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality risks . Stress may elevate oxytocin and prostaglandin hormone levels while reducing beta-endorphin and progesterone levels, leading to birth complications or adverse birth outcomes .\n\nStress during pregnancy has been associated with negative birth outcomes, including preterm labor, spontaneous abortion, neonatal malformations, and growth retardation . Additionally, stress can negatively impact parental attachment to the fetus and newborn . There is a bidirectional relationship between attachment and a woman's psychosocial well-being. Prenatal attachment is influenced by the mother's psychosocial state, and a lack of attachment can negatively affect her mental well-being. Literature suggests a link between prenatal attachment and long-term maternal depression . A study highlighting the potential adverse effects of stress on prenatal attachment in high-risk pregnancies emphasized the importance of supporting prenatal attachment to prevent postpartum issues such as anxiety and depression .",[188],"High-Risk Pregnancies",[190,191,192,193,194],"High-risk pregnancy","Prenatal attachment","Stress management","Paint-by-numbers activity","Randomized controlled trial","2025-04-24",{"date":197,"type":40},"2025-05-02",{"date":199,"type":21},"2025-05-15",{"date":201,"type":21},"2025-09-10",{"name":46,"class":47},{"id":204,"slug":205,"hasResults":11,"nctId":206,"briefTitle":207,"officialTitle":208,"acronym":4,"eligibilityCriteria":209,"healthyVolunteers":11,"sex":16,"minAge":56,"maxAge":4,"enrollmentInfo":210,"targetDuration":4,"studyType":22,"phases":211,"briefSummary":212,"conditions":213,"keywords":217,"overallStatus":218,"whyStopped":4,"lastUpdateSubmitDate":219,"lastUpdatePostDateStruct":220,"startDateStruct":222,"completionDateStruct":224,"leadSponsor":226,"locationsCount":75},"100587604","effectiveness-of-smoking-cessation-education-100587604","NCT06930547","Effectiveness of Smoking Cessation Education","Investigation of the Effectiveness of Smoking Cessation Education in Patients Registered at a Community Mental Health Center: A Randomized Controlled Trial","Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* Being registered with TRSM (Community Mental Health Center)\n* Being in the remission phase (the period after the patient's treatment is completed, with no observed active symptoms and improved insight)\n* Smoking at least one cigarette per day regularly\n* Being open to communication and collaboration\n* Being over the age of 18\n* Volunteering to participate in the study.\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* Not being registered with TRSM (Community Mental Health Center)\n* Not being in the remission phase (presence of active symptoms or lack of improved insight)\n* Smoking less than one cigarette per day\n* Being unwilling or unable to communicate and collaborate effectively\n* Being under the age of 18\n* Not volunteering or unwilling to participate in the study.",{"count":184,"type":21},[24],"Smoking is an important psychosocial problem that concerns society.

Despite the high mortality rate, smoking addiction is shown as one of the biggest preventable diseases and causes of death. Individuals with mental health problems have a much higher smoking rate than the general population. Studies show that people with severe mental disorders such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder and major depression have a smoking rate three to four times higher than the general population. It has been reported that this high smoking rate is associated with more morbidity, mortality and increased healthcare costs in individuals with severe mental disorders.\n\nIt is reported that nurses, who spend the most time with patients and constitute the largest group of healthcare personnel, have an effective role in smoking cessation initiatives. The importance of nurses in tobacco control is emphasized in the publication titled \"Nurses for a Tobacco-Free Life\" by the International Council of Nursing (ICN). Although both national and international literature demonstrates that smoking is a serious problem in individuals with severe mental illness through descriptive research results, it is seen that smoking cessation intervention studies are quite limited.
