Brief Summary

In this thesis study, it is thought that with the guided imagery application to the hospitalized pregnant women, there will be a decrease in their stress levels and an increase in their sleep quality. In our country, there is no study where guided imagery application is used in risky pregnant women. It is thought that new information will be added to the literature as a result of this study. This study will be conducted to determine the effect of guided imagery application on pregnancy stress and sleep quality in risky pregnant women.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Pregnancy Stress Assessment Scale

  Pregnancy Stress Assessment Scale will be implemented to the pregnant women. The degree of anxiety, distress and worry experienced by pregnant women is \"definitely not\", \"mild\", \"moderate\", \"serious\" or \"very serious\" and is given on a score ranging from 0 to 4, and the perceived stress levels during pregnancy range from a minimum of 0 to a maximum of 144 points. As the score obtained from the scale increases, it is interpreted that stress increases.
