Mindfulness-based programme on the psychological health of pregnant women.

CONCLUSIONS: Perinatal mental health problems affect mothers, their infants, and society. The eight-week mindfulness programme effectively reduced self-perceived stress and depression and increased childbirth self-efficacy and mindfulness. Future research is needed to explore the potential benefits, mechanisms, and effects on maternal and infant birth outcomes of mindfulness. PMID: 29752225 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
