The present studyaimed to investigate the effect of familiarity with cesarean section and the operating room environmenton anxiety and pain intensity among the mothers undergoing cesarean section.METHODS: This clinical trial was conducted on 80 women referred to the hospitals affiliated toShiraz University of Medical Sciences for cesarean section in 2018. The participants were randomlydivided into a control (n = 40) and an intervention group (n = 40). The intervention group took partin four educational sessions, while the control group received the hospital’s routine care. The BeckAnxiety Inventory was completed by the two groups before and after the intervention. The McGill PainQuestionnaire was also filled out by the two groups in the ward after the cesarean section. After all,the data were entered into the SPSS software, version 21, and were analyzed using independentt‑test and ANCOVA.RESULTS: The results showed no significant difference between the two groups regarding themean score of anxiety prior to the intervention. After the intervention, the mean score of anxietywas 7.98 ± 3.77 in the intervention group and 19.70 ± 6.45 in the control group, and the differencewas statistically significant (P < 0.0001). Indeed, the mean intensity of pain was 43.98 ± 7.63 in theintervention group and 57.75 ± 10.69 in the control group after the intervention, and the differencewas statistically significant (P < 0.017).CONCLUSION: The patients’ familiarity with cesarean section and the operating room environmentcaused a decline in the anxiety level prior to cesarean section as well as a decrease in the scoreof pain after the operation. Hence, midwives and nurses have to play effective roles in decreasingpregnant women’s anxiety and pain through identification of strategies for empowering them andmanaging their worries.

The present study aimed to determine the impact of attachment skills trainingon happiness among women with unplanned pregnancy.MATERIALS AND METHODS: This clinical trial was conducted on 84 women with unplannedpregnancy referred to three prenatal clinics in Shiraz in 2018. The participants were randomly dividedinto an intervention group and a control group using permutation block. At first, the participants wererequested to sign written informed consent form, demographic information form, and mental healthquestionnaire. Then, they were asked to complete Oxford Happiness Questionnaire and Cranley’sMaternal-Fetal Attachment Scale. The intervention group received attachment training through six90-min sessions, while the control group underwent the hospital’s routine care. The two groups wererequired to fill out the study questionnaires once more after 4 weeks after the intervention. After all,the data were analyzed using Chi-square test, Fisher’s exact test, independent t-test, and ANOVA.RESULTS: There was a significant difference between the two groups’ pretest and posttest meanscores of happiness (P = 0.0001). The results showed that in the experimental group, pretraining andposttraining period mean scores were 89.64 (7.2) and 93.13 (6.09), respectively; while in the controlgroup, pretraining and posttraining period mean scores were, respectively, 91.69 (9.96) and 91 (8.82).The difference between the two groups was statistically significant. No significant relationship wasobserved between happiness and the couples’ occupations, number of pregnancies, and numberof miscarriages in the two groups (P > 0.05).CONCLUSION: The mean score of happiness increased after the training, being significantly differentfrom that in the control group. Therefore, happiness is a changeable feature that can be promotedamong pregnant women via interventional methods.
