The Effect of Fetal Heart Sound Played by Parents Diagnosed With Risky Pregnancy on Attachment and Anxiety

The pregnant women in the experimental group and their partners listened to fetal heart sounds for 7 days. After obtaining pre-test data from the participants in the intervention group, the midwifery intervention to be implemented was explained. A fetal heart rate monitoring device, which will be given to couples to listen to the fetal heart sound before sleep, was introduced. They were told that they had to listen to the fetal heart sound at least 7 times using this device. A supporting application was downloaded to the pregnant woman's phone for the installation of the fetal heart rate monitoring device. The way of using the application and the operation steps were introduced. It was explained to the couples that the application can detect the baby's heartbeat within seconds thanks to its smart search technology, and also provides step-by-step guidance by giving live feedback.
