What this trial studies
This research aims to screen and address psychological issues in women who are pregnant with twins, focusing on early detection and treatment to reduce mental health complications. Participants will be divided into two groups: one receiving standard care and the other receiving enhanced psychological support tailored to their needs. Evaluation methods will include assessments of stress, anxiety, and depression at various stages of pregnancy, along with monitoring for complications such as preterm birth. The goal is to promote the health of both mother and baby through proactive psychological care.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could significantly improve the mental health outcomes for mothers of twins, leading to healthier pregnancies and better overall well-being.
How similar studies have gone: While there is limited data on similar interventions specifically for twin pregnancies, psychological support in pregnancy has shown promise in improving maternal and fetal outcomes in other contexts.
