EFFECT OF BLOOD PRESSURE MEASUREMENT IN DIFFERENT POSITIONS ON BLOOD PRESSURE VALUES AND ANXIETY LEVELS IN PREGNANT WOMEN WITH PREECLAMPSIA

Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 27 Mar 2025

Brief summary (registry, in English)

Aim: This study examined the effects of blood pressure measurement in different positions on diastolic and systolic blood pressure values and anxiety levels in pregnant women diagnosed with preeclampsia. Method: The study was conducted between March and June 2024 as a pre-test post-test quasi-experimental study with 96 pregnant women diagnosed with preeclampsia in the perinatology department of a training and research hospital. Participants were divided into three groups and their blood pressures were measured in the left lateral, right lateral and semi-Fowler positions. Data were collected using an introductory information form and the State Anxiety Scale.

Who cannot take part

Copied verbatim from ClinicalTrials.gov and grouped by topic. Only the trial team decides who can take part.

Other illness

  • • Presence of a physical disability that would make it difficult to perform the positions included in the study (e.g. loss of extremity),
    • Presence of decompensated disease (e.g. eclampsia, pulmonary edema),
    • Presence of a history of cardiological disease,
    • Diagnosis of obstructive sleep apnea,
    • Presence of additional risk factors other than preeclampsia (e.g. threat of premature birth, placental anomalies).

Who the study is looking for

  • Being primigravida (first pregnancy),
    • Being in the third trimester of pregnancy,
    • Being between the ages of 18-45,
    • Being diagnosed with preeclampsia,
    • Having an arm circumference of less than 36 cm,
    • Having a history of hospitalization of at least 24 hours (in order to minimize anxiety, uncertainty, lack of information and disorientation related to hospitalization).
