Climate-Safe Pregnancy Intervention for Women With Preeclclampsia

Brief summary (registry, in English)

This randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a climate-related nursing intervention in improving pregnancy-specific climate change knowledge, health beliefs, and protective behaviors among pregnant women diagnosed with preeclampsia. Climate change, particularly extreme heat exposure and air pollution, increases maternal and fetal health risks and may worsen hypertensive disorders of pregnancy such as preeclampsia. Despite growing evidence linking climate-related exposures to adverse pregnancy outcomes, there is limited intervention research addressing climate adaptation in high-risk pregnant women. A total of 104 pregnant women with preeclampsia receiving antenatal care at Benha University Hospitals, Egypt, were randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to either the intervention group or the control group. The intervention group received routine antenatal care plus a structured nursing educational program entitled "Climate-Safe Pregnancy: Adaptation and Self-Protection Guidelines for Women with Preeclampsia," while the control group received routine antenatal care alone. The intervention included an individualized core educational session, structured educational materials, and a booster follow-up session. Outcomes were assessed at baseline, post-intervention, and follow-up using the Pregnancy-Specific Climate Change Awareness Scale (PSCCAS), the Health Belief Model-Based Climate Change and Preeclampsia Scale (HBM-CCP), and the Climate Change Health Protection Behaviors Scale (CCHPB). The study aims to provide evidence for theory-based nursing interventions that support maternal adaptation to climate-related health risks and improve antenatal care outcomes for women with preeclampsia.
