Mother's attachment to the fetus in unwanted pregnancy

The statistical population is the pregnant women with unwanted pregnancy referring to the health centers of the city of Kazeroon. At first, 150 people are selected as the sample by available sampling. The selected individuals were randomly divided into three groups using a block size of 6 subjects. The random assignment sequence is determined by the website. N =50 individuals in the logo therapy group, and n = 50 in the cognitive behavioral group and n = 50 in the control group are replaced. Someone, other than the main intervener, assigns codes to individuals and allocates them to intervention and control groups based on the assignment sequence.

Pre-test questionnaires are filled out before being assigned to three groups , by a person who has no knowledge of the groups and the treatment process . The post-test questionnaires should be filled out after intervention by someone other than the leading interventionist who is not aware of the group of people and treatment performed. We also do not inform the information analyst of the group of people and the type of intervention. The employees involved in the research are not aware of the group of people and the type of intervention in each group. There is no possibility of blinding for the participants.
