      <study_design>Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Single blinded, Placebo: Not used, Assignment: Other, Purpose: Supportive, Randomization description: Blocked random allocation method will be used for random assignment of samples to two intervention groups (mindfulness-based art therapy) and control group (routine care). For this purpose, quadruple blocks will be considered. The six blocks may be TCTTCC, CTTC, CTCT, CCTT, TCTC, TCCT, with T being for the intervention group and C for the control group. The randbetween function in Excel will be used to randomly select blocks. Production numbers will be between 1 and 6 and will be selected based on the production number of the desired block and all 4 samples will be assigned to the intervention and control group, Blinding description: Due to the nature of the intervention, it will not be possible to keep the participants and the researcher responsible for the intervention blind during the intervention process. Therefore, in order to control the blinding bias at the evaluator level (detection bias), the blinding process will be performed on the people who are responsible for collecting information and analyzing data.</study_design>

      <hc_freetext>Fear of childbirth in nulliparous women.</hc_freetext>
      <i_freetext>Intervention 1: Intervention group: The intervention is mindfulness-based art therapy, which will be performed by a Master of Midwifery Counseling in 8 sessions in women with a "gestational age" of 26-26 weeks. Group meetings are held for 4 weeks (2 sessions per week). Each session will take 90 minutes. The groups will be 3-5 people. The research team includes a reproductive health specialist, a reproductive epidemiologist, a psychiatrist, a clinical psychologist, an art therapist, and a graduate student in midwifery counseling who will assist in the design and implementation of the protocol.  The content of the program of the present research sessions is as follows: 1. Familiarity with mindfulness technique, exploring the relationship between mind and body and understanding pregnancy and the existence of a child 2. Recognizing and accepting their feelings by focusing on feelings about childbirth and child 3. Recognizing and understanding the feelings and perceptions about the birth process 4. Recognizing and understanding the feelings towards the baby 5. Recognizing and understanding the feelings and perceptions about parenting 6. Recognizing and understanding the feelings and perceptions towards the delivery room and staff 7. Recognizing perceptions related to the person's self-confidence and abilities, recognizing obstacles in order to help him on the journey to delivery 8. Recognizing and understanding the feelings and perceptions of the person Life after childbirth. Content validity of the protocol of this 8-session program will be reviewed by relevant experts (psychiatrist, psychologist, art therapist, reproductive health specialist, gynecologist). In these sessions, techniques of painting, collage and working with clay or dough will be used. The tools used in this research include painting supplies such as paper, crayons, watercolors and pastels, and collage supplies such as cardboard, pieces of fabric, newspapers, magazines, photographs, disposables, glue and clay or dough. Exercises are also considered as homework. This protocol is implemented practically in Iran and its effect on the study outcome (fear of childbirth) will be calculated through indicators such as the Effect Size index. Intervention 2: Control group: Women in the control group will receive routine prenatal care (Prenatal periodic visits). After completing the last questionnaire (four weeks after the intervention), in order to enjoy the benefits of the study, a mindfulness-based art therapy session will be held for the control group participants and their possible questions about fear of childbirth will be answered.</i_freetext>
