Emotional factors and fetal monitoring in high-risk pregnancies
This study looks at how a pregnant person's feelings of control over their health and their anxiety levels relate to the results of a non-stress test (NST), which checks the baby's heartbeat and movements. It aims to improve care for high-risk pregnancies.
