Introduction: The process of the first pregnancy causes a decrease in resilience and fear of pain, which requires interventions to solve these problems. This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of group therapy spirituality on endurance and pain control in primiparous pregnant women.
Methods: The research method was semi-experimental, pre-test, and post-test with a control group. The statistical population of this study included all pregnant women who gave birth in 2022 in the city of Kerman, 30 people (15 people in the experimental group and 15 people in the control group) were selected by the available sampling method. The data collection tools were the pain disability questionnaires of Mold and the resilience questionnaires of Connor and Davidson. A group spiritual therapy intervention was performed on the experimental group, and the control group did not receive any intervention. Data analysis was done with descriptive tests (mean and standard deviation) and covariance analysis. A P value less than 0.05 was considered significant.
Results: In the resilience variable, the mean and standard deviation of the experimental group in the pre-test was 41.27 ± 7.22 and the post-test 63.18 ± 8.69. In the pain control variable, the mean and standard deviation of the group in the pre-test was 35.73 ± 6.28, and the post-test was 21.40 ± 5.44. The results showed that group therapy spirituality had an effect on endurance and pain control in primiparous pregnant women (P < 0.01).
Conclusions: Based on the findings of the research, group therapy spirituality can be used to increase endurance and control pain in primiparous pregnant women.
