ABSTRACT

A quasi-experimental cross-sectional study in 20 pregnant women at high risk of inminent complications, hospitalized in “Tamara Bunke Bider” Teaching Ginecoobstetric Hospital in Santiago de Cuba, was carried out from January to May, 2015, that showed different manifestations of psychological discomfort, with the purpose of evaluating the effectiveness of meditation to reduce the symptoms of these disorders. An initial and final evaluations were carried out, with the interview and the IDARE, Zung and Conde tests; the McNemar test was also used to measure the association level between the final results of the treatment and the meditation. As main result it was obtained that the practice of meditation was effective in the improvement of the anxious and mixed discomfort, although its effectiveness was reduced in the patients that presented dysphoria. In the same way, the technique contributed to elevate the emotional selfcontrol in pregnant women.
