Role of psychological intervention on psychological well being in incidental radiological findings of otherwise normal pregnant females
Journal Title: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF RECENT TRENDS IN SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY - Year 2017, Vol 21, Issue 3
Abstract
Pregnancy is a state of emotional turmoil. With the advent of newer diagnostic techniques and with the popularity of antenatal maternal care more and more females are nowadays diagnosed with a range of incidental findings like gall bladder/urinary stones, liver enlargements etc, which are mostly non significant and not harmful. But these incidental findings if not explained in proper manner to pregnant females can lead to be a severe stress factor for them. So psychological interventions are needed to alleviate apprehension and worry related to such findings. This randomised case control study has been done to evaluate the effect of psychological interventions among the pregnant females who were diagnosed radiologically having incidental findings of gall bladder stone, liver enlargement etc.
