| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study aimed to analyze the effects of recording the attachment behavior of pregnant women on fetal attachment, salivary oxytocin concentration, and fetal presence awareness. The subjects were 33 pregnant women. Only those in the intervention group recorded touching the fetus for 1 week. The mean value on the fetal attachment scale (hereafter referred to as PAI) was higher in the intervention group than that in the control group upon the second time (p=0.042). Only the intervention group showed an increase in the second PAI compared to that of the first (p=0.016). Oxytocin levels were higher in the intervention group compared to that in the control group upon the second visit (p=0.016). When the two groups were compared for changes on fetal presence awareness, more individuals in the intervention group were aware of the fetus than that in the control group (p=0.03).

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
妊婦が胎児へのタッチング等、愛着行動の記録を1週間つけることで胎児の存在意識が高まり、胎児愛着や唾液オキシトシン濃度が高くなることが分かった。したがって、胎児の関わりの記録を促すなど、妊婦が日常生活の中で胎児の反応の知覚やかかわりを振り返ることで胎児への意識を高めることは、胎児への愛着形成を促し、妊婦の母親役割獲得の促進やさらには産後うつ発症の予防へと応用できる可能性が示唆された。
