However, it can also be a period of great vulnerability and uncertainty with the potential to hinder the mother's well-being and bonding with the baby, and undermine the child's later emotional, social, and cognitive development. The mothers' emotional regulation skills, namely self-compassion, may be useful in protecting the mother and the mother-baby bonding, making them a valuable target of intervention during the perinatal period and a potential protective factor for mental health. Although compassion-based interventions (CBIs) have been proven effective in promoting well-being and reducing mental health difficulties across diverse populations, including the perinatal period, evidence of their impact on maternal well-being and the mother-baby bond remains limited. Thus, the research team propose to explore the acceptability, feasibility, and preliminary efficacy of a CBI during pregnancy on mothers' compassion abilities, and consequent impact on well-being and quality of mother-baby bonding at postpartum.\n\nThis pilot cluster randomised trial addresses the research question of 'Does the Care4mommies intervention work to promote mothers' compassion and higher quality of the mother-baby bonding?' Participants will be mothers enrolled in group birth preparation courses (i.e., TAU); those groups will be randomly allocated to Care4mommies plus TAU or TAU only and assessed at pre-intervention and post-intervention(prepartum), and 3-month follow-up(postpartum). At pre- and postintervention, participants will be asked to provide self-reported information on self-compassion, shame and guilt about caring, maternal-fetal attachment, fear of self-compassion, self-criticism, and mental health. At post-intervention, they will also be asked to appraise data collection procedures and the implementation feasibility of the Care4mommies; at follow-up, they will be asked to report on their bonding to their baby. Researchers expect that participants in the Care4mommies plus TAU condition will report significant gains at post-intervention and sustain them until follow-up, both in relation to the mother and in mother-baby bonding, compared to the TAU group. Also it is expected that changes in self-compassion-related variables will explain changes in mother-fetal attachment and postpartum mother-infant bonding.",[81],"Pregnancy Related",[83,84,85,86],"pregnancy","mother-baby bonding","Compassion focused intervention","self-compassion","2026-05-20",{"date":89,"type":90},"2026-05-28","ACTUAL",{"date":92,"type":90},"2026-01-02",{"date":94,"type":75},"2026-12-08",{"name":5,"class":6},1]
