Summary description of the study

This research project aims to investigate whether and to what extent breathing exercises affect stress levels and sleep quality in pregnant women. Participation in the study takes place from the 10th to the 40th week of pregnancy.

(BASEC)

Intervention under investigation

Participants will be randomly divided into two groups: the so-called experimental group and the control group. The experimental group will be asked to perform breathing exercises. The influence on sleep quality, general well-being, and stress levels will be assessed through the evaluation of vital parameters. Additionally, subjective reports on stress levels and sleep quality over time will be recorded using questionnaires.
