The intervention, designed as a Modified Mindfulness Training Program (MMTP), aims to reduce antenatal depression and perceived stress among pregnant women, especially those with a preference for a male child. This program is adapted to address culturally specific stressors relevant to these women, promoting mental health and resilience during pregnancy. The intervention is based on Nola Pender's Health Promotion Model and structured using the ADAPT-ITT framework, which includes Assessment, Decision, Adaptation, Production, Topical Experts, Integration, Training, and Testing phases.
