Description
Mahdieh Naderi and co-authors test a phone-based self-care program for sleep problems in pregnancy, in a 2025 study in Qom, Iran. Poor sleep affects up to 80 percent of pregnant women and raises risks such as early birth. The program blends standard advice with Iranian traditional medicine, sent through messaging apps.
Seventy-two women took part, half in the program and half in usual care. Twice a week for three months, the program group got audio, video, and print tips on food, mood, activity, sleep, surroundings, and body care, plus chances to ask questions. Their sleep scores improved a great deal, while scores in the control group slipped a bit. Their health literacy also rose more. The low-cost model may suit other places where clinic visits are hard to reach.
