Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of mindfulness on psychological discomfort inpregnant women, and their romantic attachment to their partner as a mediating factor. The subjectscomprised of 182 women in their third trimester of pregnancy in J province who had participated in thefirst wave of the Korean Attachment Longitudinal Study (KALS). Data were analyzed by means offrequency, percentages, Cronbach’s reliability coefficient, and partial correlation using SPSS 20.0 andstructural equation modeling through AMOS 20.0. The findings were as follows. First, the degrees ofmindfulness, romantic attachment and negative psychological discomfort of the pregnant women in theirtrimester of pregnancy were above the median score. Second, the model proposed by this researchdemonstrated the effectiveness of using the structural equation model for analysis, and showed thatromantic attachment had a partial mediating effect on the pregnant women's mindfulness and psychologicaldiscomfort, which was further proved as being statistically significant by means of bootstrapping. Thesefindings suggest that the mindfulness of pregnant women needs to be increased in order for theirpsychological discomfort to be reduced. Moreover, it may be further deduced that there is a need forpregnant women to feel securely attached to their husbands.
