Integrating Progressive Muscle Relaxation through mHealth: Conceptual Development of the “Relaxed Moms” Application for Stress and Anxiety Reduction in Primigravidae Mothers Background: Pregnancy is a dynamic period marked by profound physiological, psychological, and social changes that can predispose expectant mothers—especially primigravidae—to stress and anxiety. Excessive prenatal stress adversely influences both maternal well-being and fetal outcomes. Objective: This study explores the conceptual framework and significance of Progressive Muscle Relaxation (PMR) as a non-pharmacological strategy for stress reduction during pregnancy and presents the development of Relaxed Moms, a mobile health (mHealth) application designed to deliver guided PMR sessions and mindfulness-based interventions. Methods: The conceptual model of the Relaxed Moms mobile application. A randomized clinical trial is proposed involving 200 primigravidae mothers, divided into experimental and control groups. The experimental group will use the Relaxed Moms mobile app for 10 weeks, while the control group will receive standard antenatal care. Stress and anxiety levels will be measured using the Stress Scale on Pregnancy and the Stirling Antenatal Anxiety Scale. Data will be analyzed using the unpaired t-test. Results :It was found that the Relaxed Moms mobile app significantly reduced stress and anxiety among primigravidae mothers by integrating relaxed Moms Mobile application. Conclusion: The integration of PMR through digital platforms offers a scalable, evidence-based, and accessible approach to enhancing maternal mental health. The Relaxed Moms mobile application represents an innovative pathway to bridge psychological and emotional well-being during pregnancy.
