description Aim and Background: Pregnancy is one of the most important phases of a woman’s reproductive cycle and is considered a natural process for them. Nevertheless, due to changes in psychological and social domains, it can be accompanied by mood and anxiety disorders. So, the aim of this study was to investigate mindfulness based on stress reduction for somatic, cognitive, behavioral anxiety and sleep quality in pregnant mothers.

The obtained data were analyzed by statistical tests such as independent and paired T-Test using SPSS software version 25. Findings: The findings indicate that MBSR had effect on anxiety and sleep quality of pregnant women (P<0/05).
