We determined maternal & neonatal health consequences of education and counseling for the pregnant with preeclampsia
(PE) risk & effects of those on self-efficacy level & healthy lifestyle behaviors. Fourty seven pregnants were in the study
group (SG) and 53 were in the control group (CG). PE risk determination form, self-efficacy scale (SES), healthy lifestyle
behavior scale II (HLBS-II), self-monitoring form, postpartum (PP) assessment form, PE education booklet for necessary
information were utilized in the course of collection of research data. Groups were monitored 4 times from 20th week of
pregnancy, labor and PP follow-ups were performed. The women in SG were educated and counseled on PE. CG were subjected
to standard care. HLBS-II score averages in both groups in the first monitoring were similar, while HLBS-II averages of the SG
were found to be higher & significant in 2nd, 3rd and 4th monitoring sessions. SES averages of the pregnants in both groups was
found similar in all of 4 monitoring sessions. CG experienced most of the severe PE symptoms, more than the SG. 1st and 5th
min. apgar scores, weight & nutrition conditions were found to be similar between the infants in the SG & CG. PE developed
in 7.6% of pregnants in CG and gestational hypertension developed in 6.3% of SG and 5.7% of CG. No difference in pregnancy
problems & PP maternal and neonatal problems were found between two groups. Education and consultation provided to
pregnants with PE risk contributes to acquiring healthy lifestyle behaviors and improvement of mother-infant health.
