Abstract
Pregnant mothers tend to experience biological changes during their pregnancy. The changesin their biological conditions can cause health problems and negative impact on their quality of life. Previous research studiesindicate that mindfulness-based interventions can overcome some physical and psychological problems in pregnant women, such as nausea, pain, stress, and depression. Therefore,this research aimed to explore the relationship between mindfulness and quality of life on pregnant mothers. The result of the study can be a resource for next study on intervention for pregnant mothers in Indonesia to help them improve their quality of life. Respondents were127 pregnant mothers who were domiciled in Indonesia. This study used Five Facets of Mindfulness Questionnaire (FFMQ) to measure mindfulness, and EQ-5D5L to measure the quality of life. The results of this study showed that the dimensions of acting with awareness and non-judging have a significant relationship with several dimensions in quality of life.
