The statistical population of this study was all pregnant women referring to health centers in Ferdows in the first half of 1397, which is 492 people. 30 of them were selected by available sampling method and randomly assigned to two groups of experimental and control groups. The Conscious mind based on spiritual Islamic schema was applied to the experimental group during 8 sessionsThe Life Orientation Test (LOT) and Apgar test were used to collect information.

Conclusion: The first and fifth minutes of Apgar scores in the infants of mothers who participated in mindfulness-based Islamic -spiritual schemas were higher than those of the mothers who were not present in the program and were in the control group. In general, it can be said that the mindfulness course based on the spiritual Islamic schema has been effective in increasing the optimism of pregnant women and has increased the optimism of the participants in this course. With inner peace, the practical application of calling spiritual experience and familiarity with the concept of mindfulness and its implementation, which the researcher presented to the experimental group during his training sessions, was related. By placing people's beliefs, spirituality affects important cognitive evaluations in the coping process and helps a person to evaluate negative events in a different way and creates a stronger sense of control and causes people to be optimistic. Mindfulness exercises, by increasing people's awareness of the present moment, through techniques such as paying attention to breathing, paying attention to the body, and directing awareness to the here and now, have a positive effect on the cognitive system and information processing, and create optimism in the person. He said that the effect of the mother's psychological processes on the growth and health of the fetus is very broad, comprehensive and important, because the mother's mental state is greatly affected by the emotions of the intrauterine state. And this is the cause of many emotional and developmental differences in babies. According to this research, the fetus is affected by the mother's hormonal changes and goes through its growth stages, and the mother's stress causes an increase in the secretion of cortisol, or the stress hormone, and has a negative effect on the health of the fetus. For this reason, it is recommended that expectant mothers have more physical and mental rest during this period in order to have healthier children.
