The intervention consisted of 8 weekly sessions of a structured positive psychology program emphasizing positive emotional experiences, adaptive coping, gratitude practices, contentment exercises, and identification of personal strengths. The control group received routine prenatal care. IPV exposure was assessed using a domestic violence screening checklist. Outcomes were measured using the Conflict Tactics Scales, the Spielberger State\u2013Trait Anxiety Inventory, and the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale at baseline, 1 week, and 1 month following the intervention. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 25, with statistical significance set at\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&lt;\u20090.05.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      At baseline, no significant differences were observed between the groups in depression or state\u2013trait anxiety scores.
