Background and Objective: Prenatal ultrasound has enabled early detection of fetal malformations, which can cause significant psychological distress for expectant mothers. This study aimed to investigate the effect of psychological nursing intervention on the psychological well-being and pregnancy outcomes of pregnant women diagnosed with fetal malformations by ultrasound. Methods: A total of 60 participants in the intervention group and 54 in the control group were included in the study. The intervention group received mental nursing intervention, including emotional support, professional language guidance, and team-based rotating inspections. The quality of life (QoL) was assessed using the World Health Organization Quality of Life Questionnaire (WHOQoL-Bref). Results: Results showed that the intervention group had significantly better emotional function and total QoL scores compared to the control group. Concluson: These findings suggest that targeted psychological support and intervention can effectively alleviate emotional distress and enhance overall well-being in pregnant women facing a diagnosis of fetal malformation. Further research should explore the long-term effects and cost-effectiveness of such interventions in larger and more diverse populations.
