The study was conducted to determine the effect of a web-based support program based on the Health Promotion Model (HPM) on healthy lifestyle behaviors, self-efficacy, and prenatal distress in pregnant women with preeclampsia. The study was conducted with 82 pregnant women diagnosed with preeclampsia, 41 of whom were in the web-based support group and 41 in the control group. Participant introduction form, Healthy Lifestyle Behaviors Scale-II (HLBS-II), Self-Efficacy Scale (SES), Prenatal Distress Scale (PDS), pregnant women's self-monitoring form, and postpartum assessment form were used for data collection. The increase in the total scores of the HLBS-II and the SES and the decrease in the total score of the PDS was found to be statistically significant in the pregnant women in the web support-based group after the web support. The HPM-based web-based support program improved healthy lifestyle behaviors and self-efficacy and reduced prenatal stress levels of pregnant women with preeclampsia but did not contribute to neonatal outcomes.SignificancePregnant women diagnosed with preeclampsia often face heightened physiological and psychological challenges. This study demonstrates that a web-based support program structured around the Health Promotion Model (HPM) significantly improves healthy lifestyle behaviors and self-efficacy while reducing prenatal distress in this high-risk population. These findings suggest that digital health interventions are effective, accessible tools for enhancing maternal well-being. By integrating such platforms into standard obstetric care, healthcare providers can offer continuous, evidence-based support that empowers patients to manage their condition more effectively outside of clinical settings.
