The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of an intervention program based on neuro- dramatic play on mother-fetus attachment in pregnant women. For this purpose, the program was implemented from the 4th month of pregnancy and for biweekly an hour on volunteer women who were 20 to 35 years old, nulliparous, had general health according to Goldberg scale and their education was at least diploma. In order to check the status of attachment, the mothers filled the maternal antenatal attachment scale monthly. The method was semi-experimental and the pretest- posttest control group design, so the control group was selected with considering inclusion and exclusion criteria from women referred to Nikan hospital. Results based on descriptive statistics show the effectiveness of the research program but based on inferential statistics and using t test, significant difference between two groups was observed just in intensity of the 7th month. According to the results, it seems that the program was effective in promoting prenatal attachment, so we can use it to support at risk groups of attachment problems
