The purpose of this study was to investigate anxiety and self-confidence in adolescent and adult pregnant women. Thirty-five adolescents, ages 13 to 16, and 58 adult women, ages 21 to 33, participated in this study. The majority of the sample was black and unmarried, and all attended a low-risk prenatal clinic for a first pregnancy. Spielberger's State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) and Pharis' Self-Confidence Scale were administered during the women's second trimester of pregnancy. Results indicated significant negative correlations for both state and trait anxiety during pregnancy and self-confidence for all women, but no significant differences in anxiety and self-confidence between the two groups. Results indicate the need for nurses to develop and implement plans for decreasing anxiety and enhancing self-confidence of all pregnant women.
本研究的目的是调查青少年和成年孕妇的焦虑及自信心状况。35名年龄在13至16岁的青少年和58名年龄在21至33岁的成年女性参与了本研究。样本中的大多数为黑人且未婚，她们均在一家低风险产前诊所进行首次妊娠检查。在孕妇妊娠中期，使用了斯皮尔伯格状态-特质焦虑量表（STAI）和法里斯自信心量表进行测评。结果表明，所有女性在孕期的状态焦虑和特质焦虑与自信心之间均存在显著负相关，但两组在焦虑和自信心方面无显著差异。结果表明，护士需要制定并实施相关计划，以降低所有孕妇的焦虑水平并增强其自信心。
