This study aimed to investigate the rate and type of anxiety disorders among Nigerian women in late pregnancy. Women in late pregnancy (n = 172) and a non-pregnant control group were assessed for DSM-IV anxiety disorders. The rate of any anxiety disorder in the pregnant women was 39.0% compared with 16.3% in the non-pregnant population (p < 0.001). Although all the anxiety disorders were more common, only the rate of social anxiety disorder was significantly higher among the pregnant than non-pregnant population. Correlates of anxiety disorder in the pregnant population include age less than 25 years (OR 4.62, 95% CI 2.39-8.92), primiparity (OR 3.90, 95% CI 2.00-7.59) and presence of medical conditions (OR 3.60, 95% CI 1.28-10.12). More research is needed in this field to ascertain the specific association between pregnancy and anxiety disorders.
本研究旨在调查尼日利亚晚期妊娠女性焦虑症的发病率及类型。对晚期妊娠女性(n = 172)和非妊娠对照组进行了DSM-IV焦虑症评估。孕妇中任何一种焦虑症的发病率为39.0%,而非妊娠人群为16.3%(p < 0.001)。虽然所有焦虑症在孕妇中都更常见,但只有社交焦虑症在孕妇中的发病率显著高于非妊娠人群。孕妇人群中焦虑症的相关因素包括年龄小于25岁(比值比4.62,95%可信区间2.39 - 8.92)、初产(比值比3.90,95%可信区间2.00 - 7.59)和存在疾病(比值比3.60,95%可信区间1.28 - 10.12)。该领域需要更多研究以确定妊娠与焦虑症之间的具体关联。
