Depression affects up to 23% of pregnant women and is associated with adverse physical/mental health outcomes for both the mother and baby. Depressed pregnant women may be more likely to engage in unhealthy lifestyle behaviors that contribute to an increased risk for chronic disease. Little is known regarding depressed pregnant women's perceptions, uses of, and interests in complementary health approaches. Study participants (mean age 28.7 ± 6.8; n = 1032) included pregnant women ≥8 weeks gestation who responded to a survey assessing physical and mental health and wellness practices. Of those completing the survey, depressed pregnant women (n = 272) had significantly higher levels of anxiety (P < .001) and stress (P < .001) and had poorer sleep quality (P < .001), mindfulness (P < .001), and social support (P < .001) compared to nondepressed pregnant women (n = 760). A majority (84%) of depressed pregnant women would consider using a complementary health approach for weight and/or stress management during pregnancy, and more than 50% were interested in yoga.
抑郁症影响着多达23%的孕妇,并与母婴的不良身心健康结局相关。抑郁的孕妇可能更有可能采取不健康的生活方式行为,从而增加患慢性病的风险。关于抑郁孕妇对补充健康方法的认知、使用情况和兴趣,我们所知甚少。研究参与者(平均年龄28.7±6.8岁;n = 1032)包括妊娠≥8周的孕妇,她们对一项评估身心健康和健康行为的调查做出了回应。在完成调查的人中,与非抑郁孕妇(n = 760)相比,抑郁孕妇(n = 272)的焦虑水平(P < .001)、压力水平(P < .001)显著更高,睡眠质量(P < .001)、正念(P < .001)和社会支持(P < .001)更差。大多数(84%)抑郁孕妇会考虑在孕期使用补充健康方法来控制体重和/或缓解压力,超过50%的人对瑜伽感兴趣。
