The appearance of a highly contagious disease forced the confinement of the population in almost all parts of the world, causing an increase in psychological problems, with pregnant women being a particularly vulnerable group to suffer negative consequences. The aim of this research was to check which confinement or psychological stress variables are related to the increase of anxious and depressive symptoms in pregnant women, as a consequence of the pandemic caused by the COVID-19.
The sample was composed of 131 pregnant women who experienced the confinement imposed by the Government of Spain on March 14, 2020. Sociodemographic, obstetric, confinement related and psychological variables were collected.
Perceived stress, pregnancy-specific stress, as well as insomnia are predictive variables in most anxious (obsessions and compulsions, anxiety and phobic anxiety) and depressive symptoms related to COVID-19.
It is important to focus future psychological interventions in this population on stress control and sleep monitoring, since these variables influence the increase of anxiety and depression.
一种极具传染性疾病的出现迫使世界几乎所有地区的人群都被隔离,导致心理问题增加,孕妇是特别容易受到负面影响的群体。本研究旨在检查哪些隔离或心理压力变量与 COVID-19 大流行期间孕妇焦虑和抑郁症状的增加有关。
该样本由 131 名于 2020 年 3 月 14 日经历西班牙政府强制隔离的孕妇组成。收集了社会人口统计学、产科、与隔离相关和心理变量。
感知压力、特定于妊娠的压力以及失眠是与 COVID-19 相关的大多数焦虑(强迫症、焦虑和恐惧症)和抑郁症状的预测变量。
未来针对该人群的心理干预措施应重点关注控制压力和监测睡眠,因为这些变量会影响焦虑和抑郁的增加。
