This study aimed to investigate and monitor the mental health status of pregnant women during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The meta-analysis was used to study the literatures on the psychology of pregnant women in four databases until Sep 27, 2020.
A total of 19 articles were included in the final meta-analysis. The overall prevalence of anxiety was 42 % (95 %CI 26 %-57 %) with substantial heterogeneity (I = 99.6 %). The overall prevalence of depression was 25 % (95 %CI 20 %-31 %) with substantial heterogeneity (I = 97.9 %). Age, family economic status, social support, and physical activity seem to correlate with the mental health status of pregnant women.
The prevalence of anxiety and depression among pregnant women increased significantly during the COVID-19 epidemic. Pregnant women are more concerned about others than themselves during COVID-19, and younger pregnant women seem to be more prone to anxiety, while social support and physical activity can reduce the likelihood of anxiety and depression. It is necessary to take some psychological intervention measures for pregnant women to help them go through this special period safely and smoothly.
本研究旨在调查和监测 COVID-19 大流行期间孕妇的心理健康状况。
本研究采用荟萃分析方法，检索了截至 2020 年 9 月 27 日四个数据库中关于孕妇心理学的文献。
最终共有 19 篇文章纳入荟萃分析。焦虑的总患病率为 42%（95%CI 26%-57%），存在较大异质性（I=99.6%）。抑郁的总患病率为 25%（95%CI 20%-31%），存在较大异质性（I=97.9%）。年龄、家庭经济状况、社会支持和体育活动似乎与孕妇的心理健康状况相关。
COVID-19 大流行期间，孕妇的焦虑和抑郁患病率显著增加。与自身相比，孕妇在 COVID-19 期间更关心他人，年轻孕妇似乎更容易出现焦虑，而社会支持和体育活动可以降低焦虑和抑郁的发生概率。有必要对孕妇采取一些心理干预措施，帮助她们安全顺利地度过这个特殊时期。
