The aim of this study was to study the association between pregnancy-related anxiety in women, screened during the third trimester, and companionship during their hospitalization.
A case-control study was conducted in which 80 pregnant women over the age of 18 years, at 28 weeks and beyond, and without any diagnosed physical and/or health conditions took part. They were divided into 20 cases and 60 controls. Anxiety was measured using State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) and specific variables were recorded. A descriptive bivariate analysis was performed to compare the chosen variables by means of the chi-squared, Kruskal-Wallis H and Mann-Whitney U tests.
Companionship was associated with a reduction in state and trait anxiety ( p = 0.038 in both dimensions) during hospitalization. Women of the Roma (Gitano) ethnicity developed the most anxiety ( p = 0.019) and primiparous women were at four times greater risk.
The absence of support from a person of trust during hospitalization, together with ethnicity and primiparity, contributed to increased symptoms of anxiety in pregnant women hospitalized during their third trimester. Therefore, involvement by their close social circle is essential for the prevention and/or reduction of anxiety in this population.
本研究旨在探讨孕晚期筛查出的孕妇焦虑与住院期间陪伴之间的关系。
采用病例对照研究，纳入年龄≥18 岁、孕周 28 周及以上且无明确躯体疾病或健康状况的 80 例孕妇。将其分为 20 例病例和 60 例对照。采用状态-特质焦虑量表（STAI）测量焦虑程度，并记录特定变量。采用卡方检验、Kruskal-Wallis H 检验和 Mann-Whitney U 检验进行描述性双变量分析，比较选择变量。
住院期间陪伴与状态和特质焦虑的降低有关（两个维度的 p 值均为 0.038）。罗姆人（吉卜赛人）孕妇焦虑程度最高（p=0.019），初产妇风险增加 4 倍。
住院期间缺乏信任的人的支持，加上种族和初产妇身份，导致住院的孕晚期妇女焦虑症状加重。因此，密切的社会圈子的参与对于预防和/或减轻这一人群的焦虑至关重要。
