Pregnancy is the most important event in women's lives and can lead to psychological lability. Several risk factors (such as disasters, events and pandemics) have been correlated with greater prevalence of mental disorders during pregnancy.
To research how pregnant women have been affected by the coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) pandemic process, in order to contribute to the limited literature.
Cross-sectional survey study conducted at the Training and Research Hospital of the Faculty of Medicine, University of Ordu, Ordu, Turkey, from February 1 to March 1, 2021.
In total, 356 pregnant women were enrolled and completed the survey. Intention of going to hospital and the Beck anxiety, Beck depression, Beck hopelessness and Epworth sleepiness scales were applied to detect mental disorders.
Among the participants, the anxiety, depression, hopelessness and sleepiness scores were 29.2%, 36.2%, 58.1% and 11.8%, respectively. The pregnant women stated that they avoided going to hospital in unnecessary situations by obeying the 'stay at home' calls, but also stated that they were afraid of the potential harmful effects of inadequate physician control. However, most of them stated that they would go to the hospital in emergencies.
This paper illustrated the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on the mental health of pregnant women and emphasized their high rates of anxiety, depression, hopelessness and sleepiness. Since presence of mental disorders is indirectly related to poor pregnancy outcomes, preventive strategies should be developed, especially during this pandemic process.
妊娠是女性生命中最重要的事件，可能导致心理不稳定。一些风险因素（如灾害、事件和大流行）与妊娠期间精神障碍的更高患病率相关。
研究冠状病毒病-19（COVID-19）大流行过程如何影响孕妇，以补充有限的文献。
2021 年 2 月 1 日至 3 月 1 日，在土耳其奥鲁德大学医学院培训和研究医院进行的横断面调查研究。
共纳入 356 名孕妇并完成了调查。采用意向去医院和贝克焦虑、贝克抑郁、贝克绝望和爱泼沃斯嗜睡量表来检测精神障碍。
在参与者中，焦虑、抑郁、绝望和嗜睡评分分别为 29.2%、36.2%、58.1%和 11.8%。孕妇表示，他们通过遵守“呆在家里”的呼吁，避免在不必要的情况下去医院，但也表示他们担心医生控制不足可能产生的有害影响。然而，他们中的大多数人表示，他们会在紧急情况下去医院。
本文说明了 COVID-19 大流行对孕妇心理健康的影响，并强调了她们焦虑、抑郁、绝望和嗜睡的高发病率。由于精神障碍的存在与不良妊娠结局间接相关，应制定预防策略，特别是在这一大流行过程中。
