Anxiety is a common perinatal disorder that can cause severe adverse consequences. This study (a) assesses the prevalence of maternal postnatal anxious symptomatology, and (b) analyses its association with demographic and socioeconomic variables as well as obstetric and other psychosocial variables. The assessment included 307 mothers aged ≥18 years with a biological baby aged ≤ 52 weeks and from seven Italian healthcare centres, evaluated using a Psychosocial and Clinical Assessment Form (also covering demographic and socioeconomic factors), and the state scale of the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory. We found an overall prevalence of self-reported postnatal anxious symptoms of 34.2%. More specifically, the prevalence was 34.5% at 1-24 weeks postpartum, and 30.8% at >24 weeks postpartum. No associations between postnatal anxious symptoms and demographic or socioeconomic variables were observed. As regards the other variables, the findings indicated antenatal depression or anxiety, parity, and current psychological support from the partner as having the strongest relationships.
焦虑是一种常见的围产期疾病，可导致严重的不良后果。本研究 (a) 评估产妇产后焦虑症状的患病率，(b) 分析其与人口统计学和社会经济变量以及产科和其他心理社会变量之间的关联。评估对象包括来自意大利七个医疗中心的307名年龄≥18岁、亲生孩子年龄≤52周的母亲，使用心理社会和临床评估表（也涵盖人口统计学和社会经济因素）以及状态-特质焦虑量表的状态量表进行评估。我们发现自我报告的产后焦虑症状总体患病率为34.2%。更具体地说，产后1-24周患病率为34.5%，产后>24周患病率为30.8%。未观察到产后焦虑症状与人口统计学或社会经济变量之间存在关联。至于其他变量，研究结果表明产前抑郁或焦虑、产次以及伴侣目前提供的心理支持之间的关系最为密切。
