Pregnancy is a unique experience in a woman's life, which comes with physiological, metabolic, social, and psychological changes. The combination of these changes along with migration, may reduce the quality of life of pregnant women and mothers. This study aims to determine the quality of life in rural pregnant women.
A cross-sectional study was conducted. Three hundred pregnant Iranian and Afghan women who attended the public health centers in regional Tehran, Iran, were systematically selected and included in the study. Different dimensions of health status were investigated using the standard health-related quality of life questionnaire (SF-26) through interviews. SPSS version 23 was used for data analysis.
The psychological health subscale (38.00) in the Iranian pregnant women and the physical health subscale (38.83) in the Afghan pregnant women had the highest scores. The lowest score was in social functioning subscale in both groups (20.59 in Iranian and 21.22 in Afghans). In general, Iranian mothers had lower scores compared to Afghan mothers. There was a relationship between the quality of life of Iranian pregnant women, their level of education and family's monthly income (P <0.05), and between the quality of life of Afghan pregnant women with the lesser number of pregnancies (P <0.05).
In rural Iran, the quality of life score and its subscales is comparably low in both Iranian and Afghan pregnant women. Interventions are needed to improve the quality of life in this vulnerable population.
妊娠是女性一生中独特的经历，伴随着生理、代谢、社会和心理变化。这些变化与移民相结合，可能会降低孕妇和母亲的生活质量。本研究旨在确定农村孕妇的生活质量。
本研究采用了横断面研究。在伊朗德黑兰地区的公共卫生中心，系统地选择了 300 名伊朗和阿富汗的孕妇，并将其纳入研究。通过访谈，使用标准的健康相关生活质量问卷（SF-26）调查了不同健康状况维度。使用 SPSS 版本 23 进行数据分析。
伊朗孕妇的心理健康子量表（38.00）和阿富汗孕妇的身体健康子量表（38.83）得分最高。两组的社会功能子量表得分最低（伊朗为 20.59，阿富汗为 21.22）。总体而言，伊朗母亲的得分低于阿富汗母亲。伊朗孕妇的生活质量与其教育水平和家庭月收入有关（P<0.05），阿富汗孕妇的生活质量与其生育次数较少有关（P<0.05）。
在伊朗农村，伊朗和阿富汗孕妇的生活质量评分及其子量表均相对较低。需要采取干预措施来提高这一弱势群体的生活质量。
