We investigate the relationship between period poverty and anxiety and depression in women aged from 18 to 50 years in the context of the first French Covid-19 lockdown. 890 participants completed an online survey. Anxiety was assessed with the General Anxiety Disorder scale, depression with the Major Depression Inventory. 9.6% of participants experienced difficulties accessing period protection during the first lockdown. Among the women experiencing period poverty, 49.4% showed depressive symptoms compared to 28.6% of the women who had not experienced menstrual poverty, 40% showed anxious symptoms (vs 24.1%). The relationships between period poverty, depression and are significant even in adjusted models controlled by sociodemographics variables (depression: AOR = 2.191 [1.372 - 3.499]; anxiety: AOR = 1.793, [1.110 - 2.897]). As clinicians, psychologists or social workers, it seems interesting to go beyond the first symptoms of depression and anxiety and question the patients' access to menstrual health products.
在法国首次实施新冠疫情封锁的背景下，我们调查了18至50岁女性的经期贫困与焦虑和抑郁之间的关系。890名参与者完成了一项在线调查。焦虑状况通过广泛性焦虑障碍量表进行评估，抑郁状况通过重度抑郁量表进行评估。在首次封锁期间，9.6%的参与者在获取经期防护用品方面遇到困难。在经历经期贫困的女性中，49.4%表现出抑郁症状，而未经历经期贫困的女性这一比例为28.6%；40%表现出焦虑症状（未经历经期贫困的女性这一比例为24.1%）。即使在由社会人口统计学变量控制的调整模型中，经期贫困与抑郁和焦虑之间的关系依然显著（抑郁：比值比=2.191 [1.372 - 3.499]；焦虑：比值比=1.793，[1.110 - 2.897]）。作为临床医生、心理学家或社会工作者，超越抑郁和焦虑的最初症状，询问患者获取经期卫生用品的情况似乎很有意义。
