The mother's having good mental health during pregnancy is important for the mother's and fetus's health. Lack of social support and staying away from social networks can increase the incidence of depression during pregnancy. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between social support, depressive symptoms and use of social network by pregnant women SUBJECTS AND METHODS: In this descriptive cross-sectional study conducted in the Obstetrics Polyclinics of a training and research hospital, 819 healthy pregnant women whose gestational age was ≥16 weeks were included. To collect the data, the Descriptive Characteristics Form, Social Media Usage Characteristics Form, Multidimensional Perceived Social Support Scale (MSPSS) and Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) were used.
In the study, it was determined that 77.5% of the pregnant women use social networking sites. The difference between the pregnant women who used social media and those who did not according to the presence of depression symptoms was found to be significant (p<0.05) In the study, it was determined that there was a statistically significant difference between pregnant women's MSPSS family, friend, special person subscale total score averages and BDI (p<0.05). İt was determined that the pregnant women who did not show depression symptoms used social networking sites 0.65 times more than those who did (OR:0.65). Those with high special person MSPSS scores are 1.1 times more likely to use social networking sites than others (OR:1.1).
In the study, it was found that pregnant women who use social networking sites receive more social support from their spouses and families than those who do not, and more depressive symptoms are observed in pregnant women who do not use social networking sites. Increased social support may improve maternal mental health during pregnancy and this relationship should be evaluated in longitudinal studies.
孕期母亲保持良好的心理健康对母亲和胎儿的健康都很重要。缺乏社会支持以及远离社交网络会增加孕期抑郁症的发病率。本研究的目的是确定孕妇的社会支持、抑郁症状与社交网络使用之间的关系。
在一家培训和研究医院的妇产科门诊进行的这项描述性横断面研究中，纳入了819名孕周≥16周的健康孕妇。为收集数据，使用了描述性特征表、社交媒体使用特征表、多维感知社会支持量表（MSPSS）和贝克抑郁量表（BDI）。
在该研究中，确定77.5%的孕妇使用社交网站。发现根据抑郁症状的存在情况，使用社交媒体的孕妇与未使用的孕妇之间存在显著差异（p<0.05）。在该研究中，确定孕妇的MSPSS家庭、朋友、特殊人物分量表总分平均值与BDI之间存在统计学显著差异（p<0.05）。确定未表现出抑郁症状的孕妇使用社交网站的次数比有抑郁症状的孕妇多0.65倍（OR：0.65）。特殊人物MSPSS得分高的孕妇使用社交网站的可能性比其他人高1.1倍（OR：1.1）。
在该研究中，发现使用社交网站的孕妇比未使用的孕妇从配偶和家庭获得更多的社会支持，且未使用社交网站的孕妇观察到更多的抑郁症状。增加社会支持可能会改善孕期母亲的心理健康，这种关系应在纵向研究中进行评估。
