To evaluate the presence of psychological distress (PD) and its association with the mental health and coping styles of pregnant women living with HIV (PWLWH).
An observational, cross-sectional descriptive study was performed. Seventy-three PWLWH were included. Patients responded to a psychometric battery for PD, depression, anxiety, stress, and coping style evaluation. The scales used in the study were: Goldberg's 30-item General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-30), State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI), Zung Depression Self-Measurement Scale (ZDS), Nowack Stress Profile, Lazarus and Folkman's Coping Styles Questionnaire.
PD was observed in 31.5% of the participants. PD-positive patients showed a higher probability of presenting traits of depression and anxiety and medium/high stress levels. Besides, they preferentially used emotion-focused coping styles.
PD is associated with a higher probability of presenting anxiety and depression in PWLWH. Emotion-focused coping style could be a factor in decision-making associated with risk behaviors in PWLWH.
评估心理困扰(PD)的存在及其与 HIV 阳性孕妇(PWLWH)的心理健康和应对方式的关系。
进行了一项观察性、横断面描述性研究。共纳入 73 名 PWLWH。患者回答了 PD、抑郁、焦虑、压力和应对方式评估的心理计量学测试。研究中使用的量表有:Goldberg 的 30 项一般健康问卷(GHQ-30)、状态-特质焦虑量表(STAI)、Zung 抑郁自评量表(ZDS)、Nowack 压力量表、Lazarus 和 Folkman 的应对方式问卷。
31.5%的参与者存在 PD。PD 阳性患者表现出更高的抑郁和焦虑特质以及中/高压力水平的可能性。此外,他们更倾向于使用情绪聚焦的应对方式。
PD 与 PWLWH 出现焦虑和抑郁的可能性增加有关。情绪聚焦的应对方式可能是与 PWLWH 的风险行为相关的决策中的一个因素。
