This study aims to explore the correlation between different social support patterns and perinatal mental health, and the mediating role of social trust in this. A cross-sectional survey was conducted in Jiangsu, China, with a sample size of 1705 pregnant respondents. Latent class analysis (LCA) was utilized to identify various social support patterns, while a multiple regression model was employed to analyze the mediating effect of social trust on the relationship between social support patterns and perinatal mental health. The study found four distinct social support patterns among the respondents: primary relationship-centric support, overall weak support, primary-secondary relationship-balanced support, and overall strong support. In the relationship between social support patterns and perinatal mental health, social trust played both a partial and full mediating role. The findings indicate that a social support system that enhances maternal trust and promotes honest disclosure of symptoms can effectively promote perinatal mental health.
本研究旨在探讨不同社会支持模式与围产期心理健康之间的相关性，以及社会信任在其中的中介作用。采用横断面调查方法，在中国江苏省抽取了 1705 名孕妇作为研究对象。运用潜在类别分析（LCA）识别不同的社会支持模式，采用多元回归模型分析社会信任在社会支持模式与围产期心理健康之间关系中的中介作用。研究发现，受访者存在四种不同的社会支持模式：以原生关系为中心的支持、整体支持薄弱、原生关系和次生关系平衡支持、整体支持较强。在社会支持模式与围产期心理健康的关系中，社会信任发挥了部分和完全的中介作用。研究结果表明，一个能够增强母亲信任和促进症状如实披露的社会支持系统，可以有效地促进围产期心理健康。
