It is widely recognized that the COVID-19 pandemic has adversely affected the psychological well-being of pregnant and postpartum women. Consequently, it is of the utmost importance to identify effective strategies that can mitigate the negative emotional experiences of pregnant women during any pandemic period.
This review seeks to identify the most effective approaches to managing stress among pregnant women during the COVID-19 pandemic and emphasizes the significance of providing support to pregnant women throughout this period.
A comprehensive literature review was conducted, and studies that met the inclusion criteria were analysed. The primary criterion was that the studies examined strategies employed by pregnant women to cope with stress during the COVID-19 pandemic.
A total of 16 studies were included in the analysis. Adaptive coping strategies were found to be more effective in ameliorating the impact of the pandemic on mental health compared to dysfunctional coping strategies. While pregnant women generally exhibited maladaptive coping behaviours, psychological support and promoting beneficial coping strategies were the most frequently described methods for improving their mental health during the pandemic and preventing adverse outcomes of pregnancy. Additionally, avoiding misinformation and seeking social and family support were considered essential components of effective support.
It is crucial to prioritize psychological, emotional and mental health support for pregnant women during the pandemic.

本综述旨在确定新冠疫情期间管理孕妇压力的最有效方法，并强调在此期间为孕妇提供支持的重要性。
进行了全面的文献综述，并对符合纳入标准的研究进行了分析。主要标准是这些研究考察了孕妇在新冠疫情期间应对压力所采用的策略。
分析共纳入16项研究。与功能失调的应对策略相比，适应性应对策略在减轻疫情对心理健康的影响方面更有效。虽然孕妇普遍表现出适应不良的应对行为，但心理支持和促进有益的应对策略是疫情期间改善其心理健康和预防不良妊娠结局最常描述的方法。此外，避免错误信息和寻求社会及家庭支持被认为是有效支持的重要组成部分。
在疫情期间，优先为孕妇提供心理、情感和心理健康支持至关重要。
