A Comparison Of Healthy Lifestyle Behaviors And Depression In Pre-Eclampsy Pregnancy

Abstract

Purpose: It is thought that there is a relationship between healthy lifestyle behaviors and depression in preeclampsia, which is frequently encountered during pregnancy. Materials and Methods: This is a descriptive design study. The sample comprised 168 pregnant women, including pregnant women with preeclampsia and healthy pregnant women. The data were collected with the Descriptive Information Form, the Healthy Lifestyle Behavior Scale-II, and the Beck Depression Scale. Appropriate statistical methods were utilized in the evaluation of the study. Results: According to the results, the healthy lifestyle behaviors scale mean scores of pregnant women with preeclampsia were higher than those of healthy pregnant women. No statistically significant difference was seen between preeclampsia and healthy pregnant women in terms of the mean Beck depression scores. A negative, weak, linear relationship was found between Beck scores and healthy lifestyle behaviors scale total scores in pregnant women with. As Beck scale scores increased, healthy lifestyle behaviors scale total scores decreased. Conclusion: The mean scores of health responsibility, spiritual development, and stress management sub-scales of healthy lifestyle behaviors were higher in preeclamptic pregnant women than healthy pregnant women. It is recommended to determine women's pre-pregnancy health behaviors and explore their negative behaviors for maternal and infant health.
