Anxiety Levels of Patients Hospitalized for Labor During the SARS-CoV-2 Pandemic

Abstract

Aim: The aim of this study is to investigate the anxiety conditions of low-risk term pregnant women hospitalized for labor during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. Materials and Method: This cross-sectional survey study includes 200 low-risk term pregnant women hospitalized for delivery. Sociodemographic and obstetric data were collected. Women's anxiety were examined using Spielberger State-Trait Anxiety Inventory questionnaire form at admission. Total scores greater than 50 were classified as pathological levels of anxiety. Results: The mean trait score was 36.99±10.08 and the mean state score was 41.03±8.89, and the difference between these two scores was statistical significant. State and trait scores were higher in women who had contact with covid-infected people than those who did not. There was a significant positive correlation between state and trait scores. The history of contact with covid 19 infected person and the presence of pathological trait anxity were determined as significant factors for the presence of pathological state anxiety related to SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. Conclusion: Pregnant women with history of contact with covid 19 infected person or with pathological trait anxiety have higher state anxiety during COVID-19 outbreak. It is important to identify women with high risk of developing anxiety in order to provide early psychological interventions.
