The effect of obstetric features on depression, anxiety and stress levels in pregnant women during the SARS-COV 2 (COVID-19)

Abstract

Aim:This study was carried out to determine the effect of obstetric characteristics of pregnant women who had relatives diagnosed with SARS-COV2 (COVID-19) on depression, anxiety and stress levels. Material and Methods:This descriptive study was conducted between 17 April 2020 and 30 May 2020 with 450 pregnant women in the Obstetrician Clinic of a private hospital in Istanbul. The study data were collected face-to-face with the Introductory Information Form, State-Trait Anxiety Index (STAI), and the Depression Anxiety Stress Scale (DASS-21). Results:All pregnant women were aware of COVID-19 pandemic (100.0%), and 40.0% of them had a relative diagnosed with COVID-19. A total of 64.4% of those with no relatives diagnosed with COVID-19 had depression, 80.4% had anxiety and 81.5% had stress. A total of 100.0% of those who had relatives diagnosed with COVID-19 had depression, anxiety, and stress (DASS). Conclusions:It was found that DASS-21 scores were high in all pregnant women who had relatives diagnosed with COVID-19. Presence of chronic diseases and parity count were decisive in depression and anxiety levels in pregnant women who had relatives diagnosed with COVID-19, unlike those who did not. Clinical evaluations should be made carefully with this situation in mind..
