Abstract

Amaç: Son zamanlarda meydana gelen koronavirüs salgını küresel ölçekte son derece önemli bir sağlık sorunu haline geldi. Gebe kadınların psikolojik durumu üzerindeki etkisi hala araştırılmaktadır. Bu çalışma, koronavirüs hastalığı döneminde komplike olmayan gebeliklerin anksiyete ve depresyon puanlarını değerlendirmeyi amaçladı.
Gereçler ve Yöntem: Çalışmaya toplam 98 gebe dahil edildi. Hastalar gebeliğin trimesterlerine göre üç gruba ayrıldı. 21 maddelik Beck anksiyete ve Beck depresyon ölçekleri tüm katılımcılar tarafından tamamlandı. Anksiyete ve depresyon skorları ile grupların demografik bilgileri karşılaştırıldı.
Bulgular: Grup 3'ün anksiyete düzeyi 2. ve 1. gruplardan anlamlı olarak yüksek bulunmuştur (p < 0.001). Grup 3'ün ortalama depresyon skoru grup 1'den anlamlı olarak yüksekti. Farklı eğitim düzeylerinden hastaların depresyon puanları benzerdi. Ancak hastaların eğitim düzeyleri arttıkça anksiyete skorları anlamlı olarak arttığını gözlemledik (p < 0.001).
Sonuç: COVID-19 döneminde, doğuma yaklaşan gebe kadınların depresyon ve anksiyete puanlarının erken gebelikleri olan kadınlara göre önemli ölçüde daha yüksek olabileceğini göstermiştir. Üçüncü trimesterde gebe kadınların antenatal dönem izleminde psikolojik desteğe önem verilmesi gebelik ve doğum sonuçlarını iyileştirmek için gereklidir.

Evaluation of the Anxiety and Depression Scores in Women with Uncomplicated Pregnancies in the Era of Coronavirus Disease 2019: The Experience of a Single Tertiary Center

Abstract

Aim: The recent outbreak of coronavirus has become an extremely significant health issue on a global scale, and its impact on the psychological status of pregnant women is still under investigation. This study aimed to assess the anxiety and depression scores of uncomplicated pregnancies in the age of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).
Materials and Method: A total of 98 pregnant women were included in the study. The patients were divided into three groups according to the trimesters of pregnancy. The 21-item Beck anxiety and Beck depression scales were completed by all participants. Anxiety and depression scores and the demographic information of the groups were compared.
Results: The anxiety level of group 3 was found to be significantly higher than those of groups 2 and groups 1 (p < 0.001). The mean depression score of group 3 was significantly higher than that of group 1. The depression scores of patients from different educational levels were similar; however, it was observed that the higher educational level of patients was significantly correlated with higher anxiety scores (p < 0.001).
Conclusion: Our study showed that during COVID-19, the depression and anxiety scores of pregnant women approaching childbirth may be significantly higher than those of women with early pregnancies. The inclusion of psychological support in routine antenatal care for pregnant women in the third trimester should be considered to improve maternal and fetal outcomes.
