Relation of recurrent pregnancy loss and infertility on dream anxiety and insomnia

Abstract

Purpose: There are many factors affecting the physiological and psychological health of women during pregnancy. This study investigated the differences between dream anxiety and insomnia statuses of normal pregnancies and pregnancies with histories of primary infertility or recurrent pregnancy losses. Materials and Methods: This descriptive correlational study data was collected in the Obstetrics Outpatient clinic of a private hospital located in Istanbul. This descriptive correlational study included 49 healthy pregnant women, 49 infertile pregnant women, 49 pregnant women with histories of recurrent pregnancy losses. The study data was collected using the 44-item Maternal Information Form (MIF), the Van Dream Anxiety Scale (VDAS), and the Insomnia Severity Index (ISI). Results: The mean VDAS and ISI scores obtained by pregnant women with histories of primary infertility (24.9 ± 6.5 and 11.1 ± 3.7, respectively) and pregnant women with histories of recurrent pregnancy losses (26.3 ± 8.7 and 12.6 ± 4.2, respectively) were statistically significantly higher than those obtained by healthy pregnant women (18.7 ± 6.5 and 7.8 ± 2.4, respectively). There were no significant differences between the VDAS and ISI scores of pregnant women with histories of primary infertility and those of the pregnant women with histories of recurrent pregnancy losses. Conclusion: Pregnant women with histories of primary infertility or recurrent pregnancy losses experienced significantly more dream anxiety and insomnia than women with healthy pregnancies. Healthcare professionals should assess women's mental statuses and provide appropriate health care to women during pregnancy.
