Abstract
ObjectiveTo investigate the anxiety and depression of pregnant women with spontaneous abortion in the first trimester of pregnancy, and to explore the related influencing factors, so as to provide basis for clinical psychological intervention and treatment.
MethodsDuring August 2015 to February 2016, a total of 70 pregnant women with spontaneous abortions experience and 70 primigravid women at the outpatient department of a ClassⅢ Grade A hospital in Beijing were selected by convenience sampling method. A general questionnaire, Self-rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) and Center for Epidemiologic Studies-Depression Scale (CES-D) were applied in the investigation.
ResultsThere were 8 anxiety cases (11.43%) and 15 depression cases (21.43%) among the 70 pregnant women with spontaneous abortions experience. The scores of SAS and CES-D of the spontaneous abortions group were higher than those of the primigravid group, and the differences were statistically significant (t=2.95, 2.51; P<0.05) . The age and education level of the pregnant women were positively correlated with scores SAS (P<0.05) . The age, times of spontaneous abortion were positively correlated with scores of CES-D (P<0.05) .
ConclusionsThere is prominent anxiety and depression in the first trimester of re-pregnancy women with spontaneous abortion experience, which may be related to the age, education level and the times of spontaneous abortions. The psychological status of pregnant women with spontaneous abortion should be assessed early and appropriate psychological intervention should be given when necessary.
