Anna Kajdy et al.

Summary: This study examines risk factors for anxiety and depression among pregnant women during the COVID-19 pandemic. The results indicate that pregnant women in high-income economies experience higher levels of anxiety and depression. Factors such as the need for psychiatric treatment before pregnancy, restrictions in social distancing and access to leisure activities, pregnancy-related complications, fear of adverse outcomes in children related to COVID-19, and financial burden are associated with increased risk of anxiety and depression during pregnancy.

Effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on anxiety and depressive symptoms in pregnant women: a preliminary study

Ferit Durankus et al.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the depression and anxiety levels of pregnant women. The results showed significant impacts of the pandemic on psychology, social isolation, and depression and anxiety scores, with more severe effects in the case group. Regression analysis also revealed significant associations between depression and anxiety levels and the psychological and social isolation effects of the disease. Therefore, providing psychosocial support to pregnant women during the crisis is crucial to prevent adverse events for both mothers and fetuses.

The Prevalence of Fear of Childbirth and Its Association With Intolerance of Uncertainty and Coping Styles Among Pregnant Chinese Women During the COVID-19 Pandemic

Lingli Han et al.

Summary: This study investigated the prevalence and risk factors of fear of childbirth among Chinese pregnant women and found that primiparas, unplanned pregnancy, lack of spousal support, intolerance of uncertainty, and negative coping styles were significant risk factors. Women who adopted positive coping strategies experienced lower levels of childbirth fear. These findings suggest that cultivating positive coping styles and obtaining sufficient childbirth information may be beneficial for mothers' mental health.

Anxiety, Stress, and Social Support in Pregnant Women in the Province of Leon during COVID-19 Disease

Ruben Garcia-Fernandez et al.

Summary: The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on the mental health of the entire population, particularly pregnant women who experience increased anxiety and stress. This study aimed to explore the anxiety and stress levels of women in the first trimester of pregnancy during the pandemic and their relationship with social support. The results showed that 78.3% of women experienced anxiety, and self-perceived stress was significantly correlated with concerns about changes in oneself, feelings about oneself, concerns about the future, and weakly correlated with social support. Additionally, there was a negative correlation between feelings about oneself and social support. Overall, the findings suggest that anxiety levels were elevated among pregnant women during the COVID-19 pandemic, and increased social support and decreased stress may influence feelings about oneself.

Fear of Coronavirus, Stress and Fear of Childbirth in Polish Pregnant Women during the COVID-19 Pandemic

Joanna Dymecka et al.

Summary: The study found a significant, moderate, and positive relationship between fear of COVID-19, perceived stress, and fear of childbirth, with fear of COVID-19 acting as a statistically significant mediator between perceived stress and fear of childbirth. The COVID-19 pandemic has a negative emotional impact on pregnant women, causing fear, stress, and increased fear of childbirth, leading women to perceive childbirth during the pandemic as a threat to their well-being and health. Supporting women in the perinatal period and ensuring safe childbirth is therefore crucial.
