Abstract

Background: Perinatal mental health is a topic of growing interest, that could affect mothers in a period of high vulnerability, and the impact of coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) pandemic is an important factor to consider in this field. The aim of our study is to study the correlations between five dimensions of personality and subjective Covid-19-related distress in a sample of women in the perinatal period.

Methods: The study included 114 Italian women in the perinatal period. Subjects were asked to complete the Big Five Inventory (BIG-5) and a version of the Impact of Event Scale - Revised (IES-R) anchored to Covid-19-related distress.

Results: When the BIG-5 personality traits and several confounding variables were included in a regression model with IES-R total score as criterion, neuroticism subscale of BIG-5 inventory was the only variable independently associated with higher IES-R total score (p<0.001).

Conclusion: Our study highlights the importance of considering the personality vulnerability factors that can worsen psychopathological symptoms of women in the perinatal period, especially in periods of high psychological stress.

围产期心理健康与 Covid-19 相关困扰：人格特质的作用。

背景：围产期心理健康是一个日益受到关注的话题，它可能会影响到处于高度脆弱期的母亲，而冠状病毒病2019（Covid-19）大流行的影响是这一领域需要考虑的一个重要因素。我们的研究旨在研究围产期妇女样本中人格的五个维度与主观Covid-19相关困扰之间的相关性：研究对象包括 114 名意大利围产期妇女。受试者被要求完成大五人格量表（BIG-5）和事件影响量表-修订版（IES-R），该量表锚定了与 Covid-19 相关的困扰：结果：在以 IES-R 总分为标准的回归模型中纳入 BIG-5 人格特质和几个混杂变量时，BIG-5 量表中的神经质分量表是唯一一个与较高的 IES-R 总分独立相关的变量（p）：我们的研究强调了考虑人格脆弱性因素的重要性，这些因素可能会加重围产期妇女的精神病理症状，尤其是在高心理压力时期。
