Covid-19大流行期间母亲的担忧:一项针对产后妇女的横断面研究

由于母亲往往表现出更高水平的压力、焦虑和抑郁，因此评估Covid-19对怀孕期间和产后心理健康的影响非常重要。本研究旨在探讨新冠肺炎大流行期间产后母亲的担忧，这是一项对600名产后母亲的描述性横断面研究。样本量是根据保健中心覆盖的家庭确定的。被选中的母亲完成了人口调查问卷和剑桥忧虑量表(CWS)。研究参与者的平均年龄为28.9岁(6.3岁)，364名(60.7%)母亲在怀孕期间过度焦虑。对产科病房拥挤的担忧程度最高，平均值为2.48;对母亲健康状况的担忧程度最低，平均值为1.41。我们建议卫生部门采用向母亲提供护理的新方法。还建议由助产士顾问进行测试，以评估母亲在怀孕期间的精神状态
