Abstract

Background: Anxiety is common during the perinatal period and despite effective treatments being available, many women with perinatal anxiety disorders experience barriers when accessing treatment.

Aims: The aims of the current study were to explore women's perceived barriers to treatment uptake; cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) treatment delivery preferences; and the utility of the Health Belief Model (HBM) in predicting intention to seek psychological help for women with perinatal anxiety symptoms.

Method: This study employed a cross-sectional design consisting of women with self-reported anxiety in the perinatal period. A total of 216 women (M_age=28.53 years; SD=4.97) participated in the study by completing a battery of online self-report measures.

Results: The results indicated that the most salient barriers to accessing care were: (1) the cost of treatment, (2) wanting to solve the problem on their own, and (3) thinking the problem would go away without treatment. Group-delivered CBT was the least acceptable treatment method, while face-to-face individual CBT was the most acceptable treatment method. The HBM variables predicted approximately 35% of the variance in help-seeking intention.

Discussion: This study has important implications for the delivery of psychological care in the perinatal period and may be used to improve treatment uptake.

围产期焦虑症状妇女的求助和治疗方式偏好

背景:焦虑在围产期很常见，尽管有有效的治疗方法，但许多患有围产期焦虑症的妇女在获得治疗时遇到障碍。目的:本研究的目的是探讨妇女接受治疗的感知障碍;认知行为疗法(CBT)的治疗方式偏好;健康信念模型(HBM)在预测围产期焦虑症状妇女寻求心理帮助意愿中的应用。方法:本研究采用横断面设计，包括围生期自我报告焦虑的妇女。女性216例(年龄28.53岁;SD=4.97)通过完成一系列在线自我报告测量来参与研究。结果:结果表明，获得医疗服务的最突出障碍是:(1)治疗费用;(2)希望自己解决问题;(3)认为不治疗问题就会消失。小组交付的CBT是最不被接受的治疗方法，而面对面的个人CBT是最被接受的治疗方法。HBM变量预测了约35%的求助意向方差。讨论:本研究对围产期心理护理的提供具有重要意义，并可用于提高治疗的吸收。

期刊介绍： An international multidisciplinary journal aimed primarily at members of the helping and teaching professions. Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapy features original research papers, covering both experimental and clinical work, that contribute to the theory, practice and evolution of cognitive and behaviour therapy. The journal aims to reflect and influence the continuing changes in the concepts, methodology, and techniques of behavioural and cognitive psychotherapy. A particular feature of the journal is its broad ranging scope - both in terms of topics and types of study covered. Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapy encompasses most areas of human behaviour and experience, and represents many different research methods, from randomized controlled trials to detailed case studies.
