Network analysis of postpartum depression, sleep problems, psychological birth trauma, and quality of life in women with high-risk pregnancy
Background
Women with high-risk pregnancies often experience postpartum depression, birth trauma, and sleep disturbances, which can significantly affect their quality of life (QOL). Understanding the links between these issues is crucial for developing effective interventions to improve postpartum health outcomes.
Objective
The aim of this study was to explore the relationship of postpartum depression, psychological birth trauma, and sleep disturbances, and their impact on QOL in women with high-risk pregnancies.
Methods
A cross-sectional study was conducted with 769 women who had high-risk pregnancies. Data was collected using the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS), Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), Psychological Birth Trauma Scale (PBTS), and Short Form-12 (SF-12) to assess depressive symptoms, sleep quality, psychological birth trauma, and QOL. Network analysis was employed to identify central and bridge symptoms and their relationships with QOL.
Findings
The network analysis revealed that “Daytime dysfunction” was the most central symptom, followed by “Subjective sleep quality,” “Enjoyment of activities,” and “Being neglected.” Five bridge symptoms were identified: “Daytime dysfunction,” “Physiological emotional response,” “Being neglected,” “Anxiety,” and “Sleep duration.” Among the psychological birth trauma symptoms, “Physiological emotional response” showed the strongest direct correlation with QOL.
Discussion
This study highlights how postpartum depression, psychological birth trauma, and sleep disturbances collectively affect quality of life (QOL) in women with high-risk pregnancies. These findings underscore the need for interventions that address both physical and emotional symptoms to improve postpartum health outcomes.
Conclusion
Targeting key symptoms, such as “Daytime dysfunction” and “Physiological emotional response,” with tailored interventions could significantly improve postpartum health outcomes and enhance QOL for women with high-risk pregnancies.
