“…In the present study, pregnant women's perinatal depression was associated with a lower educational level and a worse economic status, whereas women's age, nationality, and marital and employment status were not considerably related to depression during pregnancy. In agreement with our results, several previous studies have also shown that pregnant women's perinatal depression is related to a lower educational level and a worse economic status [73][74][75][76]. However, some studies have demonstrated conflicting results, reporting a higher or a lower prevalence of perinatal depression of pregnant women [77].…”

Background: In recent decades, the incidence of depression has gradually increased in the general population globally. Depression is also common during gestation and could result in detrimental gestational complications for both the mother and the fetus. The survey presented aimed to evaluate whether pregnant women’s perinatal depression could be associated with socio-demographic, anthropometry and lifestyle factors, and perinatal and postnatal outcomes. Methods: This is a cross-sectional survey conducted on 5314 pregnant women. Socio-demographic and lifestyle factors were recorded by relevant questionnaires via face-to-face interviews. Anthropometric parameters were measured by qualified personnel. Perinatal depressive symptomatology status was evaluated by Beck’s Depression Inventory (BDI-II) questionnaire. Results: Depressive symptoms throughout gestation were found in 35.1% of the enrolled women. Perinatal depression was significantly associated with lower educational and economic level, pre-pregnancy regular smoking and reduced levels of Mediterranean diet adherence levels, a higher prevalence of gestational diabetes and preterm birth, as well as a higher incidence of delivering by caesarean section and abnormal childbirth weight. Perinatal depression was also significantly associated with a higher prevalence of maternal postpartum depression and lower prevalence of exclusive breastfeeding practices, as well as with a higher incidence of childhood asthma. Conclusions: Pregnant women’s perinatal depression appears to be associated with various socio-demographic, anthropometry, and lifestyle characteristics and with a higher frequency of several adverse pregnancy complications. The present findings emphasize the importance of pregnant women’s perinatal mental health, highlighting the need to develop and apply public strategies and policies for psychological counseling and support of future mothers to minimize probable risk factors that may trigger perinatal depression. Novel well-organized, follow-up surveys of enhanced validity are highly recommended to establish more definitive conclusions.

Background The problem of maternal mental health is a priority issue of global concern. Dyadic coping refers to the co-managing and making decisions between two parties in response to a joint stressful event. At present, china has limited focus on dyadic coping for pregnant women during pregnancy. This study aimed to investigate different categories and characteristics of dyadic coping in pregnant women throughout pregnancy and to analyze the factors that influence these categories. Methods This study was a cross-sectional, and 376 pregnant women who visited the obstetric clinic at a tertiary hospital in Sichuan province from June to September 2023 were interviewed face-to-face using convenience sampling. Data were collected using a sociodemographic questionnaire, dyadic coping scale, and family adaptability and cohesion evaluation scale. The data were imported into excel and exported to spss 27.0 to analyze the potential characteristics of pregnant women’s dyadic coping during pregnancy and to explore the effects of this using univariate analysis and multifactorial logistic regression. Results A total of 376 valid questionnaires were collected. The results of the potential profile analysis showed that the dyadic coping of pregnant women during pregnancy could be categorized into three different groups: the “low coping group” (21.3%), the “general coping group” (67.5%), and the “high coping group” (11.2%). Multiple logistic regression analyses revealed that low monthly family income, early pregnancy, primipara, family adaptability and cohesion were the factors influencing the dyadic coping of pregnant women during pregnancy. Conclusion During pregnancy, pregnant women exhibit moderate levels of dyadic coping. Three different categories of dyadic coping patterns were exhibited: low coping group, general coping group, and high coping group, with significant heterogeneity. Therefore, there is a need to focus on the dyadic coping status of various categories of pregnant women and implement targeted couple and family-wide interventions.
