“…The idea of combining positive and negative factors as determinants of mental health was undertaken in studies on adaptation to pregnancy [ 41 , 42 , 52 , 53 , 54 ]. A similar approach also appeared in the study by Hain et al [ 55 ] on antepartum and postpartum depression.…”

“…Women who plan a pregnancy have more positive attitudes about pregnancy and are more aware of changes that motherhood may bring [ 39 , 40 ]. There is empirical evidence that positive attitudes toward motherhood and pregnancy represent an important predictor for some aspects of psychological well-being [ 41 ], but anxiety attitudes can be negative determinants of the subjective happiness of pregnant women [ 42 ]. Maladaptive maternal attitudes predict depressive symptoms during pregnancy and the postpartum period in first-time mothers [ 43 ].…”

Background: Depressive symptoms during pregnancy may cause unfavorable consequences for both the mother and the infant’s physiological and psychological health. Recent evidence indicates that body image plays an important role in prenatal depression. The present study’s main purpose was to investigate the level of acceptance of physical appearance in pregnant women, their attitudes toward pregnancy and maternity, and some obstetric characteristics as significant predictors in the development of depression. Methods: A sample of 150 Polish pregnant women completed a set of self-report questionnaires, including the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS), Attitudes toward Maternity and Pregnancy Questionnaire (PRE-MAMA), and the Body-Self Questionnaire (EA-BSQ). All participants also answered a brief sociodemographic and obstetric information questionnaire. Results: A hierarchical binary logistic regression was conducted to predict prenatal depression from selected obstetric variables (unplanned pregnancy, multiparity, and miscarriages) and psychological variables (appearance evaluation and positive or anxious attitudes toward pregnancy and maternity). It was found that higher levels of negative evaluation of appearance increased chances of depression in pregnant women by almost one-and-a-half. The analysis revealed that positive attitudes toward pregnancy and maternity were the most important protective factor for depression. Conclusions: The results confirmed the importance of dissatisfaction with body image during pregnancy as a predictor of the onset of prenatal depression. However, in clinical practice, this risk factor should be considered in combination with positive maternal attitudes, not separately. The implications for future studies and interventions in the field of prenatal depression are discussed in this work.

“…Pregnant women are a high-risk population due to the potential dual impact on mother and fetus [ 2 ]. Pregnancy is a particularly critical period for women’s mental health [ 3 , 4 ]. Depression and anxiety are some of the most prevalent pregnancy morbidities that have increased since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic [ 5 , 6 , 7 ].…”

Background: The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has created numerous stressful conditions, especially for vulnerable populations such as pregnant women. Pandemic-related pregnancy stress consists of two dimensions: stress associated with feeling unprepared for birth due to the pandemic (Preparedness Stress), and stress related to fears of perinatal COVID-19 infection (Perinatal Infection Stress). The purpose of our study was to elucidate the association between various factors—sociodemographic, obstetric, pandemic-related, and situational—and pandemic stress in its two dimensions during the second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic in Polish pregnant women. Methods: A cross-sectional study with a total of 1119 pregnant women recruited during the second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic in Poland (between November 2020 and January 2021). Participants were recruited via social media to complete an online study questionnaire that included sociodemographic, obstetric, situational, and COVID-19 pandemic factors, as well as the Pandemic-Related Pregnancy Stress Scale (PREPS). Results: Nearly 38.5% of participants reported high Preparedness Stress; 26% reported high Perinatal Infection Stress. Multivariate analyses indicated that lack of COVID-19 diagnosis, higher compliance with safety rules and restrictions, and limited access to outdoor space were independently associated with moderate to severe levels of Infection Stress. Current emotional or psychiatric problems, nulliparity, limited access to outdoor space, and alterations to obstetric visits were independently associated with moderate to severe Preparedness Stress. Conclusion: Study findings suggest that particular attention should be focused on the groups of pregnant women who are most vulnerable to pandemic-related stress and therefore may be more prone to adverse outcomes associated with prenatal stress.

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the factors that influence the intention to buy halal cosmetics. This paper investigates the impact of subjective norms, attitudes, and religiosity on the intention to buy halal-certified cosmetics. The sample data used in this study were 202 respondents in Indonesia. SPSS is used to test the significance of the influence of independent variables. The test results show that attitudes, subjective norms, and religiosity have a positive and significant influence on buying intentions of halal-certified cosmetics. Muslim entrepreneurs can estimate the behavior of potential customers through this paper. As for academics, this paper can be used for further research by integrating religiosity in the Theory of Reason Action as a predictor influencing intention to purchase. Empirically this research is useful to increase understanding of the halal industry and consumer behavior.
