“…Engelhard et al [77] found that SOC was related positively to crisis support (particularly to con ding in others and emotional support (r = 0 .23, p = 0 .017). Similar to the ndings by Przestrzelska et al [44], Rudman et al [73] found that low SOC was associated with lack of social support using a non-validated self-report questionnaire inquiring about type and extent of social support received by a pregnant woman.…”

“…[34,35,37,39,46,53,56,73] did not report EPDS scores while seven studies [35,37,39,44,56,70,73] did not provide measures of SOC. Not surprisingly, none of the seven studies [35,37,39,44,56,70,73] reported relationship between EPDS and SOC measures. The study by Przestrzelska et al…”

“…Cross-sectional studies Among the cross-sectional studies (see Table 3), six studies [36, 39,40,44,50,52,54,56,79] provided no explicit measures of SOC while three studies reported multiple SOC scores. Mohamamdirizi et al [42] reported signi cantly different SOC measures in high risk versus low-risk pregnancies and Przestrzelska et al [44] reported that SOC scores did not signi cantly differ in women with physiological versus complicated pregnancies.…”

Background Pregnancy is acknowledged as a time of physiological, social, and psychological challenges that may compromise a pregnant woman’s quality of life. Healthcare advocates have proposed a paradigm shift in maternity services towards a framework that includes the promotion and generation of health such as Antonovsky’s framework of salutogenesis. Central to salutogenesis are general resistance resources (GRRs) (i.e., assets and resources available to an individual) and sense of coherence (SOC) (i.e., a measure of their ability to mobilize their GRRs and manage physical, mental and social stressors). To begin to explore the role of SOC in pregnancy care, we critically analyzed, synthesized and summarized studies with quantitative measures of SOC during pregnancy. Methods A systematic review of the literature was performed using PubMed & Medline, Allied and Complementary Medicine (AMED), Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL) and PsychInfo between 1997 to 2022. Inclusion criteria for review were manuscripts: (1) of peer-reviewed primary investigation reports, (2) measuring SOC among pregnant women and (3) written in the English language. Manuscripts excluded were: (1) qualitative studies, (2) abstracts from conference proceedings and (3) dissertations from a Master or PhD degree. Quality assessment used the NIH National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute Study Quality Assessment Tools. Our systematic review was guided by the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analysis (PRISMA). Results Our systematic review found 49 studies (i.e., prospective (n=29) and cross-sectional (n=17) cohorts) meeting inclusion criteria. Pregnant women (93% of subjects; n=27, 186) completed primarily the SOC-13 instrument along with 67 other patient reported outcomes (PROs) of mental and social health domains. Physical health measures were lacking. Overall, a low SOC score was associated with compromised health outcomes during pregnancy, labor and birth. Cause and effect inferences between measures of SOC and PROs remain largely unexplored. Conclusion The findings of this review are that low SOC is associated with poor prenatal health outcomes. Maternity care should focus on a more comprehensive approach that addresses not only morbidities and risks but also protective and stress resisting factors that promote health such as increasing a pregnant woman’s sense of coherence.

“…Literatürde yapılan çalışmalar da gebe kadınlarda daha düşük yaş, multiparite, özellikle eş/partnerden sosyal destek eksikliği ve gebelikte depresyon riskinin düşük tutarlılık düzeyi ile ilişkili olduğunu göstermektedir. 21,22 Tutarlılık duygusu stresli olayların deneyimini azaltan kişisel bir kaynaktır. 23 Gelir durumu yüksek olan ve isteyerek gebe kalan kadınların hayatlarında kriz yaratabilecek daha az stres kaynağı ile karşılaştığı ve bu nedenle yüksek tutarlılığa sahip olduğu düşünülmektedir.…”

Giriş: Çalışma gebelerde tutarlılık duygusu, algılanan stres ve doğum korkusunu belirlemek amacıyla gerçekleştirilmiştir. Yöntem: Tanımlayıcı tipte olan bu çalışma 01 Ocak-31 Mart 2022 tarihleri arasında gerçekleştirilmiştir. Çalışmaya araştırma kriterlerine uyan İç Anadolu Bölgesi’nde yaşayan toplam 218 gebe dahil edilmiştir. Veriler 'Kişisel Bilgi Formu', 'Revize Edilmiş Duygusal Tutarlılık Ölçeği (REDTÖ)', 'Algılanan Stres Ölçeği (ASÖ)' ve 'Wijma Doğum Beklentisi/Deneyimi Ölçeği (W-DEQ) A versiyonu (WİJMA A)' kullanılarak çevrim içi toplanmıştır. Verilerin analizinde bağımsız gruplarda t testi kullanılmıştır. Bulgular: Gebelerin REDTÖ, ASÖ ve WİJMA A ölçek toplam puan ortalamaları sırasıyla 43,41±9,23, 22,73±5,35 ve 76,46±17,52 olarak bulunmuştur. Gebelerin tutarlılık ve doğum korku düzeylerinin yüksek, stres düzeylerinin de orta olduğu görülmektedir. Sosyal güvencesi olmayan ve isteyerek gebe kalmayanların stres ve doğum korku düzeyinin diğer gebelere oranla daha yüksek olduğu bulunmuştur (p<0,05). Araştırmadan elde edilen bir diğer önemli sonuç ise daha önce sezeryan ile doğum yapmış kadınların normal doğum yapanlara göre daha fazla doğum korkusu yaşadığının belirlenmesidir (p<0,05). Sonuç ve Öneriler: Araştırmadan elde edilen veriler önceki doğum şekli, gebeliği isteme ve sosyal güvence durumunun doğum korku düzeyi üzerinde olumsuz etkisi olduğunu göstermektedir. Doğum korkusunun uzun ve kısa vadede anne-çocuk sağlığı üzerinde etkileri düşünüldüğünde özellikle risk grubundaki kadınların doğum korku düzeyinin belirlenmesi ve bu düzeyin azaltılmasına yönelik stratejilerin geliştirilmesine ihtiyaç duyulmaktadır.

“…27 Özellikle eşten görülen sosyal destek tutarlılık duygusunu da olumlu etkilemektedir. 28 Literatür ve çalışmamızdan elde edilen veriler kadınların prenatal bağlanma düzeyi ile eğitim durumu, sosyoekonomik düzeyi ve sosyal destek görme durumu arasında ilişki olduğunu göstermektedir. Doğum öncesi dönemde kurulan güçlü ve sağlıklı bir bağlanma, doğum sonrası dönemde anne-bebek bağlanma sürecine olumlu katkı sağlamaktadır.…”

Introduction:The study was planned in a descriptive-relation-seeking type in order to determine the relationship between the sense of coherence, prenatal attachment and perinatal anxiety levels of expectant mothers during pregnancy and the factors affecting them. Method: The research was carried out with 154 pregnant women. The data of the research; It was gathered at The hospital in Central Anatolia between December 2020 and July 2021. Research data were collected using a personal information form, Revised Sense of Coherence Scale (RECS), Prenatal Attachment Inventory (PAI), Perinatal Anxiety Screening Scale (PAS). Results: It was determined that the total mean score of the RECS of Pregnants was 40,49±5,60, the total PAI score average was 38,02±9,89, and the total PAS mean score was 66,90±17,96. Sense of Coherence level of pregnant women was found to be good. No significant correlation was found between the RECS, PAI and PAS total scores. It has been found that there is a relationship between socioeconomic level and educational status and sense of coherence and prenatal attachment in pregnant women. In addition, it was determined that the prenatal attachment level of women who received support from their spouses was better. Conclusion: Pregnancy is a process that has long-term effects on the life of the newborn baby and the whole family, as well as the woman. In order to improve maternal and infant health, there is a need to identify pregnant women with poor socioeconomic status and to take necessary actions, and to raise awareness of the subject by giving trainings on the importance of spousal support to prospective fathers during pregnancy.
