“…It is known that some sociodemographic variables, such as age, low income, and low education level, pose a risk to health and form a basis for psychological and physical problems 11 . It is known that psychosocial health improves as the education levels of pregnant women increase 12 . In the present study, while no relationship was found between the education level and stress, social support from partner, and self-esteem, pregnant women with a low education level were found to feel more social support from their environment.…”

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to determine the relationship of the prenatal psychosocial profile with postpartum maternity duties and newborn care. METHODS: This descriptive and correlational study was conducted on 154 pregnant women. RESULTS: It was determined that pregnant women had low-stress levels, high social support from their husbands and other people, and moderate self-esteem. Participants relying on power in coping with maternity duties in the postpartum period and satisfaction with maternity and newborn care were found to be high. CONCLUSION: Adaptation to the postpartum period facilitates the transition to maternity and increases satisfaction with newborn care.

It is generally defined as material and spiritual supports and the exchange of material and spiritual resources between individuals, such that the individuals perceive that they are respected, loved, and cared for and have available assistance (27,32).…”

Previous studies have suggested that certain personality characteristics are associated with emotional distress during pregnancy. However, the underlying mechanism of this association is rarely understood. The current study investigated the links between personality and pregnant women's emotional distress (depressive and anxiety symptoms), tested the chain mediating effects of two resilience factors—social support and positive coping, and explored whether socioeconomic status (SES) could moderate the effects (including direct and/or indirect effects) of personality on their emotional distress. Results of a relatively large sample of pregnant women in China (N = 1157) showed positive associations for psychoticism and neuroticism with depressive and anxiety symptoms as well as negative associations for extraversion with depression and anxiety. After controlling for four important variables (the first pregnancy or not, having adverse pregnancy experience or not, being pregnant as planned or not, and number of weeks of pregnancy), social support and positive coping acted as chain mediators on the associations of personality with depressive symptoms as well as of personality with anxiety. Overall, the association of personality and depressive symptoms demonstrated invariance across socioeconomic status (SES). However, SES moderated the relationship between personality and anxiety. Specifically, the negative association of positive coping with anxiety symptoms was weaker for low SES women than for high SES ones. Results highlight the importance of social support and positive coping to decrease personality-related depressive and anxiety symptom among pregnant women. Furthermore, identifying other resilience factors that alleviate anxiety in women with low SES is urgently called for.
