Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the occurrence of antenatal anxiety and possible influencing factors,and analyze its relationship with spontaneous delivery.Methods: 590 healthy puerperal women who delivered in Taihe hospital during Dec 2007 and Dec 2008 were randomly selected and investigated for their psychological status,with T-A1 anxiety scale and SDS depression scale employed.Results: 569 effective questionnaires were gathered,with 114 cases divided into the anxiety group and 159 cases into the depression group.Influencing factors of antenatal anxiety include fear of delivery,worry about the safety of babies,understanding of delivery knowledge,puerperal age,and the family financial status.Conclusion: Factors including a relatively older age of primipara,poor financial status,insufficient support from family,worry about the safety of oneself and baby,and fear for delivery pain all have close connections with antenatal mental disorders.Meanwhile,antenatal mental disorders have a direct influence on delivery quality and the choice of delivery modes,and increase the failure rate of spontaneous delivery.
