Abstract:
Objective:To explore the psychological distress status of HIV-infected pregnant women and analyze the possible influencing factors.
Methods:A total of 483 HIV-infected pregnant women were enrolled for this study by a cluster random sampling method from Sept. 2014 to Apr. 2017. Participants completed questionnaires including Distress Thermometer (DT), Berger HIV Stigma Scale (BHSS), HIV/AIDS Stress Scale (SS-HIV), Social Support Rating Scale (SSRS) and general questionnaire.
Results:The detection rate of psychological distress was 68.1%, the detection rates of moderate, severe and extreme psychological pain were 49.7%, 17.6% and 0.8% respectively. The detection rate of continuing pregnancy (75.2%) was higher than the termination pregnancy (56.4%), the difference was statistically significant (χ2=18.44, P<0.01). There were significant differences in the detection rates between continuing pregnancies at different gestational ages (χ2=15.41, P<0.01), and the termination pregnancy varies little with pregnancy (χ2=0.03, P>0.05). The mean DT score was 4.85 ± 1.82. The score of continuing pregnancy (5.94 ± 1.73) was higher than the termination pregnancy (4.20 ±1.96), the difference was statistically significant (t=4.57, P<0.01). Logistic regression analysis showed that CD4+ T lymphocyte count, infection route, perceived discrimination, related stress and social support were the common influencing factors of all pregnant women, factors affecting continuing pregnancy also include high risk pregnancy and gestational age.
Conclusions:HIV-infected pregnant women have higher incidence of psychological distress. The influencing factors are mainly related to the infection characteristics, pregnancy characteristics, BHSS, SS-HIV and SSRS, and has nothing to do with the general social demographic characteristics. The DT can be used as a screening tool to quickly identify psychological distress of the group.
