Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the current situation of pregnancy distress and related factors in the third trimester of pregnancy,and explore its association with self-compassion and emotional inhibition.Methods:A total of 214 women in the third trimester of pregnancy were selected and measured the pregnancy pain,self-compassion and emotional depression levels of pregnant women in the third trimester with the Tilburg Pregnancy Pain Scale(TPDS),Self-Compassion Scale(SCS),and Emotional Suppression Scale(EIS).Results:The average score of pregnancy distress of 214 pregnant women in the third trimester was(26.7±4.9),with a medium level of pregnan-cy distress.Multiple linear regression analysis showed that the total scores of pregnancy distress in the third trimes-ter of pregnancy were negatively associated with the accompanying situation of the lover(β=-0.15,P＜0.05),the number of accompanying prenatal examinations(β=-0.24,P＜0.05)and the total scores of self-compassion(β=-0.12,P＜0.05),while positively correlated with gestational age(β=0.14,P＜0.05),complications(β=0.15,P＜0.05),and the total score of emotional suppression(β=0.17,P＜0.05).Conclusion:Pregnancy distress is common in pregnant women in the third trimester,which may be related to gestational age and complications,companionship of loved ones,number of accompanying prenatal examinations,self-compassion level and emotional inhibition.
