Abstract:
Objective:To understand the status of constipation, anxiety and depression among patients with placenta previa and to explore the relationship between them, in order to identify early predictor of constipation.
Methods:Zung′s Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) and Zung′s Self-Rating Depressive Scale (SDS) were applied among 92 patients with placenta previa. Finally, 83 valid questionnaires were recovered.
Results:The incidence of anxiety and depression were 50.6%(42/83) and 33.73%(28/83) respectively within 48 hours of hospitalization and the incidence of constipation was 71.08%(59/83) within three days in hospital. The incidence of constipation in emotional disorder group were greater than that in non-emotional disorder group (χ2=11.97, 6.81, P < 0.01). The degree of anxiety and depression were positively correlated with the occurrence of constipation (r=0.48, 0.35, P < 0.01 or 0.05). The correlation of anxiety and constipation was higher.
Conclusions:The heavier degree of negative emotions, the higher occurrence of constipation in patients with placenta previa during hospitalization. Anxiety can be used as an early predictor of constipation.
