“…Furthermore, the prevalence of anxiety in this study is similar to the results of the Indian study by Sanchana et al, which reported a prevalence of 40.5% and a Canadian study that reported a prevalence of 57% [ 15 , 19 ]. However, the prevalence of stress in this study was slightly lower than the 37.8% reported by Sanchana et al [ 15 ]. Moreover, an Iranian study on stress levels reported a prevalence of 32.7% [ 5 ].…”

“…No significant relationships were found between several of the sociodemographic variables (for example, age, educational level, income, and occupation) and each of the three psychological problems investigated, which is similar to the results of Sanchana et al [ 15 ]. Similarly, Fu et al in China did not detect relationships between age and these three psychological variables [ 20 ].…”

“…These disparities may be attributable to the assessment tools used and differences in study settings and populations. The association found between gravidity and anxiety (p < 0.05) was similar to that in an Indian study and contrary to that in the study by Sapkota et al [ 14 - 15 ]. Moreover, parity was related to depression (p = 0.025) and stress (p = 0.01).…”

“…Mild-to-moderate symptoms of depression, anxiety, and stress were reported by 26.5%, 34.0%, and 17.5% of participants, respectively. A study conducted during the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic reported a similar rate of depression (44.6%), and several other studies reported an increased prevalence of depression, ranging from 34.2% to 37.0% [ 15 - 16 ]. In contrast, many studies from before COVID-19 reported a lower prevalence of depression in pregnant women, including a Spanish study ranging from 21.4% to 23.4% depending on the trimester and a New Zealand study that reported a rate of 22% [ 17 - 18 ].…”

Objectives: To estimate the prevalence of depression, anxiety, and stress among pregnant women living in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, and to assess associated risk factors.Methods: The study, which was a cross-sectional design, was conducted under the supervision of King Abdulaziz University Hospital, a tertiary care center in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, in May and June of 2021. The sample consisted of 200 pregnant women who completed an online questionnaire that included sociodemographic variables, obstetric information, pregnancy-related depression, stress, and anxiety symptoms, which were evaluated using the Depression Anxiety Stress Scale (DASS-21) and the Perinatal Anxiety Screening Scale (PASS).Results: DASS-21 scores indicated the prevalence of depression, anxiety, and stress were 37.5%, 54.0%, and 25.0%, respectively. The PASS revealed that 29.5% of participants had minimal anxiety symptoms, 44.5% had mild-to-moderate anxiety symptoms, and 26.0% had severe anxiety symptoms. The three psychological health conditions were significantly associated with family/husband support, history of caesarean section, parity, and abortion.Conclusions: Pregnant women should be screened routinely for any psychological disturbances, and women who are at high risk for mental illness should receive proper psychological care. Pregnant women, their families, and members of society should receive health-related education in order to prevent prenatal psychological issues as much as possible.

Pregnancy represents a psychologically and emotionally vulnerable period, and research indicates that pregnant women have a higher prevalence of symptoms of anxiety and depression, debunking the myth that hormonal changes associated with pregnancy protect the mother. In recent years, several researchers have focused on the study of prenatal anxiety/depression—emotional disorders manifested by mood lability and low interest in activities—with a high prevalence. The main objective of this research was to conduct an antenatal screening in a cohort of pregnant women hospitalized for delivery in order to assess the prevalence of anxiety and depression. The secondary objective was to identify the risk factors associated with depression and anxiety in women in the third trimester of pregnancy. We carried out a prospective study in which we evaluated 215 pregnant women in the third trimester of pregnancy hospitalized for childbirth at the Obstetrics and Gynecology Clinic of the Târgu-Mureș County Clinical Hospital. The research was carried out between December 2019 and December 2021. The results showed that age and the environment of origin are the strongest predictors of mental health during pregnancy (OR = 0.904, 95%CI: 0.826–0.991; p = 0.029). For women from urban areas, there is an increased probability of falling at a higher level on the dependent variable (moderate depression) (OR = 2.454, 95%CI: 1.086–5.545; p = 0.032). In terms of health behaviors, none of the variables were statistically significant predictors of the outcome variable. The study highlights the importance of monitoring mental health during pregnancy and identifying relevant risk factors to provide appropriate care to pregnant women and the need for interventions to support the mental health of pregnant women. Especially in Romania, where there is no antenatal or postnatal screening for depression or other mental health conditions, these results could be used to encourage the implementation of such screening programs and appropriate interventions.
