“…In contrast, Ghaffar et al (2017), in a study involving 750 pregnant women, found a significant correlation between age and anxiety or depression, which were more common in women aged 36-41 years. In contrast, a study by Kicia et al (2021) also showed correlation between age and elevated stress levels in women after miscarriage: higher levels of stress were found in patients up to 25 and 30-35 years of age, compared to women between 26 and 30 years of age. Furthermore, Bhat, Hassan, Shafiq, Sheikh (2015) found that anxiety was higher in pregnant women under 30 years of age, compared to those above 30 years of age.…”

Introduction and aims. Pregnancy is a physiological state for a woman. However, if pathology develops, the course of pregnancy is affected by both mental and biological stress. Stress experienced during pregnancy may irreversibly alter the cerebral structures in the foetus. Moreover, chronic stress is likely to cause miscarriage, preterm delivery, IUGR, low birth weight, etc. The aim of the study was to analyse the stress level in hospitalized pregnant women with account forsociodemographic factors. Material and methods. The study was carried out in a group of 140 pregnant women hospitalized in the Department of Pregnancy Pathology, Independent State Clinical Hospital No.1 in Lublin. Inclusion criteria for the study were: age 18 or older, established pregnancy, and hospitalization for more than 2 weeks in a pregnancy pathology department. The participants were diagnostically surveyed by the Perceptible Stress Scale (PSS-10) and a questionnaire created for the study. Results. Almost every second (76; 54.3%) pregnant woman demonstrated low level of stress, 13.6% (n=19) respondents showed average level, and high level was detected in 32.1% (n= 45) of the respondents. A statistically significant correlation was found between the level of perceived stress and education (p=0.031), financial situation (p=0.017). Conclusions. During hospitalization, nearly every third pregnant woman was affected by a high level of stress. The very fact that the health of the child and/or pregnant mother is found to be at risk is already a source of stress for the woman. Higher intensity of stress - statistically significant concerned mothers with professional education and average financial situation. Data from reports in the literature indicate that stress during pregnancy can also negatively affect the health of the psycho-physical diady- mother child. Further research in this area is needed, along with the possibility of taking measures to promote the psychophysical comfort of hospitalized mothers.

“…There were extremely significant disparities in psychological features with reference to women's socioeconomic standing among the current study women (p=0.000). The mean of psychological features fell considerably among women who were divorced because of a miscarriage [27]. The social status significantly associated with marital status (mothers who are divorced and separated negatively correlated with psychological aspects) [28].…”

This study aimed to determine the relationship between dyadic coping strategies and posttraumatic stress symptoms in pregnant persons at risk of miscarriage. This descriptive relationship-seeking study was conducted with a total of 330 pregnant people who were hospitalized in the obstetrics department of Meram Faculty of Medicine because they were in danger of miscarrying. Data were collected with a personal information form, the Dyadic Coping Inventory, and the Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Checklist–Civilian Version. The results were that 241 (73%) of 330 pregnant people at risk of miscarriage had a posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) score above the cut-off point (≥ 23). The pregnant persons' self-perception of their spouse's score on dyadic coping and the low joint dyadic coping behavior score were found to be important factors for PTSD ( P < 0.05). Health care professionals should question the dyadic coping methods used by pregnant people at risk of miscarriage and help them develop better ways of coping. In addition, midwives, nurses, and other health care providers should emphasize to pregnant people in danger of miscarriage who do not have good dyadic coping skills that it is important to use psychological counseling services, and encourage the participation of couples in training programs for coping strategies.
