“…This intense anxiety can cause sufferers to push daily necessities into the background and to experience loss of functionality in many areas of life and a decrease in their QOL . This situation also can cause depression, anxiety, social isolation, sleep problems, psychosocial, and emotional problems . In the current study, the participants who accessed the internet to obtain information at least eight times a day and who did not share the pregnancy‐related information they obtained from the internet with the health professionals had higher trait and state anxiety scores and lower QOL scores.…”

Purpose In the current study, the relationship between internet use, anxiety levels, and quality of life (QOL) of Turkish pregnant women was investigated. Design and Methods This cross‐sectional study was conducted 623 pregnant women who were able to access the internet at home, at work, or on mobile phones. Findings It was determined that internet usage among Turkish pregnants is common (82.7%). Statistically significant negative correlations were determined between the pregnant women's trait anxiety levels and all the subscales of the QOL questionnaire. Practice Implications Health professionals especially nurses and midwives should inform pregnant women about safe ways to access reliable sources of information.

Altered immune functioning has been demonstrated in individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The current study explores the relationship between perceived immune functioning and experiencing ASD traits in healthy young adults. N = 410 students from Utrecht University completed a survey on immune functioning and autistic traits. In addition to a 1-item perceived immune functioning rating, the Immune Function Questionnaire (IFQ) was completed to assess perceived immune functioning. The Dutch translation of the Autism-Spectrum Quotient (AQ) was completed to examine variation in autistic traits, including the domains “social insights and behavior”, “difficulties with change”, “communication”, “phantasy and imagination”, and “detail orientation”. The 1-item perceived immune functioning score did not significantly correlate with the total AQ score. However, a significant negative correlation was found between perceived immune functioning and the AQ subscale “difficulties with change” (r = −0.119, p = 0.019). In women, 1-item perceived immune functioning correlated significantly with the AQ subscales “difficulties with change” (r = −0.149, p = 0.029) and “communication” (r = −0.145, p = 0.032). In men, none of the AQ subscales significantly correlated with 1-item perceived immune functioning. In conclusion, a modest relationship between perceived immune functioning and several autistic traits was found.
