Background: An unplanned pregnancy may follow by increasing depression and anxiety and the aim of the present study was to evaluate the mediating role of partner’s emotional reaction to pregnancy (PERP) on the relationship between pregnancy planning and prenatal mental health. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 303 healthy Iranian pregnant women during their third trimester. The levels of depression and anxiety were measured using the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale and the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory. Further, the PERP score was measured using a researcher-made questionnaire. The data were analyzed using the plug-in application PROCESS macro. Results: The results showed that PERP score was related to pregnancy planning and prenatal depression and anxiety reversely. The direct effect of the pregnancy planning on depression (c=-.05) and anxiety levels (c= -.02) were not significant; but indirect effect of pregnancy planning on depression (Point Estimate= -.379, CI: -.523 to -.250) and anxiety levels (Point Estimate=-.560, CI: -.741 to -.385) with mediating role of PERP. were significant. Conclusions: The results indicated that the effect of the pregnancy planning on prenatal mental health is mediate by PERP and in unplanned pregnancy, women need to receive their positive partner’s reaction toward pregnancy to preserve their mental health.

Further, the PERP score was measured using a researcher-made questionnaire. The data were analyzed using the plug-in application PROCESS macro. Results: The results showed that PERP score was related to pregnancy planning and prenatal depression and anxiety inversely. The effect of the pregnancy planning on depression (β=-1.603; CI: -2.276 to -.978) and anxiety (β=-1.950, CI: -3.717 to -.493) were significant only with mediating role of PERP. Conclusions: The results indicated that the effect of the pregnancy planning on prenatal mental health is mediate by PERP and in unplanned pregnancy, women need to receive their positive partner’s reaction toward pregnancy to preserve their mental health.

“…Our point estimates of the prevalence of comorbid anxiety and mild-to-severe depression (13.5%) and moderate-to-severe depression (9.2%) were higher than the corresponding rates of 9.5% and 6.3%, respectively, reported in the systematic review with studies predominantly from high-income countries [ 7 ]. Prevalence of comorbidity is influenced by geographic location and cultural milieu [ 22 , 23 ]. Differences in prevalence of comorbidity between a cohort of pregnant Spanish (26.9%) and Turkish (47%) women were attributed to sociocultural characteristics and practices including number of living children, quality of relationship with husband, family structure such as extended family living in the household, and ability to work given educational preparation [ 22 , 23 ].…”

Anxiety and depression commonly co-occur during pregnancy and may increase risk of poor birth outcomes including preterm birth and low birth weight. Our understanding of rates, patterns, and predictors of comorbid anxiety and depression is hindered given the dearth of literature, particularly in low- and middle-income (LMI) countries. The aim of this study is (1) to explore the prevalence and patterns of comorbid antenatal anxiety and depressive symptoms in the mild-to-severe and moderate-to-severe categories among women in a LMI country like Pakistan and (2) to understand the risk factors for comorbid anxiety and depressive symptoms. Using a prospective cohort design, a diverse sample of 300 pregnant women from four centers of Aga Khan Hospital for Women and Children in Pakistan were enrolled in the study. Comorbid anxiety and depression during pregnancy were high and numerous factors predicted increased likelihood of comorbidity, including: (1) High level of perceived stress at any time point, (2) having 3 or more previous children, and (3) having one or more adverse childhood experiences. These risks were increased if the husband was employed in the private sector. Early identification and treatment of mental health comorbidities may contribute to decreased adverse birth outcomes in LMI countries.
