“…A study carried out in Okmeydan hospital, Turkey, there was no significant difference between HG cases and pregnant women in terms of employment [31]. Kamalak et al found that being employed had no effect on the development of HG [29] while Roseboom et al reported that being housewives increased the risks of HG [32]. In this study, employed pregnant women were less likely to suffer from HG compared to housewives.…”

“…In this study, no significant difference was found between HG group and the control group in terms of both the obstetric history and existence of a familial history of HG. On the other hand, Kamalak et al reported that women with HG had a history of previous abortion than the control group [29]. This finding gave an impression that factors other than obstetric history and familial history of HG might be associated with the occurrence of HG.…”

“…However, in the study of Annagur et al (26), no significant difference in terms of both the obstetric history and existence of a general medical condition was observed between HG and control groups of pregnant cases. It was suggested in the literature that HG could be associated with the relations between spouses and the Düşünen Adam The Journal of Psychiatry and Neurological Sciences, Volume 28, Number 2, June 2015 communication with the family members as well as the stress level (36,38). No difference was found in our study, between HG group and the control group in terms of stress, familial characteristics, marriage characteristics and relational satisfaction.…”

“…Similar findings were acquired in some studies conducted in our country (5,23). Kamalak et al (36) did not detect a significant difference between HG and non-HG pregnant cases in terms of age, age at marriage, age at first pregnancy and employment status but they reported a higher prevalence of HG among those pregnant cases with a higher level of education and socioeconomical power. In the same study, no significant difference between groups in terms of preterm birth or type (vaginal/caesarian) of delivery was observed but a higher prevalence of abortus and a lower prevalence of parity was reported in HG group.…”

“…Moreover, these factors were not associated with psychiatric symptoms. In a recent article by Kamalak et al [23], only education level of the pregnant women, monthly income, HG in the previous pregnancy, and short time intervals between pregnancies were found to be related to HG development. In a study by Roseboom et al [24], it was reported that women with HG were slightly younger, had a lower income, and had more often conceived through assisted reproduction techniques.…”
