“…The mean (SD) of fatigue in our sample was 51.94 (10.79) scores, which was higher than that in US general population (mean of 50 and SD of 10) ( Liu et al, 2010 ). However, the mean (SD) of prenatal fatigue in our study was lower than those in other pregnant populations, where they were 55.25 (7.53) ( Alcantara et al, 2018 ), 56.03(5.96) ( MoghaddamHosseini et al, 2021 ) and 58.3(0.79) ( Lyon et al, 2014 ). Despite the fact that we all focused on pregnant women, the characteristics of pregnant women in previous studies differed from ours (women with gestation week of 35.55 weeks).…”

“…Despite the fact that we all focused on pregnant women, the characteristics of pregnant women in previous studies differed from ours (women with gestation week of 35.55 weeks). In particular, Joel’s study focused on pregnant women across pregnancy ( Alcantara et al, 2018 ), Debra’s on women during their second trimester of pregnancy ( Lyon et al, 2014 ) and Vahideh’s on women with 36.98 gestational weeks ( MoghaddamHosseini et al, 2021 ). Since the current reports on prenatal fatigue based on PROMIS are limited to the few studies listed above, future study can examine the our findings in populations of various cultures.…”

Background Fatigue is one of the most prevalent symptoms among pregnant women. In patients with various diseases, pro-inflammatory cytokines are associated with fatigue; however, such associations are unknown in pregnant women. Objectives The objective of this study was to examine the associations between pro-inflammatory cytokines and prenatal fatigue. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted on 271 pregnant Chinese women in their third trimester of pregnancy. Patient-reported Outcome Measurement Information System (PROMIS) was used to evaluate women’s prenatal fatigue. Using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), the serum concentrations of four pro-inflammatory cytokines, including tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), interleukin 1 beta (IL-1β), interleukin 6 (IL-6) and interleukin 8 (IL-8), were measured. The data was analyzed by correlation analysis and general linear regression analysis. Results In this sample, the mean (standard deviation) of fatigue scores was 51.94 (10.79). TNF-α (r = 0.21, p < 0.001), IL-6 (r = 0.134, p = 0.027) and IL-8 (r = 0.209, p = 0.001) were positively correlated to prenatal fatigue, although IL-1β was not. TNF-α (β = 0.263, p < 0.001), along with sleep quality (β = 0.27, p < 0.001) and depression (β = 0.376, p < 0.001) independently predicted prenatal fatigue. Conclusions TNF-α was identified as an independent biomarker for prenatal fatigue in our study. Reducing pro-inflammatory cytokines may be a unique method for lowering prenatal fatigue and, consequently, enhancing mother and child health.

Purpose Health-related quality of life (HRQoL) has emerged as a key concern in patient care. It has become one of the major objectives of clinical trials. Our study aims to describe the quality of life (QoL) during uncomplicated pregnancy and to assess its associated factors. Patients and Methods The search of articles was carried out using the online database of PUBMED and Web of Science with a limit of time between 2011 and 2021. Data were retrieved by two independent reviewers. Results 721 publications responding to keywords were identified, of which 73 articles on the topic were selected. The main countries that have published on this subject are Australia (n = 10) and China (n = 7). Twenty-three articles deal with QoL for pathological pregnancies. All the pathologies studied have a negative impact on the HRQoL of pregnant women, and its improvement depends on the type of treatment. Obesity, low back, and pelvic girdle pain, and hyperemesis gravidarum were the frequent pathologies during pregnancy. Socio-demographic characteristics related to improved well-being (favorable economic status, social support). Similarly, better sleep quality and moderate physical exercise were linked to an increased QoL. Physical and psychological factors were associated with a lower QoL. Conclusion The HRQoL refers to patients’ subjective evaluation of physical, mental, and social components of well-being. Optimizing the QoL during pregnancy necessitates a deeper understanding of their issues as well as counseling which provides support wherever needed.

“…These were grouped into the following: whether it measured the effect of pregnancy on the SWB of pregnant women, the effect of SS on the SWB of pregnant women, and whether an intervention or a qualitative approach was used. A total of 13 studies were included in the pregnancy itself (Lips, 1985 ; Drescher et al, 2003 ; Taşdemir et al, 2010 ; Ndombe et al, 2011 ; Aasheim et al, 2014 ; Chang et al, 2014 ; Malhotra et al, 2015 ; Türk et al, 2017 ; Farooq et al, 2018 ; Robinson et al, 2018 ; Ishfaq and Mushtaq, 2019 ; Branecka-Wozniak et al, 2020 ; Tesfa et al, 2020 ), 16 studies in SS (Giblin et al, 1987 ; Stevenson et al, 1999 ; Macleod and Weaver, 2003 ; Elsenbruch et al, 2007 ; Rokach, 2007 ; Emmanuel et al, 2012 ; Ngai and Ngu, 2013 ; Gebuza et al, 2014 ; Goodman et al, 2014 ; Calou et al, 2018 ; Gul et al, 2018 ; Nakamura et al, 2018 ; Pakseresht et al, 2019 ; Yu et al, 2020 ; MoghaddamHosseini et al, 2021 ), three interventions (Corno et al, 2018 ; Nazari et al, 2018 ; Hasanzadeh et al, 2020 ), and two qualitative studies (Cynthia Logsdon et al, 2005 ; Kazemi et al, 2017 ).…”

Background: Subjective well-being (SWB) has a protective role in mental health maintenance and is prone to change during short stressful moments, such as pregnancy. Longstanding research suggests that social support (SS) from the partner and family members of pregnant women directly or indirectly acts as a buffer against negative mental outcomes. For happier pregnancies, it is important to understand how SS and pregnancy affect the SWB.Objective: This review aims to examine the extended association of being pregnant and SS on the SWB of pregnant women.Methods: A systematic review was conducted in PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar. Articles published in peer-reviewed journals were included regardless of the year and if they had assessed the impact of at least one SWB or SS outcome among healthy pregnant women. The tools of the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute were used for quality assessment.Results: Thirty-four studies that assessed the domains of SWB measurements, such as happiness, quality of life (QoL), life satisfaction, positive and negative effects, and well-being, were included and its association with either pregnancy or SS was summarized. Variable results, such as life satisfaction, happiness, and mental component of QoL, were found to be high during pregnancy, but positive emotion and physical components of QoL had decreased. Almost universally, SS during pregnancy was found to have a positive association with all measurements of SWB.Conclusion: This study had found that, despite some arising trends, pregnancy itself does not necessarily have similar impacts on SWB across healthy pregnant women. However, SS had a significant effect on SWB.
