“…It calculates the GSI 30 . In pregnant women, we defined psychological stress as a GSI score >0.5 for BSI‐18 31 . On the basis of findings of research by Akhavan Abiri et al, 32 the results of validity and reliability of the questionnaire were acceptable in the Iranian population and the Cronbach's α was equal to 0.81.…”

Background and Aims: Although previous studies have reported some psychological factors to prevent the worry of vaccination against COVID-19 in pregnant women, the role of psychological self-care is unclear. The present study aimed to investigate the role of psychological self-care in pregnant women on the depressive symptoms, psychological distress, and worry of vaccination against COVID-19. Methods:The present cross-sectional study was conducted during the peak of the Delta variant of COVID-19 in Babol city (North, Iran) from August to November 2021. Two hundred pregnant women referring to three prenatal clinics completed five questionnaires including; demographic characteristics, Edinburgh postnatal depression scale, psychological self-care, brief symptom inventory 18, corona disease anxiety scale, and acceptance of vaccination-3 inventory.Results: Pregnant women were in relatively good condition based on psychological self-care but were not significantly associated with demographic characteristics, such as age, gestational age, educational background, pregnancy, and risk of parity. It was psychological self-care of pregnant women which negatively predicted the Health Sci. Rep.

“…Evidence confirmed that prevalence rates of some mental disorders, such as panic disorders and obsession‐compulsive disorder (OCD), during pregnancy were higher than their lifetime prevalence rates in the general population 4 . An Iranian study conducted on 155 pregnant women with high‐risk pregnancies reported a rate of adjustment disorders at 26.1%, phobia at 14.1%, and GAD at 4.3% 3 . Another study revealed that the prevalence of anxiety symptoms among Iranian pregnant women with low‐risk pregnancies was 25.8% 6…”

Background and AimsStudies regarding the risk factors of prenatal anxiety disorders are inconclusive and sometimes contradictory. The current study aimed to define the prevalence and risk factors for anxiety disorders in women during pregnancy.MethodsThis is a cross‐sectional and hospital‐based survey of two public hospitals (Ayatollah Rohani and Yahyanejad) of inpatients/outpatients, obstetric wards/clinics, and four private outpatient obstetric clinics in the city of Babol. Convenience sampling was utilized to recruit 432 pregnant women. A trained clinical psychologist conducted the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM‐5 (SCID‐5) to diagnose anxiety disorders. In addition, the Brief Symptom Inventory 18 (BSI‐18) was completed by the participants to assess the severity of psychological distress.ResultsOf 432 pregnant women, 132 (30.5%) were diagnosed with anxiety disorders. Anxiety disorders included 61 cases of pregnancy adjustment disorder (47.7%), 52 cases of generalized anxiety disorder (40.6%), and 15 cases of specific phobia (to delivery) (11.7%). The logistic regression results showed that the age, pregnancy, education, parity, and high‐risk pregnancy variables predicted 28% of the variance of anxiety disorders. Furthermore, as the age (β = 0.94, p = 0.003) and gestational age (β = 0.9, p < 0.001) increased, the probability of anxiety disorders in pregnancy decreased. Moreover, university education (β = 1.65, p = 0.049) and high‐risk pregnancy (β = 1.72, p = 0.02) were recognized as risk factors for developing anxiety disorders during pregnancy.ConclusionThe high incidence of anxiety disorders in pregnant women suggests that obstetricians should pay more attention to identifying and treating anxiety disorders in all pregnant women, especially in high‐risk pregnancies.

“…and hence, there is no comprehensive instrument or approach for the assessment of all aspects of well-being [ 24 ]. Some previous studies considered lack of depression, anxiety, and psychological disorders as well-being and used depression- and anxiety-related instruments for well-being assessment [ 23 , 25 – 28 ]. Some studies also equated well-being with acceptable physical health and hence, used physical health assessment instruments for well-being assessment [ 29 , 30 ].…”

Background Assessment of well-being in high-risk pregnancy (HRP) is the key to achieve positive maternal and fetal outcomes. Although there are a wide range of instruments for well-being assessment, none of them is comprehensive for well-being assessment in HRP. The present study aimed at the development and psychometric evaluation of the High-Risk Pregnancy Well-Being Index (HRPWBI). Methods This methodological study was conducted using the Waltz’s four-step method. The dimensions of well-being in HRP were determined based on a conceptual model and the blueprint and the item pool of HRPWBI were developed. Then, the face and the content validity were assessed and item analysis was performed. Construct validity was also assessed through exploratory factor analysis with principal component analysis on the data obtained from 376 women with HRP in Mashhad, Iran. Finally, internal consistency, test–retest stability, sensitivity, and interpretability of HRPWBI were assessed. Results The scale- content validity index (SCVI) of HRPWBI was 0.91. In factor analysis, 33 items were loaded on seven factors which explained 53.77% of the total variance. Internal consistency, relative stability, absolute stability, sensitivity, and interpretability of HRPWBI were confirmed with a Cronbach’s alpha of 0.84, a test–retest intraclass correlation coefficient of 0.97, a standard error of measurement of 0.92, a minimal detectable change of 8.09, and a minimal important change of 2.92, respectively. Conclusion HRPWBI is a valid and reliable instrument for well-being assessment among women with HRP. It can be used to assess well-being and the effects of well-being improvement interventions on well-being among women with HRP.
