Paper Title:
A comparative study to assess the anxiety level of hospitalized and non-hospitalized women with high risk pregnancy availing the services of a tertiary level hospital in Pune, India.
Abstract
Background:
Pregnancy becomes high risk when it is complicated by unexpected illnesses or medical conditions. This may cause anxiety in the pregnant women. Anxiety should not be considered as a normal state of emotional change or ignored, as it may lead to deleterious effects on the foetus, depression during postpartum period, and anxiety disorders among the children born to these mothers.
Objectives:
To identify the high risk pregnant women, assess the anxiety level and compare, analyse the correlates of anxiety among the hospitalized and non-hospitalized high risk pregnant women.
Materials & Methods:
Two groups 50 samples in each – hospitalized and non-hospitalized high risk pregnant women selected using purposive sampling. Tools - Modified Coopeland’s high risk evaluation form, Spielberger State & Trait Anxiety Inventory, and questionnaire on Correlates of Anxiety (Crone back alpha value 0.70).
Results:
Age was homogenous in both the groups (25.02 ± 4.02; 25.42 ± 4.29), High risk score of hospitalized pregnant women was significantly higher than non-hospitalized pregnant women (Mean=5.76 ± 2.50; 4.56± 1.80, P<0.01). Mean correlates of anxiety score was significantly higher in hospitalized group (90.64 ± 10.57; 86.36 ± 9.22, P <0.05) along with stress due to household work and child care demand (Mean 7.92 ± 1.58; 7 ± 1.78, P<0.01).
Significant relationship was found between the trait and state anxiety score of the hospitalised group when comparing with non-hospitalised group (P<0.05).
Conclusion:
Pregnancy related anxiety is prevalent among high risk pregnant women. Women may hesitate to seek help hence routine screening for anxiety is recommended so as to provide timely mental health interventions.
