Overview

Cross-sectional study reveals that active coping and marital satisfaction reduce psychological distress in women with high-risk pregnancies, suggesting interventions may be beneficial.

Key Points

  • This research examines how active coping strategies and marital satisfaction impact psychological distress among women experiencing high- and low-risk pregnancies.
  • Cross-sectional study with 195 pregnant women aged 18–51 years, including 102 with high-risk pregnancies.
  • Participants completed several psychological assessments, including the EPDS and PSS-10.
  • Used independent-samples t tests and correlation analyses to analyze the data.
  • Women with high-risk pregnancies showed higher prenatal depression (p = 0.032) and pregnancy-related anxiety (p < 0.001).
  • Active coping moderated the relationship between negative experiences and perceived stress (β = −0.16, p = 0.016).
  • Marital satisfaction moderated the prenatal depression and perceived stress connection in high-risk pregnancies (β = −0.21, p = 0.016).
