Abstract

Aim: This study aimed to document depression and anxiety levels in pregnant women with intrauterine fetal anomalies based on objective measurement inventories, raise awareness of this issue and provide the necessary support to patients. Materials and Method: Forty pregnant women between the ages of 18-41 who were diagnosed with a major fetal anomaly, and decided their pregnancy to continue were included in the study group. Forty pregnant women with a healthy fetus and gestational week and maternal age matched with the study group were included as the control group. The Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) and the Spielberger State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) were applied to pregnant women. Results: Anxiety and depression levels were compared between pregnant women diagnosed with an intrauterine fetal anomaly and the control group. The mean BDI score was significantly higher in the study group (P=0.008). In the STAI scoring, the mean state anxiety level (P0.001) and the mean trait anxiety score (P=0.001) were found to be statistically higher in the study group compared to the control group. Conclusion: The depressive symptom scores and the state and trait anxiety levels of pregnant women with the intrauterine fetal anomaly, increased compared to the healthy pregnant women. These pregnant women should be provided with professional psychological support and necessary medical assistance during this difficult period.

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışmada intrauterin fetal anomaly tanısı olan gebelerde depresyon ve anksiyete düzeylerinin objektif ölçüm envanterlerine dayalı olarak belgelenmesi, konu hakkında farkındalık yaratılması ve hastalara gerekli desteğin sağlanması amaçlandı. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Çalışma grubuna majör fetal anomali tanısı alan ve gebeliğinin devamına karar veren 18-41 yaş arası 40 gebe dahil edildi. Sağlıklı fetüsü olan benzer yaş aralığı ve gestasyonel haftadaki 40 gebe kontrol grubu olarak alındı. Gebelere Beck Depresyon Envanteri (BDÖ) ve Spielberger Durumluk-Sürekli Kaygı Envanteri (STAI) uygulandı. Bulgular: İntrauterin fetal anomali tanısı alan gebeler ile kontrol grubu arasında anksiyete ve depresyon düzeyleri karşılaştırıldı. Ortalama BDÖ skoru çalışma grubunda anlamlı olarak daha yüksekti (P=0.008). STAI puanlamasında, durumluk kaygı düzeyi ortalaması (P0.001) ve sürekli kaygı skoru ortalaması (P=0.001) çalışma grubunda kontrol grubuna göre istatistiksel olarak daha yüksek bulundu. Sonuç: İntrauterin fetal anomalili gebelerin depresif semptom skorları ile durumluk ve sürekli kaygı düzeyleri sağlıklı gebelere göre artmıştır. Bu gebelere böyle bir zor dönemde profesyonel psikolojik destek ve gerekli tıbbi yardım sağlanmalıdır
