Abstract

Abstract Purpose: The aim of this study is to evaluate toxoplasmosis risk on anxiety and perception of cat owner pregnant women Method: A Health Anxiety Inventory (HAI-18) was used to measure the anxiety of participants. Age and anxiety variables were analyzed using a two-sample independent t-test. Gravida, education, and job status were analyzed using chi-square tests, and Live to abort ratio & pregnancy number were analyzed using Fisher exact test. Results: Measurement of the anxiety level between the two groups showed that anxiety is significantly higher among the pregnant women who feed cats in their house with an average of 32.03(±8.72). The average anxiety level among the pregnant women who don't have cats in their house was 25.94 (±8.99). The difference between the Health Anxiety Inventory of the two groups was significant (P-Value: 0.0001) Conclusion: Our results showed that pregnant women who own cats at home had, on average, more environmental anxiety than women who don’t feed cats at home.
