Project no. 1261 · Status: Kapanmış · 2016
Summary
Objective: Early pregnancy loss is a traumatic event as psychologically for women and their families. The aim of this study was to evaluate the mental health and social support status of pregnant women diagnosed with abortus imminens as a result of IVF treatment. Methods: The study included 96 pregnant women who were diagnosed as abortus imminens in the first trimester of the pregnancy following in vitro fertilization treatment by applying to Ege University and Dokuz Eylül University Family Planning and Infertility Research Application Center and gynecology and obstetrics clinic between July 2017 and July 2018. Control group consisted of 98 healthy pregnant women who received IVF treatment at the same center. A total of 194 pregnant women participated in the study. In order to collect data, the Pregnant Introduction Form, Beck Depression Scale, Beck Anxiety Scale, Beck Hopelessness Scale and Multidimensional Perceived Social Support Scale, which were prepared by the researchers in accordance with the literature, were used. Data were analyzed by t test, Chi Square, one-way anova analysis. Results: The mean age of the participants was 33.02 ± 4.53. The Beck Depression Scale (t = 3.686, p = 0.000), the Beck Anxiety Scale (t = 3.711, p = 0.000), and the Beck Hopelessness Scale (t = 3.693, p = 0.000) were higher than the mean scores of women in the control group. The mean scores obtained from the perceived social support scale (t = -3.766, p = 0.000) were found to be lower than the control group. There was a significant positive correlation between Beck Depression Scale and Beck Anxiety Scale r= 0.735, p=0.000). There was a significant positive correlation between Beck Depression Scale and Beck Hopelessness Scale (r = 0.765, p = 0.000). There was a negative correlation between Perceived Social Support Scale and Beck Depression Inventory (r = -0.728, p = 0.000). Beck Anxiety Inventory (r = -0.790, p = 0.000) and Beck Hopelessness Scale (r = -0.895, p = 0.000) were found to have a highly significant negative relationship. Conclusion: It was found that women who were conceived with in vitro fertilization and diagnosed as abortus imminens had more anxiety, depression and hopelessness than women who became pregnant with the same treatment method and had a healthy pregnancy. The perceived social support rates of this group were lower compared to healthy pregnant women. Prophylactic psychotherapeutic and psychosocial support to pregnant women receiving IVF will prevent mental problems. Key words: IVF treatment, abortus imminens, depression, anxiety, hopelessness
