Prenatal Attachment, Personality, and Depression in High-Risk Pregnancies During Pandemic Emergencies.

Prenatal Attachment, Personality, and Depression in High-Risk Pregnancies During Pandemic Emergencies.

Publication date: Nov 25, 2024

Background: The observational study investigates how personality factors influence depression, prenatal attachment, and fear of COVID-19 in women with high-risk pregnancies. Methods: Women experiencing a high-risk pregnancy between the 20th and 24th weeks of gestation (N = 84) were selected. The Personality Inventory (PI), Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), Prenatal Attachment Inventory (PAI), and Fear of COVID (FCV-19S) were used for data collection. Results: Agreeableness was significantly negatively correlated with fear of COVID-19 (r = -0. 33, p = 0. 002) and positively correlated with prenatal attachment (r = 0. 28, p = 0. 008). Conscientiousness was negatively correlated with prenatal attachment (r = 0. 34, p = 0. 001). Depression was positively correlated with fear of COVID-19 (r = 0. 27, p = 0. 013). Linear regressions showed that agreeableness negatively predicted fear of COVID-19 (β = -0. 34, p = 0. 002) and positively predicted prenatal attachment (β = 0. 27, p = 0. 008). Conscientiousness negatively influenced prenatal attachment (β = -0. 35, p = 0. 001). Conclusions: This study explores personality traits in high-risk pregnancies, a variable underexplored in this clinical population. High-risk pregnancies may lead to adverse outcomes for both mother and child.
