Relationship between Pregnancy Stress and Anxiety in High-Risk Pregnant Women: The Mediating Effects of Sense of Mastery
نویسندگان
چکیده
This study aimed to examine the relationship between pregnancy stress and anxiety and to explore the mediating sense of mastery in this relationship among high-risk pregnant women in Korea. The data were collected between March 3 and March 30, 2015, from 118 high-risk pregnant women through structured questionnaires. Collected data were analyzed using the IBM SPSS Statistics 22 program. The mediating effect of self-esteem was analyzed using linear regressions and the Sobel test. Sense of mastery partially mediated the relationship between pregnancy stress and anxiety. The significance of this study was to decrease anxiety among increasingly high-risk pregnant women and to reinforce the need for the development and application of prenatal nursing intervention to reduce pregnancy stress through a higher sense of mastery.
