Problems and risks associated with the progress of pregnancy
often require hospital treatment. This is a special situation
for women who are expecting a baby as it is associated with
anxiety about the pregnancy and the health of the child. An
additional factor affecting the emotions of pregnant women
is unknown environment during hospitalization. A pregnant
woman encounters other women who, like her, struggle with
difficulties in the hospital’s pregnancy ward. Ailments and the
risks of pregnancy complication canvary significantly. Theyoften
require quick medical staff reaction. Personal problems and
situations observed in the ward affect the image of childbirth.
Aim of the study:
The aim of the study is to assess the intensity
of stress in the group of pregnant people in the pregnancy
pathology ward. Another goal is to evaluate the stress level
associated with pregnancy complications and the impact of the
hospital environment on the image of delivery.
Methods of evaluation:
The assessment of the intensity of
stress in hospitalized pregnant women was investigated using
a standardized PSS-10 questionnaire. It contains 10 questions
about individual feelings related to problems and events that
occurred during the last month. The diagnostic survey method
was also used for the study. The questionnaire contained
questions about the impact of stress associated with the
hospital stay on the image of delivery. Research process: The
study included 100 pregnant women - patients of the Ward of
Pregnancy
Pathology in Specialist Hospital of Stefan Żeromski in Krakow.
The study was conducted in January and February 2018.
Results:
Overall, bedrest inhospital seemedtonotbeassociated
withmore sources of stress. Therewere no differences between
the occurrence of emergency events and their frequency
during the stay and the increase of fear of childbirth (p=0,193).
Similarly, the length of bed rest in the hospital was not related
with the increase the fear of childbirth (p=0,508).
Conclusion:
Women experience many different emotions and
stressors during restricted bed rest at hospital. The results of
this study suggested that these experiences do not increase the
fear of childbirth.
