ABSTRACT
Objective:
To compare prenatal attachment in women hospitalised due to high-risk pregnancy with prenatal attachment in non-hospitalised patients. To describe the impact of social support, socio-demographic factors and the nature of the pregnancy on prenatal attachment, anxiety and depression. StudyDesign:
An exploratory, cross-sectional and descriptive study utilising the Maternal Antenatal Attachment Scale, the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale and the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory. The sample comprised 80 hospitalised and 88 non-hospitalised patients.Result:
No difference in prenatal attachment was found between the two groups. The hospitalised group presented higher levels of depressive symptomatology and anxiety. Social support had a significant effect on the hospitalised group, improving attachment quality.Conclusion:
Incorporation of members of the patient's support network may help to improve quality of prenatal attachment during hospitalisation. Detection and treatment of anxiety and/or depression in hospitalised patients is recommended given their impact on the mental health of mother and baby.Palabras clave
