Area of Science:

Obstetrics and Gynecology
Maternal Mental Health
Clinical Psychology

Background:

Negative emotions during pregnancy are linked to adverse obstetric outcomes.
This study investigated the impact of prenatal emotional management on outcomes in nulliparous women.

Purpose of the Study:

To determine the effectiveness of a prenatal emotional management program.
To assess the impact on obstetric outcomes in nulliparas.

Main Methods:

Randomized controlled trial comparing emotional management (EM) with usual care (UC).
Participants assessed using PHQ-9 and Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS).
Follow-up from 31 weeks gestation to 42 days postpartum.

Main Results:

The EM group showed significantly lower PHQ-9 scores during pregnancy and postpartum.
Lower EPDS scores were observed in the EM group 42 days postpartum.
The EM group had a reduced rate of cesarean sections, particularly those without medical indication, and a shorter second stage of labor.

Conclusions:

Prenatal emotional management effectively controls anxiety and depressive symptoms in nulliparas.
This intervention improves key obstetric outcomes, including reducing cesarean section rates.
Prenatal EM presents an innovative strategy to enhance maternal and obstetric care, with potential application in China.
