Summary
Antenatal depression in pregnant women is influenced by sleep quality, marital satisfaction, and food habits. Early monitoring and incorporating sleep and diet management are crucial for pregnant women.
Area of Science:
- Obstetrics and Gynecology
- Psychiatry
- Public Health
Background:
- Antenatal depression affects a significant portion of pregnant women.
- Understanding its influencing factors is key for effective intervention.
Purpose of the Study:
- To identify the key factors influencing antenatal depression among pregnant women.
- To provide data for developing targeted management strategies.
Main Methods:
- Cross-sectional descriptive study with 255 pregnant women.
- Utilized Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), food habits, and Pittsburg Sleep Quality Index (PSQI).
- Stepwise multiple regression analysis was employed to identify influencing factors.
Main Results:
- The prevalence of antenatal depression was noted, with varying degrees of severity.
- Key influencing factors identified include quality of sleep, marital satisfaction, food habits, gestation period, sexual satisfaction, high-risk pregnancy status, and age.
- These factors collectively explained 47.8% of the variance in antenatal depression.
Conclusions:
- Regular monitoring for antenatal depression is recommended, especially in early pregnancy and high-risk cases.
- Improving sleep quality and food habits should be integrated into antenatal depression management.
- Addressing psychosocial factors like marital and sexual satisfaction is important.

Schizophrenia, a complex psychiatric disorder, has been historically misunderstood. Early psychological theories attributed its origins to childhood trauma and unresponsive parenting. However, contemporary research largely rejects these notions, favoring the vulnerability-stress hypothesis. This model proposes that individuals with a genetic predisposition to schizophrenia may develop the disorder following exposure to significant environmental stressors. Notably, studies on high-risk...

Human genetics provides a profound framework for understanding the interplay between genetic predispositions and human psychology. At the heart of this discipline lies the study of how genes influence physical traits, behaviors, and susceptibility to diseases. Each person carries a unique genetic code that subtly or significantly shapes their psychological and behavioral landscape.

Socio-emotional development in infancy is primarily shaped by early emotional responses and social connections, with temperament playing a central role. Temperament refers to the consistent patterns in an individual's emotional and behavioral responses, observable even in infancy. By examining temperament, researchers can better understand an infant's unique ways of interacting with the world, influencing subsequent personality and socio-emotional growth.
