    Area of Science:

    • Psychology
    • Obstetrics
    • Perinatal Health

    Background:

    • Premature labor is a significant concern in perinatal health.
    • Understanding the psychological correlates of premature labor is crucial for developing effective interventions.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the relationship between psychological variables and premature labor.
    • To examine psychopathological tendencies, attitudes towards pregnancy, physical complaints, and social support in relation to premature delivery.

    Main Methods:

    • Two studies were conducted: one retrospective and one prospective.
    • Data collection involved comparing women with premature labor/contractions to those with term deliveries.
    • Psychological variables assessed included psychopathology, attitudes toward pregnancy, physical complaints, social support, and anxiety levels.

    Main Results:

    • Psychopathological tendencies were significantly associated with premature labor and premature contractions.
    • No significant differences were found in perceived social support or mothers' attitudes toward pregnancy between groups.
    • Trait and state anxiety were examined in the prospective study.

    Conclusions:

    • Psychopathological tendencies appear to be a contributing factor to premature labor and contractions.
    • Social support and maternal attitudes towards pregnancy may not be direct predictors of premature labor in the studied populations.
