Methods
The participants in this study were 112 pregnant women who called the Korean MothersafeProfessional Counseling Center for teratogen risk counseling. Data were collected using astructured questionnaire including scales for general characteristics, maternal personality socialsupport, antenatal stress, maternal-fetal attachment, and depression. Data were analyzed usingdescriptive statistics, t-teat, ANOVA, Pearson’s correlation coefficient and stepwise multiple regressionwith the SPSS/WIN 18.0 program.
Results
The number of depression group was 37.5%. The average score for depression was10.6±6.5 points. The level of maternal personality had a weak correlation with the level of depression(r=.360, p<.001), while there was a weak negative correlation between level of socialsupport and depression (r=-.326, p<.001). The correlation between the degree of antenatal stressand the level of depression was moderate (r=.642, p<.001). The most powerful predictor of depressionwas antenatal stress (β=.60, p<.001). A combination of antenatal stress, maternal personality,social support, cause of drugs exposure, and maternal-fetal attachment accounted for54.3% of the variance in depression.
