| 摘要 | Little is known about the causal factors of antenatal depressive symptomatology in the Chinese population. A total of 1,527 pregnant women were recruited to investigate the predictors of antenatal depressive symptoms using stress process model in prospective longitudinal study. The Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale, the Dyadic Adjustment Scale, the Stryker Adjustment Checklist, and the Interpersonal Support Evaluation List were used. Multiple linear regression analysis revealed that marital conflict, parent-in-law conflict, and social support predicted antenatal depressive symptoms. Psychiatric nurses can identify predictors to help initiate preventive intervention. |
