Abstract

Aims: Pregnancy and the period after it are associated with psychological and physiological changes that sometimes lead to mental disorders and affective aspects of a person's life and relationships with others. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between spiritual well-being and resilience with health anxiety with the mediating role of self-compassion in pregnant women.
Instrument & Methods: The present descriptive study was conducted in 2020 on 371 pregnant women referred to health centers in Hamadan, Iran. They were selected by cluster randomization method from different areas of Hamadan. Several questionnaires were used to collect data: Spiritual Well-Being Scale, Self-Compassion, Health anxiety inventory, and Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS 26 and LISREL 10.2 software by descriptive statistics and Pearson correlation.
Findings: The results of path analysis showed that spiritual well-being (β=-0.36), resilience (β=0.28), and self-compassion (β=-0.55) have a significant relationship with health anxiety (p<0.01).
Conclusion: The self-compassion directly and indirectly reduces health anxiety in pregnant women.

Abstract

Aims: Pregnancy is associated with changes in the woman's nutritional needs. The mother's nutritional status affects her own health, that of the fetus, and the outcome of the pregnancy. This study aimed to determine the knowledge, attitude, and practice of pregnant women towards proper nutrition.
Instrument & Methods: This cross-sectional study was carried out on 445 pregnant women who were referred to urban health centers in Jiroft, Kiar, Fasa, Borkhar, and Ilam cities in 2020. Participants were selected by multi-stage random sampling. The instrument to collect data was multi-section research made questionnaire including demographic information, knowledge, attitude, and practice towards proper nutrition. Data was analyzed using SPSS 18 by Chi-square, t-test, ANOVA, and correlation coefficient.
Findings: The mean age of participants was 29.58±9.81 years and the mean month of pregnancy was 5.58±2.30 in all cities. Of them 59.10% had a good level of knowledge. In general, 81.10% had a positive attitude, but in Kiar city, 86.70% of pregnant women had a moderately desirable level of attitude and 63.8% were in a good level of behavior. There was a significant relationship between the history of receiving education and knowledge level in Jiroft and Kiar cities (p<0.05).
Conclusion: Due to the low levels of knowledge, attitude and practice of pregnant women towards proper nutrition, it is recommended to provide nutrition counseling for pregnant women in health centers. As a result of women's awareness of the principles of proper nutrition during pregnancy, the consequences of pregnancy will improve.
