Ansiedade traço e estado na gestação de alto risco em mulheres atendidas em um Hospital Escola de Alagoas

Abstract

The present study has as research object the presence of high levels of trait-anxiety e state- anxiety in high-risk pregnant women. It is known that the pregnancy-puerperal cycle demands special attention due to the physical, hormonal and social changes that have occurred, in addition to the emotional ambivalence experienced during this period. The study aims to assess levels of trait-anxiety e state-anxiety in high-risk pregnant women and their relationship with risk factors during pregnancy. This is a cross-sectional, descriptive study with a quantitative approach. 100 pregnant women classified as high risk, with gestational age from 20 weeks and monitored by the HUPPA service, were interviewed. The collection took place through an identification questionnaire and the trace-state anxiety inventory - STAI. This study identified the relation between gestational age, education, family income and non- planning of pregnancy with trait anxiety, where it appears that higher gestational age, lower education, lower family income and non-planning of pregnancy accompany higher trait anxiety levels. In addition, he also identified that there is a relation between marital status and state anxiety, where pregnant women who are married or in a free union had moderate to high levels, referring to the quality of these affective relationships. Thus, it is understood that nursing must pay attention to the signs and symptoms of anxiety in order to contribute to a peaceful and pleasant pregnancy, delivery and puerperium, in addition to reducing complications to the fetus.
