Description
Misun Jin and Soonyoung Shon surveyed hospitalised high-risk pregnant women in South Korea about factors tied to depression before birth. High-risk means the pregnancy carries threats to mother or baby, and such women face added worry and stress.
The survey covered 169 women at a large hospital, and about 44 percent scored in the mild to severe depression range. Resilience, the ability to bounce back, showed the strongest protective link against depression in the analysis. Pregnancy stress pushed the other way as a clear risk factor, while wanting the pregnancy also lowered scores. Marital satisfaction did not predict depression on its own, so Jin backs resilience training and stress checks.
