임부의 임신스트레스와 사회적 지지가 태아애착에 미치는 영향

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to identify the effects of pregnancy stress and social support on maternal-fetal attachment in pregnant women. The subjects of this study were 156 pregnant women in their second or third trimester aged 19 years or older who visited the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology of S General Hospital and K Women's Hospital in C city for prenatal care. Data were collected from July 22 to August 31, 2019. Data were analyzed by t-test, ANOVA, Scheffe test, Pearson Correlation, and multiple regression analysis using SPSS/WIN 26.0 program. Factors that affect maternal-fetal attachment include friend support, Taegyo, gestational period (third trimester), support from special person, and current health status. The explanation power was 31.5% (F=12.88, p<.001). Our study shows that social support plays a significant role in maternal-fetal attachment. For better maternal-fetal attachment, it is important to pay attention to the support from friends and special persons, Taegyo, and the health status of the pregnant women. The results of this study will serve as basic data for the development of strategies for improving fetal attachment in pregnant women.
