Anxiety and depression of women with pregnancy pathology in the context of early maladaptive schemes

Abstract

The subject of the study is anxiety and depression in women with pregnancy pathology. The article discusses the relevance of the study of pregnant women in modern society. The work is aimed at studying early maladaptive patterns in relation to anxiety and depression in women with pregnancy pathology. The materials of an empirical study obtained on a sample of women with pregnancy pathology are presented. Objective: to identify the relationship of the factor model of early maladaptive schemes with anxiety and depression in women with pregnancy pathology. The condition and behavior of the mother are one of the most important conditions for the development of the child in the postnatal period. Therefore, the high quality of psychological support for pregnancy seems to be a necessary condition for improving the mental health of women, increasing reproductive activity and increasing the birth rate, the quality of life of the population as a whole. The paper identifies the features of the existing early maladaptive schemes in women with pregnancy pathology. A factorial model of early maladaptive schemes in women with pregnancy pathology was obtained and described, in which the following components were identified: "Emotional rejection", "Over-vigilance and expectation of threat", "Focus on others", "Violated boundaries". The correlations of the factor model of early maladaptive schemes with anxiety and depression in women with pregnancy pathology are analyzed. The data obtained during the study indicate the need for psychological support for women with pregnancy pathology and can be used as a basis in the development of programs for psychological intervention of the perinatal period. The existing early childhood experience of a pregnant woman can act as a factor contributing to the development of anxiety and depression, which, in turn, determine emotional instability, personal disorders, difficulties in the social and role functioning of a woman.
