Abstract
Objective: This research was conducted to establish the relationship between spousal support and pregnancy stress in high-risk pregnant women. Methods: The sample of the descriptive and correlational study consisted of 220 pregnant women who were hospitalized for treatment in the perinatology service of the Women’s and Children’s Hospital on the Anatolian side of Istanbul between 1st December 2020 and 1st February 2021. Data were collected using a descriptive data collection form, the Pregnancy Stress Assessment Scale, and the Spousal Support Scale. Data analysis involved numerical and percentage calculations, ANOVA test, Kruskal Wallis test, t-test, and Spearman correlation analysis. Results: The average score on the Pregnancy Stress Assessment Scale for the participating pregnant women was 50.24 ± 27.10, and the average score on the Spousal support scale was 57.69 ± 9.21. No statistically significant relationship was found between the average scores on the Pregnancy Stress Rating Scale and the Spousal Support Scale for pregnant women (P > 0.01). Conclusion: It is recommended that nurses and midwives working with high-risk pregnant women incorporate plans to reduce pregnancy stress into their care processes.
