Abstract | Objective: The objective of this study was to document levels of interest in stress management training (SMT) during pregnancy, including differences in interest in SMT across levels of medical risk in pregnancy. We also sought to assess differences in pregnancy-specific stress, prenatal worry and depressed mood across levels of medical risk in pregnancy and investigate predictors of interest in SMT. Methods: We surveyed 379 English-speaking, pregnant people living in Vancouver, Canada, between November 2007 and November 2010. Questionnaires were administered during the third trimester and assessed interest and preferred format of SMT, pregnancy-specific stress, prenatal worry, depressed mood and medical risk in pregnancy. Results: Interest in stress management training programmes during pregnancy was common, with 32% of participants being quite-to-very interested. Preference was split between self-guided study (41%), group counselling (38%) and one-on-one counselling (34%). Higher pregnancy-specific stress and depressed mood, but not medical risk in pregnancy, were associated with higher interest in SMT. Participants experiencing higher stress levels or lower medical risk were more interested in one-on-one counselling. Conclusion: Findings indicate that subjective distress rather than objective circumstances is a better predictor of interest in SMT. Care providers should inquire early-on about interest in SMT during pregnancy and ensure awareness of SMT options. |
