Abstract:

Objective To investigate the prevalence of anxiety disorder in patients with abnormal pregnancy history and its correlation factors. Methods From April 2012 to June 2013, 156 patients with abnormal pregnancy history from our genetic consultation outpatient clinic were evaluated by psychological clinic doctors, using Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAMA). Patients whose score were above 14 (including 14) were diagnosed as anxiety. Results ①Seventy-one of 156 (45.5%) cases were diagnosed as anxiety. ②To compare the following 5 factors with the onsets of anxiety, that is, patients' age, educational level, living environment (rural or urban), incomes, with/without development abnormalities. The results showed patients' age was significantly relevant to anxiety(P=0.008), that is, the incidence of anxiety was increased with patients' age. Furthermore, Patients over 35 years-old are more likely to have anxiety mood. Educational level is another factor related to anxiety(P=0.028). Patients with higher educational background are more likely to have anxiety mood. Conclusion Nearly half of patients with abnormal pregnancy background have anxiety mood, especially elderly patients. A genetic consultation doctor should pay more attention to identify patients' anxiety disorders and give them professional psychological therapy.
