Clinical Trial Summary

placenta previa is an obstetric complication which is associated with depression and anxiety.

As little is known about the emotional reaction to the diagnosis of placenta previa/accrete, a study is badly needed to estimate the magnitude of this problem and its effects on the mother

Description:

Placenta previa is an obstetric complication with a prevalence of 5.2 per 1000 pregnancies. placenta previa is associated with maternal morbidity and mortality. The delivery carries a risk of bleeding, emergency hysterectomy, organ damage and even death. During admission, counselling is done for the possible need for delivery at any time and the need for life saving hysterectomy. hysterectomy is a tough and difficult choice for patients, and the subsequent emotional process is often associated with depression, severe and prolonged feelings of sadness, diminished interest in activities and in sexual intercourse. Similarly, severe adverse psychological outcomes, including post-traumatic stress disorders, have been reported as a result of traumatic birth events. Antenatal depression and anxiety occur in approximately 13% and up to 21.7% of women, respectively. Rates of antenatal depression among women hospitalized for obstetrical risk can be as high as 19%.

Research about the responses to a diagnosis of placenta previa is scarce. A study found increased anxiety score in women diagnosed with Placenta accreta spectrum. Other studies focussed on the post-trauma stress associated with hysterectomy versus uterine conservation.

As little is known about the emotional reaction to the diagnosis of placenta previa/accrete, a study is badly needed to estimate the magnitude of this problem and its effects on the mother.
