A qualitative examination of factors influencing pregnancy-related anxiety in Northern Ghana

CONCLUSION: Pregnant women in the region understood, experienced, and could identify perceived predictors of PrA. To address PrA, we recommend that mental health services should be integrated into the basic package of antenatal care and rural health services should be improved. Perceived predictors of PrA identified here could be included in the design of a context-specific PrA measure for use in the region.PMID:38669757 | DOI:10.1016/j.midw.2024.104014
