Demographic, psychological and relationship factors are associated with resource loss among pregnant women.

CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS: Depressive mood was a major risk factor for resource loss among pregnant women, whereas social support and relationship intimacy had a protective role. The results highlight the importance of screening for depressive mood and level of resources during routine prenatal care, in order to identify pregnant women at risk of depression. The findings point to interventions that foster patient's emotions to help them protect resources. PMID: 30741564 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
