Pregnant mothers typically will experience both physical and psychological changes that naturally come alongside their physical and hormonal changes. The spread and transmission of SARS-CoV-2 is very rapid such that it is now considered as a pandemic. This pandemic force government to release several policies such as mask-mandate, handwashing-mandate, and crowd limitation to reduce the spread of the virus on everyone, including expecting mothers. Due to the pandemic, a lot of social interaction must be limited, including the routine pregnancy medical examination. In other hand, expecting mothers tends to be more easily anxious due to many reasons that can compromise their fetus and their own health. The objective of this research is to obtain a qualitative description of mothers’ anxiousness in relation to the COVID-19 pandemic situation. Google forms filled by the respondents were mainly used as tool to collect descriptive data in this research. The data was collected at Restu Pregnancy Clinic at Pakis Malang. 30 respondents who were doing ante-natal-care (ANC) are chosen by total sampling technique from the clinic. The data collected was then analyzed by frequency table and percentage. The instrument used was the perinatal anxiety screening scale (PASS). The result obtained indicated that most of the expecting mothers in the Restu Pregnancy Clinic are having light-medium level of anxiety level during COVID-19 pandemic situation.

A comparative study was conducted among 100 primi gravida mothers (50 mothers in each group) from MCH clinic and IPD of IGM hospital, Agartala, West Tripura, who had planned for normal vaginal delivery and caesarean section. Research approach used was non experimental quantitative approach and research design was descriptive comparative design. Purposive sampling technique was used to draw the sample. Socio demographic data and modified Perinatal Anxiety Screening Scale were used to collect data from the samples through interview method. Analysis revealed that 52% of the primi gravida who had planned for caesarean section and 44% mothers who had planned for normal vaginal delivery had mild symptoms of anxiety. Mean anxiety score of the mothers who planned for caesarean section and normal vaginal delivery was 27.3 and 19.7 respectively, median 28.855 and 18.915 respectively and SD 7.0715 and 8.038 respectively. The mean difference was 7.6 and unpaired ‘t’ value was 5.0198, which was significant at p<0.05. Analysis of variance result showed that there was significant association between the level of anxiety of the primi gravida mothers who had planned for caesarean section with their selected socio demographic variable ‘occupation of husband’. The calculated ‘F’ value was 3.33 at p<0.05. The researcher concluded that the primi gravida mothers who had planned for caesarean section had more anxiety than the mothers who had planned for normal vaginal delivery and the anxiety level of the mothers who had planned for caesarean section was dependent on selected demographic variable occupation of the husband. Keywords:Anxiety, primi gravida, normal vaginal delivery, caesarean section.

Abstract Background Anxiety among women in the perinatal period is common. Assessing the severity of perinatal anxiety will help monitor the progress of the patient through the stages of anxiety and facilitated the treatment. This study assesses the validity and reliability of the “Perinatal Anxiety Screening Scale” (PASS) in the Arabic language. Methods The PASS was translated into Arabic. Two hundred seventeen women in the antenatal and postnatal phase participated (92 antenatal and 125 postnatal) answered to PASS, GHQ12, EPDS-10, and DASS-21. Content validity, factor analysis, internal consistency, and test retest reliability were assessed. Results Content Validity Index (CVI) and Content Validity Ratio (CVR) were .88 and 0.79; respectively. The scale loaded on four components: acute anxiety, social anxiety, and dissociation; specific fears and trauma; general anxiety and adjustment; and perfectionism and control. Cronbach’s Alpha value for the scale was 0.78 and test retest correlation coefficient was 0.94. PASS significantly correlated with EPDS-10 (rho=0.46), GHQ-12(rho=0.58), the three components of DASS-21 (0.47, 0.50, and 0.43; respectively), and experiencing adverse life events. Conclusion The Arabic translated version of the PASS showed reasonably adequate validity and reliability and can be used to screen for anxiety disorder among women in the perinatal phase.

Literature stressed the importance of using valid, reliable measures to assess anxiety in the perinatal period, like the self-rated Perinatal Anxiety Screening Scale (PASS). We aimed to examine the psychometric properties of the Italian PASS version in a sample of Italian women undergoing mental health screening during their third trimester of pregnancy and its diagnostic accuracy in a control perinatal sample of psychiatric outpatients. Sample comprised 289 women aged 33.17 ± 5.08, range 19–46 years, undergoing fetal monitoring during their third trimester of pregnancy, with 49 of them retested 6 months postpartum. Controls were 60 antenatal or postnatal psychiatric outpatients aged 35.71 ± 5.02, range 22–50 years. Groups were assessed through identical self- and clinician-rating scales. Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA), Principal Component Analysis (PCA), Pearson's correlations and receiver operating characteristic were conducted for PASS. PCA and CPA confirmed four-factor structure with slight differences from the original version. Construct validity and test-retest reliability were supported. Cut-off was 26. The PASS correlated with principal anxiety scales. Despite small sample size, findings confirm reliability and validity of the Italian PASS version in assessing anxiety symptoms in the perinatal period. Its incorporation in perinatal care will improve future mother and child psychological health.
