Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess the mental health effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on pregnant women with diabetes and hypertension, a group considered particularly vulnerable due to their additional risk factors.
- Results indicated that 79.7% of the women experienced high levels of anxiety and 59.2% had depressive symptoms, which were correlated with lower social support.
- The findings highlight the need for targeted mental health interventions for these women, as their psychological well-being is crucial for both their own health and that of their babies.
