| description | Quality of life in pregnancy plays a key role in maternal healthcare. This study sought to determine the effects of sociodemographic characteristics, maternal risk factors and pregnancy complaints on pregnant womens quality of life. This descriptive study assessed the quality of life of 327 pregnant women using the short form of the World Health Organizations Quality of Life Assessment in conjunction with a questionnaire about sociodemographic and obstetric characteristics. Results were statistically analyzed using Independent Samples t-tests, Kruskal Wallis Variance Analysis, the Mann-Whitney U test and multiple regression analysis. Physical symptoms of pregnancy, such as fatigue, constipation, dizziness and frequent urination, decreased womens physical quality of life. Caesarean deliveries, higher spousal education levels and fewer children were significantly correlated with a higher environmental quality of life. Poor social quality of life was correlated with a history of mental illness and lower education levels (p [Med-Science 2020; 9(3.000): 549-55] |
