The internal picture of pregnancy in women with reproductive tract infections
Abstract
The article presents the results of a study aimed to identify the peculiarities of the internal picture of pregnancy (IPP) of women with reproductive tract infections (RTI), whose delivery is planned in the obstetric observation. The study involved 60 first-time and second-time women in the third trimester of pregnancy who were first infected with urogenital chlamydia, urogenital trichomoniasis or genital herpes during gestation, as well as 60 conditionally healthy pregnant women. The IPP in pregnant women with RTI includes underscore estimates of pregnancy, a reduced value of the situation of childbirth and motherhood. Women in this group have an increased level of symptoms of anxiety and depression, as well as specific fears associated with the perinatal period. Pregnant women with RTI are less likely to be characterized by constructive motivation for the child born. In the ontogenesis of the motherhood of pregnant women with RTI, a tense, anxious and detached style of interaction with their mother in childhood is more often present. In the early childhood experience of these women, there are violations of the passage of the separation stage with the mother according to the type of dependence preservation. The experience of motherhood in pregnant women with RTI has a generally negative effect on the components of IPP and should be studied further. The results of the study showed the relevance of strengthening measures to prevent the appearance and development of RTI in women during pregnancy. The necessity of organizing psychological assistance to women aimed at increasing adherence to the treatment of acute RTI and following the recommendations of the attending physician, as well as the formation of psychological readiness for the childbirth is shown.
