Stress and quality of life postpreterm birth during polycrises: prospective cohort study
This study highlights the impact of social support, stress, and QoL on preterm birth outcomes in a crisis-affected region. Mothers of preterm infants experienced higher stress and lower QoL at birth, suggesting the need for targeted interventions to support maternal mental health. Addressing these social determinants is needed for improving pregnancy outcomes, particularly in vulnerable populations facing multiple social and economic challenges.
