Placenta Previa is Associated with Maternal Psychological Distress: A Mediation Analysis of Depression, Anxiety, and Post-Traumatic Stress Symptoms
The findings of this study suggest that women diagnosed with PP who are anticipating labor have a significantly increased likelihood of developing depression, anxiety, sleep disturbances, and post-traumatic stress symptoms. Raising awareness of the adverse psychological effects associated with PP may help facilitate the implementation of screening, assessment, and intervention strategies for these patients.
