许多妇女在怀孕期间患有新的或恶化的焦虑症。在这项初步研究中，我们调查了产前状态焦虑症状的时间和严重程度对出生体重减轻的影响。我们假设：（1）与妊娠早期有症状的参与者相比，在妊娠中期有状态焦虑症状的女性将分娩出生体重较低的新生儿;（2）与焦虑症状较低的女性（< 50（第50百分位数））相比，具有中度至高度状态焦虑症状的女性（> 50（第50百分位数））将有较低的出生体重后代。样本由同意参加这项试点研究的前30名孕妇组成。我们在妊娠早期和中期使用状态-特质焦虑量表评估焦虑症状。我们从临床图表中获得了出生体重。分层多元回归分析显示，在控制了协变量后，妊娠中期的状态焦虑症状与婴儿出生体重较低相关[F（9，7）= 20.30，p
Many women suffer from new or worsening anxiety during pregnancy. In this pilot study, we investigated the effect of timing and severity of prenatal state anxiety symptoms on reduced birth weight. We hypothesized that: (1) Women with state anxiety symptoms during mid-gestation would deliver newborns with lower birth weight in comparison to participants with symptoms in early gestation and (2) compared to women with lower anxiety symptoms (< 50(th) percentile), women with medium-to-high state anxiety symptoms (> 50(th) percentile) would have lower birth weight offspring. The sample consisted of the first 30 pregnant women who agreed to participate in this pilot study. We assessed anxiety symptoms, using the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory during early and mid-gestation. We obtained birth weight from clinical charts. A hierarchical multiple regression showed that, after controlling for covariates, state anxiety symptoms in mid-gestation were associated with lower infant birth weight [F(9, 7) = 20.30, p
