The Coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has brought about unprecedented social, economic and mental-health challenges, especially for vulnerable populations such as pregnant and post-partum females. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the relations between the fear of COVID-19 and postnatal depression symptoms.
This is a multicenter prospective cohort study of childbearing women during COVID-19. Participants completed a comprehensive online questionnaire including demographic, socioeconomic, obstetric, and postnatal mental-health questionnaires. Data were verified with each center's perinatal database and information regarding physiological stress during pregnancy/birth was also collected. Fear of COVID-19 was evaluated using the validated Fear of COVID-19 Scale and postnatal depression was evaluated using the EPDS. Pre-existing maternal disability was defined as prior physiological or psychological chronic health condition.
