Innovations in the Research of the Relationship of Mental and Reproductive Health: Changes in Personality Profiles in Young Women with Pregnancy Pathology and the Reflection of Obstetric-Gynecological Diseases on Their Psychological Status

This practical work is aimed at identifying various changes and disorders in personality profiles in a specific cohort of the population: young women from 18 to 30 years old with pregnancy pathology. In addition to this experimental part of the article, which also includes a study of situational and personal anxiety, the relationship of these indicators with existing obstetric and gynecological pathologies and their severity, global parameters were also revealed in the context of this topic. A woman’s well-being psychoemotional state is of high enough importance for the normal course of pregnancy, and in the future, childbirth. Current research in this area dictates the existence of a two-way relationship between mental and reproductive health. Problems in the reproductive sphere are certainly a powerful trigger and etiological factor in the occurrence of stress, anxiety, and personality profile disorders. In turn, various kinds of psychological disorders often cause violations of the reproductive potential of women, especially those of young age and with an unstable nervous system. And pregnancy, as mentioned above, being a period of increased risk of developing pathologies in the psycho-emotional sphere, often becomes a trigger factor in the manifestation of hidden changes. A correlation analysis conducted after evaluating the personality profiles of patients revealed their violation in 84%, and the main scales that appeared in high and low scores were the scales of depression and hysteria. Pregnant women in this group were certainly more irritable and nervous. Anxiety, assessed both as a property and as a condition, had a high level – 48% and 18%, respectively. The scientific novelty of the work lies in the research of this issue by reviewing leading articles and conducting their own practical research. We are confident that all clinicians should monitor this population group with extreme caution, as evidenced once again by the results of the work and the conclusions revealed against its background.
