Description
This database includes the raw data linked with the paper “Post-partum women's anxiety and parenting stress: home-visiting protective effect during the COVID-19 pandemic”.
This publication is part of the longitudinal project “Measuring the outcomes of maternal COVID-19-related prenatal exposure (MOM-COPE)” research project. The present work assesses mothers' anxiety levels at delivery and parenting stress after three months as moderated by home-visiting sessions.
Procedures
Women (n = 177) in their second or third trimester of pregnancy during the COVID-19 lockdown were enrolled and split into those who did and did not receive home visits. After three months, the association between anxiety at delivery and parenting stress was assessed.
Analytical plan
The association between anxiety at delivery and parenting stress was assessed with bivariate correlations in the whole sample and comparing the two groups.
Findings in brief
Higher anxiety at birth correlated with greater perceived stress after three months. Mothers who received at least one home-visiting session reported lower parenting stress at three months than counterparts who did not receive home visits.
