The present study is focused to investigate the prevalence of anxiety and
depression among married pregnant and non-pregnant women and to find
out the risk factors that are responsible for the development of these
disorders during pregnancy. Total sample was comprised of three hundred
married women (N=300): half of them were pregnant (n= 150) and half of
them were married non-pregnant (n= 150). Data was obtained from public
and government sector hospitals in Peshawar. Urdu version of the Hospital
Anxiety and Depression Scale was used to assess the symptoms of anxiety and
depression. Results revealed that both moderate and sever anxiety were more
prevalent among pregnant as compare to non-pregnant women. However,
pregnant women exhibited slightly low level of moderate depression than
non-pregnant women. To make the comparison between the two groups ttest was used. Further, to assess the risk factors for anxiety and depression
during pregnancy, regression analysis was conducted by using the data of
pregnant women only. Results indicated that all three variables:
socioeconomic status, domestic violence, and husband’s employment are
significantly linked to anxiety and depression during pregnancy.
