- Abstract:
Objective The aim of the present study was to examine the significance of the relationship between biomarkers and selfreported psychological distress as physiological and sociopsychological assessment indexes, respectively. Methods The Ichushi-Web, PubMed, CiNii, and Cochrane Library databases were searched, with “pregnancy,” “pregnant women,” “stress,” and “hormones” as keywords. Articles that discussed the use of indexes for physiological and sociopsychological assessments of mental stress experienced by pregnant women were extracted. As a result, 10 Japanese and 32 overseas articles were selected for review. Results Cortisol level was frequently used as a stress biomarker in all the articles. The number of biomarkers was greater in the overseas articles than in the Japanese articles. The results clarified that the physiological and sociopsychological assessment indexes were not always associated and correlated. Conclusion 1) Physiological assessments should be chosen depending on the study purpose and biomarkers used in the study. 2) Indexes for physiological and sociopsychological assessments are not always associated and correlated. 3) Demographic factors and the survey period may affect the assessments of mental stress indexes among pregnant women. 4) Mental stress in pregnant women should be evaluated from various aspects such as a combination of plural physiological and sociopsychological assessment indexes, an interview method, and a prospective study.

- Abstract:
目 的 本研究では,妊婦の精神的ストレスのバイオマーカーを生理的評価指標に,尺度を用いた質問紙調査 によるものを心理社会的評価指標に位置づけ,両指標の関連性について検討することを目的とした。 方 法 医学中央雑誌Web版,PubMed,CiNii,The Cochrane libraryをデータベースとし,「妊娠期」「ストレ ス」「Pregnancy」「women」「Stress」「Hormones」をキーワードに検索した。妊婦の精神的ストレスに関 して生理的・心理社会的評価指標の両指標を用いた文献を抽出し,国内文献10編,海外文献32編をレ ビュー対象文献とした。 結 果 活用頻度の高いストレスのバイオマーカーはCortisolである。国外の先行研究では,バイオマーカー を複数組み合わせた調査が国内より多くあった。妊婦の精神的ストレスに関する生理的・心理社会的評 価指標間には,関連性・相関性は必ずしもあるわけではなく,一部に認められる,あるいは関連性・相 関性がないことが明らかになった。 結 論 1) 生理的評価指標を用いる場合,研究目的とバイオマーカーの特徴に応じた選定が重要である。 2) 生理的評価指標と心理社会的評価指標は必ずしも関連性・相関性があるとは限らない。 3) 妊婦の精神的ストレスの評価指標には,社会統計学的因子や調査時期等が影響を及ぼす可能性が ある。 4) 複数の生理的・心理社会的評価指標の組み合わせ及びインタビュー法・前向き研究等,多側面から の評価が必要である。 [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
