abstract: 'The COVID-19 pandemic and related public health restrictions have
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
impacted the mental health and coping strategies of many population
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
groups, including people who are pregnant. Our study sought to explore
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
the ways that pregnant people described coping with stressors associated
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
with the pandemic. N = 5879 pregnant individuals completed the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
pan-Canadian Pregnancy During the COVID-19 Pandemic Survey between April
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
and December 2020. We used descriptive statistics to quantify
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
sociodemographic characteristics and thematic analysis (Braun \& Clarke,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2006, 2019) to analyze n = 3316 open-ended text responses to the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
question ``Can you tell us what things you are doing to cope with the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
COVID-19 pandemic?{''''} The average age of participants was 32 years (SD
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
= 4.4), with the majority identifying as White (83.6\%), female
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(99.7\%), married (61.5\%), having completed post-secondary education
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(90.0\%), and working full-time (75.4\%). We categorized participant
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
responses into two overarching thematic dimensions: (1) ways of coping
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
and (2) coping challenges. Ways of coping included the following main
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
themes: (1) taking care of oneself, (2) connecting socially, (3)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
engaging in pandemic-specific coping strategies, (4) keeping busy, (5)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
taking care of others, (6) creating a sense of normalcy, (7) changing
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
perspectives, and (8) practicing spirituality. Coping challenges
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
included the following: (1) the perception of coping poorly, (2) loss of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
coping methods, (3) managing frontline or essential work, and (4)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
worries about the future. Findings highlight important implications for
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
targeted prenatal supports delivered remotely, including opportunities
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
for social support, prenatal care, and mental health strategies.'
