Purpose: This study aims to not only determine the psychological distress, fetal attachment, marital intimacy, and quality of life of preterm labor women but also identify factors that affect quality of life.
Method: This is a descriptive correlational research study to determine the psychological distress, fetal attachment, marital intimacy, and quality of life of pregnant women in early labor, as well as to identify influential factors that affect quality of life. The study was conducted from November 2020 to August 2023 on 141 mothers who were diagnosed with preterm labor and were receiving treatment at a university hospital in Jeollabuk-do. Data were analyzed using the WHOQOL-BREF, DASS-21, Fetal Attachment Scale, and Marital Intimacy Scale. The study was analyzed using the SPSS 25.0 program.
Results: There was a significant difference in the average monthly household income of pregnant women in preterm labor on their quality of life(t=3.13, p=.047). Additionally, mothers who received regular prenatal checkups had significantly higher quality of life scores(t=2.15, p=.033). Regarding quality of life, the pregnant women in preterm labor showed a strong negative correlation with psychological distress(r=-.55, p<.001) and a strong positive correlation with marital intimacy(r=.49, p<.001). A moderate positive correlation was found with fetal attachment (r=.33, p<.001). Based on the results of multiple regression analysis, psychological distress(β=-.44, p<.001) and marital intimacy(β=.33, p<.001) had a significant impact on quality of life. The higher the psychological distress, the lower the quality of life, and the higher the marital intimacy of preterm labor women, the higher the quality of life. The explanatory power of this model to elucidate the quality of life of preterm labor women is 43%.
Conclusion: Psychological distress, a personal factor, has the greatest impact on the quality of life of preterm labor women, and the second most influential factor is marital intimacy, a partner factor. Therefore, to improve the quality of life of pregnant women in early labor, psychological intervention is needed to improve the relationship between women with preterm labor and spouse.
