Abstract: (58 Views)
This study aimed to investigate the mediating role of emotional dysregulation in the relationship between early maladaptive schemas and mother's perceived parenting styles with anxiety in pregnant women. The current research was a descriptive-correlation type of path analysis. The study population was all pregnant women referring to health centers, midwifery centers, and gynecology offices in Tehran in 2022, who were in the early months of pregnancy until the seventh month. Among them, 397 people were selected as samples. Research tools included: Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scales (DASS, Lovibond & Lovibond, 1995), Difficulties in emotion regulation scale (DERS, Gratz & Roemer, 2004), Young Parenting Inventory (YPI, Young, 1999), and Young Schema Questionnaire (YSQ, Young, 1990). The data were analyzed using the path analysis method. The results of path analysis indicated the appropriate fit of the model. The findings showed that impaired autonomy and performance, vigilance and inhibition, and inhibitions and other orientations were able to directly predict anxiety (p<0.001). Also, disconnection and rejection, impaired autonomy and performance vigilance and inhibition, and the mother's perceived parenting styles can indirectly predict anxiety in pregnant women through emotional dysregulation (p< 0.001). These results show that disconnection and rejection, impaired autonomy and performance over vigilance and inhibition, and the mother's perceived parenting styles can explain anxiety in pregnant women due to the important role of emotional dysregulation.
