Abstract:Objective To investigate the occurrence condition of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) with negative emotion, and to analyze its risk factors. Methods A total of 189 patients with GDM in our hospital form Jun. 2014 to Jun. 2016 were divided into two groups according to Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) score: GDM + negative emotion group (n = 111, HADS > 15) and GDM group (n = 88, HADS ≤ 15). In addition, the subjects in GDM + negative emotion group were divided into mild subgroup (n = 39, 16 ≤ HADS ≤ 20), medium subgroup (n = 37, 21 ≤ HADS ≤ 30) and severe subgroup (n = 35, 31 ≤ HADS ≤ 42) according to the HADS level. The association between HADS scores and other metabolic indicators was analyzed by Pearson correlation analysis. Logistic regression analysis was adopted to assess the influence factors for HADS levels in GDM patients with negative emotion. Results ① In this study, the incidence rate of GDM patients with negative emotion was 58.73% (111/189). The pre-pregnancy BMI, FPG, HbA1c, TC, TG, HDL-C, HOMA-IR levels and DM family history ratio were higher in GDM + negative emotion group than those in GDM group (P < 0.05); ② The FPG, HbA1c, TC, TG, HDL-C and HOMA-IR levels were higher in severe subgroup than those in mild subgroup and in medium subgroup, and the FPG, HbA1c, TC and HOMA-IR levels were higher in medium subgroup than those in mild subgroup (P < 0.05); ③ Pearson correlation analysis showed that the pre-pregnancy BMI, weight gain, FPG, HbA1c, TC, TG, HDL-C, HOMA-IR levels and DM family history ratio were related factors for HADS scores (P < 0.05); ④ Logistic regression analysis showed that pre-pregnancy BMI, weight gain, HbA1c levels and DM family history ratio were risk factors for GDM patients with negative emotion (all P < 0.01). Conclusion The incidence rate of negative emotion is higher in GDM patients, and in particular, the patients with high levels of pre-pregnancy BMI, high weight gain, high HbA1c and with family history of diabetes. Therefore, it is necessary to intervene early and provide more psychological counseling for preventing the occurrence of negative emotions.
