Soultanopoulos Ülke: Netherlands Oturum: 4050 - FREE COMMUNICATIONS 15: SPECIAL POPULATIONS & PERINATAL CARE Tarih: Fri, 25.09.2026, 16:35 - 16:45 Salon: Hall K11 Positive mental health and anxiety during pregnancy are bidirectionally associated in two large cohorts; targeting positive mental health may offer a clinically meaningful approach to reducing antenatal anxiety. Antenatal anxiety is an important risk factor for adverse maternal and infant outcomes; however, mental health during pregnancy encompasses not only the absence of anxiety but also positive psychological functioning. This study examined whether positive mental health (PMH) in mid-pregnancy predicted anxiety in late pregnancy and vice versa, and whether changes in PMH and anxiety were associated with each other throughout pregnancy. Data from two prospective cohorts were analyzed: the Dutch Living to the Full During Pregnancy study (n = 1,063) and the Finnish PREDO study (n = 2,529). PMH (well-being, mindfulness, positive affect) and anxiety (general and pregnancy-specific) were assessed in mid- and late pregnancy, and bidirectional longitudinal associations were examined using multivariable linear regression and change-score analyses. In the Dutch cohort, higher anxiety in mid-pregnancy predicted lower PMH in late pregnancy (β: -0.30 to -0.54, ps < .001), while higher PMH predicted lower subsequent anxiety (β: -0.31 to -0.54, ps < .001). In longitudinal change analyses, increases in anxiety predicted decreases in PMH (β ≈ -0.32, p < .001), while increases in PMH predicted decreases in anxiety (β ≈ -0.30, p < .001); similar inverse associations were observed in the PREDO cohort (β ≈ -0.20 to -0.40, ps < .001). These findings suggest that interventions targeting PMH may offer a clinically meaningful approach to reducing antenatal anxiety and supporting resilience during the transition to parenthood.
