Acceptance of situation involved with health status of patients from the pregnancy pathology and obstetrics departments

Introduction: Each disease, in spite of its degree, creates some problems to its adaptation.
The aim of the study: The assessment of acceptance of health status of patients from the department of pregnancy pathology and obstetrics.
Material and methods: The study included 200 patients from departament of pregnancy pathology (94) and obstetrics (106). We used the Acceptance of Illness Scale (AIS).
Results: Almost 29.5% of respondents were hospitalized due to status post cesarean sectio, physiological delivery – 23.5%, gestational diabetes – 13.5%, prematurity delivery – 11.5%, multiple pregnancy – 4.5%, risk of abortion – 2.5%, spontaneous abortion – 8.5%, or pregnancy-induced hypertension – 6.5%. The acceptance of illness score of patients was (23.6 ±6.99). Significant difference (p = 0.002) between mean AIS score of patients from departments of pregnancy pathology 22.5 ±6.1), and obstetrics (24.5 ±2.3) was found. Women with multiple pregnancies had a high AIS score (32.2 ±9.5). Women with pregnancy-induced hypertension had mean value of AIS score (27.0 ±3.10), after physiological delivery (26.7 ±1.8), gestational diabetes (25.5 ±9.5) or post cesarean sectio (22.2 ±1.7). Patients with risk of abortion (15.0 ±1.8), after spontaneous abortion (17.3 ±1.5) or risk of prematurity delivery (18.2 ±1.7) had no acceptance of illness.
Conclusions: Significant difference between mean AIS score of patients from the departments was found. Women with multiple pregnancies had a high AIS score, and women with risk of abortion, after spontaneous abortion, and risk of prematurity delivery had lack acceptance of illness.
