Résumé
Introduction : Les changements dans l’accompagnement des femmes enceintes et les conditions d’accouchement en raison de la pandémie de la COVID-19 peuvent augmenter le stress vécu pendant la grossesse. Cette étude vise à examiner le stress maternel prénatal dans le contexte de la pandémie et les variables associées à ses variations. Méthode : 180 femmes enceintes de la province de Québec ont rapporté leur stress général, l’impact de la pandémie sur leur grossesse, leur stress par rapport à la pandémie, leurs données sociodémographiques ainsi que des informations sur leur grossesse et leur exposition à la pandémie. Résultats : 16 % des femmes de l’échantillon rapportent un niveau de stress général élevé, 34 % rapportent que la pandémie a un impact important sur leur grossesse et 9 % rapportent un niveau de stress élevé par rapport à la pandémie. Le jeune âge des mères, la présence d’autres enfants dans la famille, un nombre de semaines de confinement plus élevé pendant la grossesse et le fait d’avoir subi un test de dépistage pendant la grossesse sont associés à un stress global plus élevé. Les mères rapportent un impact perçu de la pandémie sur la grossesse plus élevé lorsqu’elles n’ont pas d’autres enfants, n’ont pas vécu de malaises ou de complications pendant la grossesse, ont consommé de l’alcool en période prénatale et lorsqu’un membre de leur famille immédiate a obtenu un résultat positif à la COVID-19 pendant la grossesse. Conclusion : Les caractéristiques des futures mères, de leur grossesse et leur exposition à la COVID-19 devraient être considérées dans l’offre de services en période prénatale et dans le suivi des enfants nés dans le contexte de la pandémie.

Abstract
Introduction: Changes in the care of pregnant women and childbirth conditions due to the COVID-19 pandemic may increase the stress experienced during pregnancy. This study aims to examine prenatal maternal stress in the context of the pandemic and the variables associated with its variations. Methods: 180 pregnant women from the province of Quebec, Canada, reported their general stress, the impact of the pandemic on their pregnancy, their stress related to the pandemic, their sociodemographic data as well as information about their pregnancy and exposure to the pandemic. Results: 16 % of the women in the sample reported a high level of general stress, 34 % reported that the pandemic had a significant impact on their pregnancy, and 9 % reported a high level of stress related to the pandemic. Younger mothers, the presence of other children in the family, a higher number of weeks of lockdown during pregnancy, and having been tested for COVID-19 during pregnancy are associated with higher general stress. Mothers reported a higher perceived impact of the pandemic on pregnancy when they did not have other children, did not experience complications during pregnancy, used alcohol during the prenatal period, and when a member of their immediate family tested positive for COVID-19 during pregnancy. Conclusion: The characteristics of expectant mothers, their pregnancy, and their exposure to COVID-19 should be considered in the provision of prenatal services and the follow-up of children born in the context of the pandemic.
