Abstract：Objective To assess anxiety and depression levels in women before and after undergoing invasive prenatal diagnostic procedures.Methods A prospective study was carried out from June 2014 to October 2014 at the Department of Prenatal Diagnosis and Fetal Medicine, The Third Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University. Questionnaires were administered to women scheduled for invasive prenatal diagnostic procedures (n=170). The questionnaires included three parts: general information, cognitive questionnaire about invasive procedures, and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HAD). The HAD scale was completed before and immediately after the invasive procedure.Results The score of anxiety and depression in younger women (<35 years of age) was (6.4±3.2) and (6.9±3.1), respectively, both of which were significantly higher than older women (≥35 year of age). The score of anxiety and depression in those with a low educational level (high school or below) was (6.8±3.4) and (7.4±2.9), respectively, both of which were significantly higher than women with a higher educational level (college degree or above). The score of anxiety before invasive procedure was (6.1±3.2), significantly higher than the score immediately after the procedure (5.2±2.7). Cognitive scores were negatively correlated with anxiety score (correlation coefficient: -0.3).Conclusion The invasive prenatal diagnostic procedures would confer some women with anxiety and depression. The degree of anxiety and depression was associated with age, educational level, and cognitive degree.
