Core Tip
Core Tip: Few studies have examined the correlation between depression, anxiety, and insomnia in hypertensive disorders in pregnancy (HDP). In this study, 122 HDP cases were analyzed for these variables. Depression and anxiety were closely associated with insomnia. Previous HDP history, limited spousal support, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index > 5, and monthly income < 4000 yuan elevated depression and anxiety risks in HDP.
