Résumé :
FRANÇAIS :
On relève, chez les femmes enceintes toxicomanes, une estime de soi moins bonne, renforcée par un statut social bas. L'anxiété liée à la grossesse est la même que chez les non toxicomanes. Le taux de dépression serait plus élevé.
ENGLISH :
Drug-abusing (n=25) and nonusing (n=55) pregnant women from a publicly supported prenatal clinic were tested for level of social support and of pregnancy anxiety during the last half of pregnancy. Differences found between the groups were fewer than expected. Abusers were found to report lower levels of self esteem; predicted by drug abuse, having more children and lower socioeconomic status. Drug abusers did not differ from nonusers in their overall feelings of pregnancy anxiety, but they did indicate higher fears for themselves and for the baby, and there was a tendency for higher depression and withdrawal.(Extract from the author's abstract)
