Popis: Objective To investigate the relationships of psychological stress, preeclampsia/gestational hypertension symptoms, confidence in self‐monitoring, well‐being, and perceived social support with preeclampsia/gestational hypertension disease progression in outpatient women. Women with mild and severe preeclampsia/gestational hypertension were compared for differences in these variables. Design A retrospective, correlational, and comparative design. Setting Postpartum units of three urban hospitals in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Participants One hundred postpartum women with preeclampsia/gestational hypertension. Main outcome measures Psychological stress measured by the Perceived Stress Scale, preeclampsia/gestational hypertension symptoms by the Preeclampsia/Gestational Hypertension Checklist, confidence in self‐monitoring by the Self‐Confidence in Self‐Monitoring Scale, well‐being by the Index of Well‐Being, and social support by the Interpersonal Support Evaluation List. Results Women with worsening/severe preeclampsia/gestational hypertension reported a significantly higher number of symptoms than women with mild preeclampsia/gestational hypertension ( p = .02). Psychological stress was significantly higher ( p = .04) in women with worsening/severe preeclampsia/gestational hypertension. There were no differences in well‐being, self‐confidence in self‐monitoring, or perceived social support between women with mild preeclampsia/gestational hypertension and those with worsening preeclampsia/gestational hypertension. Conclusion Worsening/severe preeclampsia/gestational hypertension was associated with increasing psychological stress and a higher number of preeclampsia/gestational hypertension symptoms.
