Criteria for evaluating the psychoemotional status of primiparas

A comprehensive clinical and laboratory study was performed in 155 primiparas. A study group comprised 62 women who underwent physiopsychoprophylactic preparation for labor, by using aromatherapy and rehabilitation under sanatorium conditions. A control group consisted of 93 patients who were followed up by the classical procedure for physiopsychoprophylactic preparation for labor. During pregnancy, there was an increase in the blood concentrations of the stress hormones cortisol and adrenocorticotropic hormone, as well as neutrophiljses, leukopenia, and eosinopenia in the control group, which shows the tension of the mechanisms of homeostasis, including the psychic adaptation system.
