%X to assess anxiety, depression and relationship satisfaction in both women and men during pregnancy, the state anxiety inventory (stai), the center for epidemiological studies--depression scale (ces-d) and the relationship questionnaire (rq) were administered during the second trimester to a sample of 59 pregnant women and their partners. anxious pregnant women rated their relationships as less positive. depressed pregnant women also rated their relationships as less positive. the women£¿s anxiety scores were predictive of their positive and negative relationship scores. the women and their partners£¿ negative relationship scores were also predictive of each others£¿ negative relationship scores. these results highlight the importance of targeting anxiety as well as depression, and pregnant women as well as their partners in prenatal intervention programs.
