It explored their knowledge of mental health issues during pregnancy, health-seeking behaviors, and the effects of mental health problems on their quality of life. Methodology: A descriptive cross-sectional design was adopted, involving 160 pregnant women selected through proportional stratified sampling. Data were collected using a structured, validated questionnaire. Analysis was conducted using SPSS version 21, with results summarized through descriptive statistics and chi-square tests to identify significant relationships. Results: Findings revealed that 67.5% of respondents had basic education, and 37.5% earned over 50,000 monthly. Many reported symptoms of psychological distress, including persistent worry (33.1%) and feelings of detachment (34.2%). Health-seeking behaviors were high, with 44.4% of respondents indicating they had practical support during pregnancy. The study also found significant relationships between socioeconomic status and knowledge of mental health problems (p 0.05) and between knowledge and the effects of mental health issues on quality of life (p 0.05). Conclusion and Recommendations: Psychological well-being significantly affects the quality of life during pregnancy. Findings indicate the need for targeted mental health interventions, improved antenatal education, and enhanced social support systems. Recommendations include integrating mental health screenings into antenatal care, increasing awareness of mental health issues, and promoting community-based support programs. Further research should focus on the long-term impacts of psychological distress during pregnancy and effective intervention strategies. ...Preview Download Preview +Other Nutrition and Dietetics project topics and materials you might be interested in»Nutritional status and energy drinking consumption pattern of undergraduate students in tertiary institution of Osun state»Body mass index (BMI) and feeding pattern of students of school of business administration and management (SBAM) Federal Polytechnic Bida, Niger state»Assessment of factors leading to malnutrition among children 0 - 5 years - case study of Nasarawa Lga, Kano state»Health and nutritional problems associated with food allergy in Doko Lavun Lga Niger state»Effect of cigarette smoking on the health status of youths in Nigeria»Complementary feeding and hygiene practice among caregivers in Wadata ward Bida, Niger state»Knowledge attitude and practice of exclusive breastfeeding among mothers in Dokodza Bida, Niger state»Evaluation of the mineral content, anti-nutritional factors and functional properties of the complementary food produced from some food using rice, carrot, and soybeans flour blends as case study»The role of breast feeding in the growth and development of a child - case study of Zing local government area»Comparative study of nutrient profile of grasshopper and cricket»Occupational stress, coping strategies, nutritional and dietary assessment of some selected bank staff in Osogbo - case study of First Bank plc, Access Bank, and Guarantee Trust Bank»Knowledge attitude and consumption of alcoholic beverages among male students of college of administration and business studies, Bida, Niger state»Attitude of female staff toward infant and young child feeding practice particularly exclusive breastfeeding and complementary feeding»Nutritional knowledge, dietary practice, nutritional status of pregnant women attending Turai hospital, Katsina»Assessment of mothers knowledge, attitude and practice regarding childhood vaccination during the first five years of life in Comprehensive Primary Health Care Kofar Kaura, Katsina
