METHODS: This descriptive, cross-sectional study involved 433 second-and third-trimester pregnant women who volunteered at two public hospitals in Central Anatolia, Turkey, between March 2024 and March 2025, excluding those with high-risk pregnancies. Data were collected using the Demographic Form, Pelvic Girdle Questionnaire, Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36), Beck Depression Inventory, and Visual Analog Scale. RESULTS: The mean age of women was 27.81±5.12. The findings revealed significant negative correlations between the Pelvic Girdle Questionnaire and SF-36 subscales, including physical function, physical and emotional role limitations, social functioning, general health and pain (p\u003C0 .05) . Pelvic Girdle Questionnaire was positively correlated with depression, Visual Analog Scale, and gestational weeks (p\u003C0 .05) . Moreover, 32 . 9% of the variance in Pelvic Girdle Questionnaire scores is explained by SF-36 subdimensions (physical function, role limitations, energy/vitality, mental health, and pain), number of births, and Visual Analog Scale.  \nCONCLUSION: Pelvic girdle pain negatively affects physical and mental well-being, increases pain, and reduces quality of life in pregnancy. Its severity rises with gestational age and is linked to depressive symptoms.  \nKEYWORDS: Depressive symptoms. Life quality. Pelvic pain. Pregnancy.  \nINTRODUCTION  \nDuring pregnancy, biochemical, physiological, and structural changes lead to significant musculoskeletal alterations1. Pregnancy hormones relax connective tissue, while weight gain increases mechanical load. Pregnancy-induced changes cause hyperlordosis, pelvic tilt, and shift the center of gravity, affecting lower back support2. Pregnancy-related musculoskeletal and postural changes can lead to pelvic girdle pain (PGP), a common complaint with prevalence ranging from 7 to 65%3,4. PGP primarily affects the sacroiliac joint, iliac crest, and gluteal fold, and can also involve the posterior thigh and suprapubic regions5. Weight gain and hormonal changes in late pregnancy can trigger PGP, increasing pain intensity. Increased pain makes daily activities such as standing, walking, and sitting more difficult, thereby causing physical limitations. Moreover, this pain reduces work productivity, significantly decreases quality of life, and increases susceptibility to chronic pain syndromes during pregnancy6. PGP negatively impacts pregnant women’s health-related quality of life, particularly physically, psychologically, and socially7.  \nA decrease in quality of life during pregnancy can lead to depressive symptoms that negatively affect the expectant mother’s mood and health. Depression is the most common psychiatric disorder during pregnancy, with prevalence ranging from 15 to 65%8 . Depression can negatively affect not only the pregnant woman but also the developing fetus. Additionally, depressive symptoms can affect newborn care and mother-infant bonding and lead to long-term psychological and developmental consequences9,10 . Identifying risk factors for depression, especially in pregnant women, is crucial for advancing research in this area. PGP negatively affects pregnant women’s quality of life and increases depression scores. However, studies on this subject are limited. Further research on the PGP-depression relationship is crucial for developing treatment and care strategies. Because PGP has significant effects on the physical and psychological health of pregnant women, more comprehensive research is crucial. This study examined the effects of PGP on quality o","cbCaiqLSLpv4Jmp2","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiqLSLpv4Jmp2","pdf",209010,"English","# Summary\n# Introduction\n# Methods","[{\"question\":\"What was the study’s main objective regarding pelvic girdle pain during pregnancy?\",\"answer\":\"To examine how pelvic girdle pain affects quality of life and depressive symptoms during pregnancy.\"},{\"question\":\"How were participants selected and what was the study design?\",\"answer\":\"A descriptive cross-sectional study recruited 433 women in the second and third trimesters from two public hospitals, using voluntary participation and excluding high-risk pregnancies.\"},{\"question\":\"What relationships did the study find between pelvic girdle pain and quality of life or depression?\",\"answer\":\"Pelvic girdle pain showed significant negative correlations with SF-36 subscales and positive correlations with depression scores, Visual Analog Scale pain, and gestational weeks.\"}]","The impact of pelvic girdle pain on quality of life and depressive symptoms during pregnancy | PDF",1790762269,18]
