【摘要】氣候變化是一個全球性的健康問題。有研究表明，氣候變化對生殖健康和胎兒健康有負面影響。然而，關於氣候變化對孕期抑鬱影響的研究卻相對有限。在本研究中，我們旨在探討氣候變化擔憂對孕婦抑鬱的預測作用。本橫斷面研究的樣本包括114名孕婦。數據通過《描述性特徵信息表》、《狀態-特質焦慮量表》、《愛丁堡產後抑鬱量表》、《氣候變化擔憂量表》和《氣候變化希望量表》收集。我們採用皮爾遜相關分析和層次回歸分析對數據進行分析。抑鬱症與氣候變化擔憂、特質焦慮以及預防氣候變化的希望之間存在相關性。氣候變化擔憂得分和特質焦慮得分解釋了抑鬱得分方差的8.7%。在控制特質焦慮後，氣候變化擔憂解釋了孕婦抑鬱方差的3.8%。氣候變化擔憂顯著預測抑鬱得分。在孕婦中，氣候變化擔憂的增加與抑鬱和焦慮的增加相關，同時也與預防氣候變化希望的增加相關。氣候變化擔憂是孕婦抑鬱的重要預測因素。護士在評估孕婦的抑鬱和焦慮時，應將氣候變化擔憂納入考量，以規劃護理工作。 

[Abstract] Climate change is a global health problem. There are studies showing that climate change negatively affects reproductive health and fetal health. However, studies determining the effect of climate change on depression in pregnancy are limited. In this study, we aimed to determine the predictive effect of climate change worry on depression in pregnant women. The sample of this cross-sectional study consisted of 114 pregnant women. The data were collected using the Descriptive Characteristics Information Form, State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, Edinburgh Postpartum Depression Scale, Climate Change Worry Scale and Climate Change Hope Scale. We used Pearson correlation and hierarchical regression analysis to analyze the data. There was a relationship between depression and climate change worry, trait anxiety and hope to prevent climate change. Climate change worry scores and trait anxiety score explained 8.7% of the variance of depression score. Climate change worry explained 3.8% of the variance in depression in pregnant women when trait anxiety was controlled. Climate change worry significantly predicts depression scores. In pregnant women, an increase in climate change worry was associated with depression and anxiety, as well as an increase in hope of preventing climate change. Climate change worry is an important predictor of depression in pregnant women. Nurses should plan care by taking climate change worry into account when evaluating depression and anxiety in pregnant women.
