2.5 | Data analysis
We performed all statistical analyses using Statistical Package for the
Social Sciences (SPSS) 25.0 software. Kolmogorov Smirnov and Shapiro
Wilk tests were used for the determination of normal distribution. For
pairwise comparisons, we used Wilcoxon signed-rank test for continuous
variables for categorical variables. Distress scores of pregnant women
before and during the pandemic were compared with Wilcoxon test. Linear
regression analysis was performed to determine the effect of the
independent variable (birth type, etc) on the dependent variable (28
total distress point). Binary Logistic regression analysis models and
Linear regression analysis were used to determine the prenatal distress
risk factors. The results were evaluated using a 95% confidence
interval, and p<0.05 was considered statistically
significant.30
