怀孕晚期还在工作:小心血压升高
http://www.100md.com 2001年7月26日 家庭医生医疗保健网
     路透社纽约健康消息 澳大利亚墨尔本大学的苏珊·沃克博士发现,妇女在妊娠晚期继续工作有可能危害自身和胎儿的健康。

    为了调查工作对血压的影响,研究员对100名孕妇在工作日及休息日的血压进行了监测。结果发现,她们的血压在工作日明显高于休息日。工作压力较大的孕妇尤其明显。其中12名本来有高血压的孕妇在工作日血压升高更为明显。

    沃克博士在三月份的《妇产科学》杂志上指出,这些妇女工作日的血压比休息日要高,患妊娠高血压病的危险性也增高。怀孕期间出现高血压会引起心、肾和肝损伤,对母亲和胎儿都有潜在的危险。因此,治疗妊娠高血压,考虑工作对孕妇的健康影响是很重要的。

    先前已经有研究显示,与工作相关的压力可以增加早产的危险,并且与新生儿低体重有关系。对于既要工作又要操心家务事的孕妇来说,她们在妊娠期间患并发症是其他妇女的5倍。

    Job Stress Raises Blood Pressure During Pregnancy

    NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - In a discouraging blow to women trying to balance family and career, researchers report that working outside the home during the final weeks of pregnancy may jeopardize a woman‘s health and the health of her unborn child.

    These women had higher blood pressure during workdays than non-workdays, and they were also at increased risk of pregnancy-induced hypertension, study authors reveal in the March issue of Obstetrics & Gynecology.

    ``The effect of maternal work is important when treating pregnancy hypertension,‘‘ according to Dr. Susan P. Walker and colleagues from the University of Melbourne, Australia, and colleagues.

    High blood pressure during pregnancy can cause heart, kidney and liver damage and is potentially dangerous to the mother and fetus.

    The study adds to a growing body of research suggesting that for some women, working and gestating can be a dangerous mix. Previous studies have shown that work-related stress may increase the risk of preterm delivery and is associated with lower birth weight babies, and that working women who are also responsible for taking care of things at home had a nearly fivefold risk of experiencing complications during pregnancy.

    To investigate the effect of work on blood pressure, the researchers monitored 100 pregnant women during workdays and when they were at home. Blood pressure was significantly higher on workdays than on non-workdays, particularly among women under the most job stress, the report indicates. The 12 women who developed hypertension were found to have larger increases in blood pressure during work compared to their time spent at home, the researchers note.

    ``The magnitude of blood pressure responses to work was a significant predictor of pregnancy hypertension,‘‘ Walker and colleagues report., 百拇医药
