Ruth Tucker, associate professor at the University of Texas Medical Branch School of Nursing at Gal veston, examined the relationship among stress, pregnancy complica tions and a personality conflict called “hardiness” in a study of 234 women who recently had babies. “If people are hardy, they feel they have some control over their li fe,” Tucker says. She says three characteristics make a “hardy” individual: • The individual is committed to her responsibilities. • The individual believes she has control over her life. • The individual sees change as a challenge rather than as a threat. When an individual encounters a stressful situation, hardiness traits help alleviate the effects of stress, she says. Tucker hoped to find that har diness made a difference in women during pregnancy. For example, women with har diness would have fewer complica tions than women without the trait. However, this didn’t prove to be true. Instead, she discovered that women who have a high stress level tend to have more complications with their pregnancies. “I didn’t narrow it down to spe cific complications,” Tucker says. “I was looking at complications in gen eral: infections, high blood pres sure, premature labor and devel opment of diabetes.” Women without the “hardy” trait can deal with stress through various means just as effectively as women who have the trait by developing coping skills to solve problems, Tucker says. What’s up IQ Thursday ADULT CHILDREN OF ALCOHOLICS: will meetatfip.rj in 145 MSC. “One of the biggest aids for any body who has high stress levels is a good support system, such as family and friends,” she says. Mary Walraven, a certified child birth educator from Bryan, agreed that a support system is important. “Pregnant women must commu nicate with whoever causes the stress,” Walraven says. “When women have a positive outlook, fewer problems occur.” Constant stress from poor social situations also affects pregnancy, she says, citing constant depression as an example. “We try to help women deal with stress and problems,” Walraven says. “Relaxation helps by provid ing good health for the baby.” The biggest stress comes from anticipating birth, she says. In her Lamaze class, Walraven reduces the fears of birth by en couraging women to talk about their fears. ALCOHOLICS ANONYMOUS: will meet at 12:15 p.m.t 845-5826 for location.
