Psychological intervention
Prenatal anxiety, which may cause great changes in the choice of obstetrical care, and then affect the outcome of pregnancy20,21,34,35, should be paid attention to. Therefore, during the global outbreak of COVID-19, psychological intervention and corresponding public health measures for pregnant women are necessary, which need the close cooperation of psychologists, obstetricians and public health administration.8
From the psychological point of view, cognition is easy to be manipulated. Our research results show that if some cognition (reflected in attitude), even if it is reasonable, gets too centralized to control, anxiety is inevitable. Therefore, during this period, some cognitive related interventions should be taken: (1) to push the information of authoritative source; (2) to correctly understand the susceptibility of disease; (3) to perceive the risk rationally (not too extreme).
