Objectives: This study aims to investigate the differences in depressive symptoms among pregnant women with and without adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), identify distinct core and bridge symptoms of depression in both groups, and target specific symptoms for intervention.
Methods: A total of 2719 pregnant women were recruited from the "Be Resilient to Postpartum Depression" program. ACEs and depressive symptoms were assessed using validated scales. Data analysis was conducted using a computer-simulated network analysis approach.
Results: A significant positive correlation was found between the total ACEs score and depression score (r = 0.181, P < 0.001). In the non-ACEs group, "I can laugh and see the funny side of things" was the core and most bridge symptoms, as well as the targeted intervention symptom for aggravating the depressive symptoms. In the ACEs group, "I feel cheerful" emerged as the core and most bridge symptoms, while "I look forward with enjoyment to things" was identified as the targeted intervention symptom for aggravating the depressive symptoms. "I still enjoy the things I used to enjoy" was recognized as a targeted symptom for alleviating depressive symptoms in both groups.
Conclusion: This study underscores the nuanced relationship between ACEs and antenatal depression, underscoring the need for tailored mental health interventions that consider the history of childhood adversity among pregnant women.
