[Objective] To explore and observe the influence of anxiety and depression on pregnancy outcomes of pregnant women with gestational diabetes mellitus. [Method] 200 pregnant women with gestational diabetes mellitus received in our hospital from February 2018 to May 2019 were selected as subjects. The psychological status was assessed by Self-rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) and Self-rating Depression Scale (SDS). The pregnant women with SAS score (>50 points) or SDS score (>53 points) were included in the study group (n=82). The pregnant women with SAS score < 50 points or SDS score < 53 points were included in the study group. The parturients were enrolled in the control group (n = 118). The pregnancy outcomes of the two groups were compared and observed. [Result] The SAS score and SDS score of the study group were higher than those of the control group (P < 0.05); the spontaneous rate of the study group was lower than that of the control group, and the cesarean section rate was higher than that of the control group, with statistical difference between the two groups (P < 0.05); the incidence of complications of the study group was significantly higher than that of the control group, with statistical difference between the two groups (P < 0.05); The incidence of good outcomes was higher than that of control group (P < 0.05). [Conclusion] Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is associated with anxiety and depression, which can easily affect the outcome of pregnancy and is not conducive to maternal and infant safety.
