In the field of perinatal clinical psychology, most studies focus on mothers' psychological states during pregnancy, neglecting the role of their partners. This study used an Actor-Partner Interdependence Mediation Model to evaluate the mediating role of dyadic satisfaction on the relationship between perceived stress and prenatal depressive symptomatology in both members of male-female-mixed-gender couples who were expecting their first child. One hundred thirty-eight couples in their third trimester of pregnancy were asked to complete questionnaires about perceived stress, dyadic adjustment, and depression. The model revealed that there was an intrapersonal indirect effect of fathers' perceived stress on prenatal paternal depression through their marital satisfaction. Moreover, an interpersonal indirect effect was found with mothers' perceived stress being associated with prenatal paternal depression through fathers' dyadic satisfaction. Maternal indirect effects were all non-significant, suggesting that their dyadic satisfaction and that of their partner did not mediate the relation between their perceived stress and that of their partner and their prenatal depression. Findings support the importance of assessing the dyadic satisfaction of couples during pregnancy, especially in expectant fathers, and targeting it in the psychological support offered to couples as a way of improving their prenatal distress, and consequently, their mental health.

第一次为人父母的压力和产前抑郁症的二元方法：婚姻满意度的中介作用

在围产期临床心理学领域，大多数研究集中在母亲怀孕期间的心理状态，而忽视了伴侣的作用。本研究使用演员-伴侣相互依赖中介模型来评估二元满意度在期待第一个孩子的男女混合性别夫妇成员中感知压力和产前抑郁症状之间关系的中介作用。138 对处于妊娠晚期的夫妇被要求完成关于感知压力、二元调整和抑郁的问卷。该模型显示，父亲的感知压力通过他们的婚姻满意度对产前父亲抑郁有内在的间接影响。此外，还发现母亲的人际交往间接影响 通过父亲的二元满意度感知压力与产前父亲抑郁有关。母亲的间接影响都不显着，这表明他们和他们的伴侣的二元满意度并没有调节他们感知的压力和他们的伴侣的压力与他们的产前抑郁症之间的关系。研究结果支持评估怀孕期间夫妇的二元满意度的重要性，特别是在准父亲中，并在向夫妇提供心理支持时将其作为改善产前痛苦的一种方式，从而改善他们的心理健康。表明他们的二元满意度和他们的伴侣的满意度并没有调节他们感知的压力和他们的伴侣的压力与他们的产前抑郁症之间的关系。研究结果支持评估怀孕期间夫妻（尤其是准父亲）的二元满意度的重要性，并在向夫妻提供心理支持时将其作为改善产前痛苦的一种方式，从而改善他们的心理健康。表明他们的二元满意度和他们的伴侣的满意度并没有调节他们感知的压力和他们的伴侣的压力与他们的产前抑郁症之间的关系。研究结果支持评估怀孕期间夫妻（尤其是准父亲）的二元满意度的重要性，并在向夫妻提供心理支持时将其作为改善产前痛苦的一种方式，从而改善他们的心理健康。
