tioning”, “Role-Physical”, “Bodily Pain”, “General
Health”, “Vitality”, “Social Functioning”,
“Role-Emotional”, “Mental Health”. The SF-36
yields 8 scores, one for each scale (0-100 range:
high scores equal high satisfaction in a single
dimension), and two summary scores, derived
from the other scales: “Physical Component
Summary” and “Mental Component Summary”.
Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS
- Cox et al., 1987): 10 items, created to screen
postnatal depressive symptoms and later validated
in non-postnatal populations (Cox et al.,
1996). The higher the total score (range: 0-30),
the lower the mood. The original authors proposed
a 12/13 cut-off value to detect major
depressive symptoms, and a 9/10 cut-off value
was suggested for routine use by primary care
workers (Cox et al., 1987) and was used in the
present study to identify risk for depression.
State Trait Anxiety Inventory Form Y (STAI-Y
- Spielberger, 1983): 40 items, divided in 2 subscales
(score range: 20-80): State Anxiety (STAI-
Y1), the level of anxiety at the present moment;
Trait Anxiety (STAI-Y2), the usual level of anxiety
in everyday life. The original authors (Spielberger,
1983) proposed a cut-off value of 40 to
identify cases worthy of clinical attention, along
with the following clinical cut-off values: 41-50:
mild anxiety; 51-60: moderate anxiety; 61-80:
severe anxiety.
Statistical Analysis
Analyses were performed with SPSS 18 for
Microsoft Windows. To analyse demographic
variables, One-Way and Two-Ways ANOVAs,
Log-Linear analysis and Pearson’s Chi2 were
performed. To study differences in the sample,
One-Way and Two-Ways ANOVAs were per-
212
formed. To study the distribution of clinical cutoffs,
both for EPDS and for STAIY, log-linear
analyses were performed.
Main comparison factors: “Gender” (Men vs.
Women); “ART” (ART vs. non-ART).
Results
Sample Characteristics
In the characteristics of the sample analysed
in the present sample, the following significant
differences emerge: mean age is generally higher
for men than for women (M: 36,04±5,77; F:
33,86±4,63; p=0,001) and for ART couples than
non-ART couples (ART: 37,66±4,81; non-ART:
33,13±4,89; p
