The influence of pregnant women's personality traits and well-being on internet-based decision-making and coping styles with stress.
Article in BMC pregnancy and childbirth, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundThe worldwide utilization of computers and the internet has transformed the way in which individuals access information. This study aims to examine the associations between pregnant women’s personality traits, well-being, and their internet-based decision-making and stress coping styles.
methodsThe study was designed as a descriptive correlational type. The research was conducted between October 2023 and May 2024 and included 231 pregnant women. Data were collected using a Personal Information Form, the Cervantes Personality Scale, the World Health Organization Five Well-Being Index (1998 version), the Internet Decision-Making Scale in Pregnancy, and the Stress Coping Styles Scale.
resultsA negative correlation was found between the total score of the Internet Decision-Making Scale in Pregnancy and the extroversion/introversion personality trait (r=-0.178, p = 0.007), whereas a positive significant correlation was observed with the consistency/inconsistency trait (r = 0.180, p = 0.006). Statistically significant relationships were observed at different levels and in different directions among the subdimensions of the Stress Coping Styles Scale, with the exception of the “Seeking Social Support” subdimension. No significant associations were found between WHO-5 well-being and the Internet Decision-Making Scale in Pregnancy or the Stress Coping Styles Scale. DISCUSSION: The findings suggest that internet use may be increasingly involved in the decision-making processes of pregnant women and may be associated with individual personality traits.
conclusionHealthcare professionals are encouraged to integrate digital health literacy interventions into antenatal care and to recommend validated online information platforms to promote informed and safe internet-based decision-making among pregnant women.
