R2adj, adjusted R2; PREPS, Pandemic-Related Pregnancy Stress Scale; STAI-S, State-Trait Anxiety Inventory-State; STAI-T, State-Trait Anxiety Inventory-Trait; B, unstandardised coefficient for the PREPS factor scores outcomes after backward elimination with AIC as stopping rule criterion. Note that the P-value considered from the AIC stopping rule is lower than approximately 0.157. This explains why some variables stayed in the model although they had a P-value larger than 0.05.
