- Abstract
Objective: Estimate the frequency of depressive symptoms in pregnant women and establish factors related to their presence. Methodology: Descriptive, observational and transversal study. The study population were pregnant women who self-fulfilled the PHQ-2 and PHQ-9 questionnaires in the third trimester of gestation from May 2017 to May 2018. Results: The sample obtained was 209 pregnant women. Results showed that 19.6% of women had depressive symptoms. A statistically significant relationship was obtained between being primigesta, not planning pregnancy, negative pregnancy experience and personal mental health history, with the presence of symptoms. The data also showed that planning pregnancy is a protective factor. Conclusions: The frequency obtained from depressive symptoms was high. Particular attention should be paid to related protective and risk factors that influence the onset and/or severity of depressive symptoms; encourage the prevention, early detection and multidisciplinary treatment of perinatal depression.
