Depressão durante a gestação: um estudo sobre a associação entre fatores de risco e de apoio social entre gestantes

Depression during pregnancy: a study about the association between risk factors and social support among pregnant

Resumos

A ausência de apoio social e outros fatores podem tornar gestantes mais suscetíveis à ocorrência de transtornos mentais como a depressão. O objetivo deste estudo foi investigar a associação entre apoio social percebido e prevalência de depressão em gestantes atendidas em uma unidade básica de saúde de Nova Iguaçu, Rio de Janeiro. Participaram dele 100 gestantes, das quais foram verificadas as características sociodemográficas, condições médicas/obstétricas, eventos estressantes e apoio social. A depressão foi avaliada pela Composite International Diagnostic Interview. A prevalência da depressão na gravidez foi 18% (IC95% 12,2-23,8), sendo os fatores associados na análise final: estar solteira, desempregada, possuir história anterior de depressão e tabagismo. Houve relação entre a falta de apoio social e a depressão na análise inicial (p<0,05). A ausência de apoio de informação e interação durante o período pré-natal, e sua associação inicial com a depressão, evidencia a fragilidade do serviço de saúde no atendimento integral às gestantes. Nossos resultados demonstram que intervenções psicossociais e políticas sociais deveriam ser implementadas para esta população.

Lack of social support and other factors can cause pregnant more susceptible to mental disorders such as depression. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between perceived social support and prevalence of depression in pregnant attended in a primary care unit of Nova Iguaçu, Rio de Janeiro. The study included 100 women and verified the sociodemographic characteristics, obstetric and medical complications, stressful life events and social support. Depression was evaluated using the Composite International Diagnostic Interview. The prevalence of depression during pregnancy was 18% (95%CI 12.2-23.8), and the associated factors in the final analysis were: being single, unemployed, with a prior history of depression and smoking. In the initial analysis, there was significant association (p<0.05) between lack of social support and depression. The absence of information and social interaction during the prenatal period, and its initial association with depression, shows the failings of the full health care services for pregnant. Our findings show that psychosocial interactions and social policies should be implemented for this population.
