To estimate the prevalence of depression and correlate clinical and demographic characteristics in pregnant women assisted by the public health system in the city of Pelotas, RS, Brazil.
We performed a cross-sectional study focused on pregnant women assisted by the public health service. The Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) was used to screen for depression.
In a sample of 1,264 pregnant women aged 12-46 years, 21.1% (n = 255) presented a depressive episode during pregnancy. The presence of depression was associated with older age, lower education, lack of a cohabiting partner, not being primiparous, planned pregnancy, abortion thoughts, psychological or psychiatric treatment, smoking and alcohol consumption during pregnancy, and stressful events.
Pregnant women assisted by the Brazilian public health system presented a high prevalence of depression. Psychiatric history, lack of support, and stressful events increase the probability of antenatal depression.
评估巴西佩洛塔斯市公立卫生系统服务的孕妇中抑郁的流行率，并分析其与临床和人口统计学特征的相关性。
我们进行了一项横断面研究，关注的是接受公立卫生服务的孕妇。使用爱丁堡产后抑郁量表（EPDS）对抑郁进行筛查。
在 12-46 岁的 1264 名孕妇样本中，21.1%（n=255）在怀孕期间出现了抑郁发作。抑郁的存在与年龄较大、教育程度较低、没有同居伴侣、非初产妇、计划妊娠、堕胎想法、心理或精神科治疗、怀孕期间吸烟和饮酒以及压力事件有关。
巴西公立卫生系统服务的孕妇中抑郁的流行率较高。精神病史、缺乏支持和压力事件增加了产前抑郁的可能性。
