To date, little attention has been given to prenatal depression, especially in low and middle-income countries. The aim of this research was to assess the prevalence of depression and its associated factors amongst pregnant women in a central Vietnamese city. This cross-sectional study included 150 pregnant women from 29 to 40 weeks of gestation, from eight wards of Hue city, via quota sampling from February to May 2019. We employed the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) to assess depression. Findings suggest the need to provide routine screening of pregnant women in primary care for depressive symptoms and other mental health problems.
迄今为止,产前抑郁症很少受到关注,尤其是在低收入和中等收入国家。本研究的目的是评估越南中部一个城市孕妇中抑郁症的患病率及其相关因素。这项横断面研究通过配额抽样,于2019年2月至5月从顺化市的8个病房纳入了150名孕周在29至40周的孕妇。我们采用患者健康问卷(PHQ-9)来评估抑郁症。研究结果表明,有必要在初级保健中对孕妇进行抑郁症状和其他心理健康问题的常规筛查。
