“…In Brazil, the rates before the pandemic were already concerning, around 20% ( Lobato et al, 2011 ). It is known that severe depression can lead to suicidal ideation which rates in postpartum varies from 2 to 22% ( Halim et al, 2018 ), with rates in Brazil between 4 and 20.8% ( Tabb et al, 2018 ; Cardillo et al, 2016 ). Anxiety is one of the factors most associated with perinatal depression.…”

Background : The COVID-19 pandemic gave rise to concerns about its potential impact on the mental health of pregnant and postpartum women as the general postpartum depression rates increased. Methods : Three postpartum questionnaires (Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale – EPDS; Anxiety and Depression Scale – HAD; and a demographic questionnaire about isolation and information acquisition) were used to evaluate the mental health of women with and without COVID-19 and determine the factors associated with depressive symptoms (EPDS ≥ 12). Results : Data from 184 participants with a mean of 56 postpartum days were analyzed. The rate of symptoms compatible with postpartum depression (PPD) was 38.8%, with a 14.3% positive response to item 10 on the EPDS (suicidal ideation - SI). Listening to the news about COVID-19 averaged 4.45 hours a day. Factors related to PPD were concerns about lack of hospital beds (OR = 2.45), absence of a partner (OR = 2.70), and anxiety symptoms (OR = 10). Factors related to SI were anxiety symptoms (OR = 1.56) and friends as a source of information (OR = 5.60). Limitations : Considering the rapidly changing epidemiological conditions of this pandemic, this study may only be the photograph of an instant. Conclusions : Higher rates of PPD in the Brazilian population are related not only to anxiety but also to an inadequate family environment, kind of information acquisition and concerns about the lack of hospital beds.

“…(21) Also in an Indian research, a relationship was found between exposure to partner violence in the immediate postpartum, postpartum depression, and suicidal ideas. (22) Another factor associated with depressive symptoms in this study was having given birth through a cesarean section, a situation that increased the chance of scoring ≥10 in the EPDS twofold. This result, although difficult to fully explain, also finds support in the literature: in a systematic review, cesarean section was appointed as a risk factor for postpartum depressive symptoms, the explanatory hypothesis being the surgical trauma or the problems that led to the indication of the surgery, such as pelvic pain, gastrointestinal problems, among others, all of which could affect the mother's psychological condition.…”

Resumo Objetivo Investigar a prevalência e fatores de risco para sintomas depressivos maternos no puerpério imediato. Métodos Estudo transversal, realizado com 1099 puérperas. A presença de sintomas depressivos maternos foi obtida com a escala de Depressão Pós-natal de Edimburgo, aplicada no segundo dia após o parto, adotando-se como ponto de corte escore ≥10. Os dados foram coletados em Botucatu-SP, no período de janeiro a junho de 2012. Fatores associados aos sintomas depressivos foram inicialmente investigados por regressão logística múltipla e aqueles associados em nível de p<0,20 foram incluídos em modelo de regressão final, considerando-se nível crítico de significância p<0,05, com intervalo de confiança de 95%. Este estudo foi aprovado por Comitê de Ética em Pesquisa e atendeu às recomendações para pesquisas com seres humanos. Resultados A prevalência de sintomas depressivos foi de 6,7%. Uso de medicação antidepressiva na gestação, violência sofrida na gestação e cesariana associaram-se a sintomas depressivos no puerpério imediato em duas, quatro e duas vezes, respectivamente. Conclusão Especial atenção deve ser dada às mulheres usuárias de medicação antidepressiva, àquelas que sofreram violência na gestação e às que evoluíram para cesariana, visto que esses eventos foram identificados como fatores de risco de sintomas depressivos.

“…In addition, perinatal IPV was associated with increased risk of depression and PTSD symptoms among women who were up to 14-months post-delivery of their child 17 . Finally, compared to women who are not exposed to perinatal IPV, women with exposure reported higher levels of suicidal ideation during pregnancy 18 and subsequent to delivery 19 . During 2003 to 2007, 2.0 per 100,000 births resulted in maternal suicide and 54.3% of the people who committed suicide experienced IPV that was suspected to relate to the suicide 20 .…”

This article reviews the prevalence and outcomes of perinatal intimate partner violence (IPV). Reported rates of perinatal IPV range from 3.7% to 9.0%. Perinatal IPV is associated with a multitude of mental and obstetric health outcomes that affect the mother and child. Perinatal medical providers have an opportunity to detect victims of IPV and facilitate services for this population. Screening, safety planning, and referral procedures are essential for addressing this public health problem.
