“…This occurrence can be partly associated with the cultural norms of this country and the domestic maternal role of women, where being pregnant with a male child is more valued. 14 In contrast, a cross-sectional study performed in South Korea showed that the pregnancy status of women with a mean age of 30.6 (±4.0 years) who planned their pregnancy (83.3%) did not show an association between pregnancy and depression. 15 Regarding gestational age, a cohort population-based study performed in Northern Vietnam applied the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS-V) to two groups of pregnant women.…”

Factors associated with the probability of common mental disorders in pregnant women: a cross-sectional study AbstrActObjective: To estimate the prevalence of probability of common mental disorders in pregnant women and associated factors. Methods:A cross-sectional study with a quantitative and descriptive approach was performed with 330 pregnant women enrolled in a Women's Health Service located in Mid-West Brazil. Data were obtained through a questionnaire about socio-demographic characteristics and family or personal history. The Self-Reporting Questionnaire and Poisson regression were applied to screen for common mental disorders, aiming to identify factors associated with it. Results: The prevalence of probability of common mental disorders among pregnant women was 57.1% and it was associated with marital status, gestational age, unplanned pregnancy and bleeding. Conclusion: The prevalence of pregnant women likely to have common mental disorders and the average Self-Reporting Questionnaire score estimated in this study were higher than those found in other studies with samples from the general population.

“…Low self-esteem, low self-efficacy, and perceived lack of parenting knowledge are among other risk factors identified in these studies (Mohamed et al, 2011;Mohammad et al, 2011). Overall, these studies describe women with PPD as experiencing a range of stressful life events, such as relationship, financial, and maternal stressors while receiving low social/emotional support.…”

“…Prolonged labor (Rizk et al, 2005), unplanned pregnancies (Mohammad et al, 2011;Bener et al, 2012;Eilat-Tsanani et al, 2006;Glasser et al 2011;Kheirabadi et al, 2009), pregnancy complications (Agoub et al, 2005;Eilat-Tsanani et al, 2006), baby's health problems (Agoub et al, 2005), not breastfeeding (Green et al, 2006;Hamdan & Tamim, 2011), and a history of abortion and infant death (Najafi et al, 2007) are among the obstetric/pediatric factors identified in these studies. Unplanned pregnancy is the most frequently reported obstetric risk factor for PPD.…”

Minimal research is available on postpartum depression (PPD) in women from the Middle East/Arab countries. A literature search revealed only 21 empirical studies conducted in the Arab world in the last 20 years. This paper attempts to analyze the existing data for prevalence and risk factors associated with PPD in the target population. The results of review are discussed with implications for prevention and treatment.

“…Based on previous relevant literature, the rate of antenatal depression ranges from 4.8 % up to 40 %. [2,3,4] Therefore, it may be concluded that rates of depression symptoms in high-risk pregnant women were higher than those of pregnant women with a low risk pregnancy. It is notable that the depressive symptomatology was assessed by the majority of studies with the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale which can be considered a pregnancy-specific and not a general instrument.…”

Objective: A high risk pregnancy may introduce additional psychological stress on a pregnant woman. The aim of this study was to review systematically the available evidence of the psychological consequences, in terms of anxiety and depression, of high-risk pregnancy. Methods:A systematic search of the electronic databases was performed. This review considered only quantitative, primary studies in the English language, published during the period 2000-2015 and relevant to the objective. The population of interest was previously high-risk pregnant women. Outcome variables were general anxiety, depressive symptoms and pregnancy-specific anxiety. Seven studies met the inclusion and methodological criteria and were included in the review. Results:The review revealed that high-risk pregnant women had high levels of depression ranging from 18% to 58% and these rates decrease throughout the course of hospitalization and are similar between women hospitalized in a hospital/health centre and women bed-rested in home. The review identifies additionally the main psychosocial variables that were related to antenatal anxiety and depression in high-risk pregnancy.Discussion: Future studies should overcome specific limitations.Health care professionals should enhance the implementation of psychological screening and counselling to populations of high-risk pregnant women hospitalized in a hospital/health centre or bed-rested in home.
