Antenatal depression has become a common and serious problem that can affect the health of both mother and baby. This study aims to review the latest obstetric scientific evidence on the risk factors for depression in pregnancy. This research is a Scoping review using the Arkshey & O'Malley Framework and the PRISMA-ScR Checklist. The literature search used 3 databases, namely Pubmed, Science Direct, and Wiley Online Library. The keywords used were pregnant women, risk factors, and pregnancy depression. The inclusion criteria were original articles; published in 2018 to 2022, in English, open access and full text, and a focus on risk factors for pregnancy depression. Article quality assessment uses the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) Checklist. 13 articles were quantitative studies conducted in hospitals and clinics, and came from 8 different countries. Mapping themes from the results of the article analysis are the prevalence of depression in pregnancy, risk factors based demographics including age, education level, marital status and occupation, risk factors based on obstetric characteristics including the number of pregnancies, history of abortion, unwanted pregnancies and diseases in pregnancy, as well as risk factors based on psychosocial including husband support, family, domestic violence, and harmful habits. Information on recognizing risk factors for depression in pregnancy is important for health workers to detect depression on time and implement relevant psychosocial interventions to reduce the incidence of depression during pregnancy

BackgroundCoronavirus Disease-19 pandemic had an adverse impact on the mental health of the public worldwide, but the problem is worst among pregnant women due to social distancing policies and mandatory lockdown, including prenatal care services. As a result, the prevalence of depression and anxiety could increase during the pandemic, particularly among pregnant women. Thus, the purpose of this review is to determine the magnitude of depression and anxiety and contributing factors among pregnant women during the pandemic in Ethiopia.MethodsWeb of Science, Since Direct, PubMed, Google Scholar, and African Journals Online were the electronic databases searched, the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) reporting guidelines were followed in this review. The Newcastle-Ottawa Critical Appraisal Checklist was used to assess the quality of the included studies. A predefined data extraction sheet developed in Excel was used to extract the data. The pooled prevalence of anxiety and depression was determined by a random effect model meta-analysis.Results4,269 and 1,672 pregnant women were involved in depression and anxiety studies, respectively. The pooled prevalence of depression and anxiety among pregnant women during the COVID-19 pandemic in Ethiopia was 24.7% (95% CI: 18.52–30.87) and 35.19% (95% CI: 26.83–43.55), respectively. Single marital status (AOR = 2.22, 95% CI: 1.07–3.37), poor social support (AOR = 2.7, 95% CI: 1.06–4.35), unplanned pregnancies (AOR = 2.17, 95% CI: 1.34–3.0), and unsatisfied marital status (AOR = 2.16, 95% CI: 1.17–3.14) were risk factors for depression. Violence against intimate partners (AOR = 2.87, 95% CI: 1.97–3.77) and poor social support (AOR = 1.98, 95% CI: 1.24–2.71) were risk factors for anxiety.ConclusionOne-fourth and nearly one-third of pregnant women had depression and anxiety, respectively, during COVID-19 pandemic in Ethiopia. Single or unsatisfied marital status and unplanned pregnancies were risk factors for depression. Poor social support was significantly associated with depression and anxiety. Pregnant women who experienced violence against intimate partners had higher anxiety. After COVID-19 pandemic, mental health interventions are essential for reducing depression and anxiety.Systematic Review Registrationhttps://www.crd.york.ac.uk/prospero/display_record.php?RecordID=527148, PROSPERO (CRD42024527148).
