“…The lower prevalence in these countries might have resulted from high quality antenatal care, better nutrition during pregnancy, and less stressful life events such as financial difficulties 58,59 . Some studies in developed countries show rates in excess of 20% 6,9,15,20,23,24,60,61,62 . These findings could be explained by the use of screening questionnaires rather than diagnostic interviews.…”

“…Thus, prevalence rates of depression during pregnancy were significantly higher in low-income countries. The main risk factors associated with these differences are past history of psychiatric disorders, poor antenatal care, poor nutrition, stressful life events, economic deprivation and gender based violence, which are more prevalent in developing countries 4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25,26,27,28,29 .…”

Depression during pregnancy: prevalence and risk factors among women attending a public health clinic in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

et al. 2009

Depression is the most prevalent psychiatric disorder during pregnancy and is associated with psychosocial and clinical obstetric factors. Despite being an important public health issue, there are few studies about this issue in Brazil. A cross-sectional study was carried out, involving 331 pregnant women attending a public primary health service over a one-year period in Rio de Janeiro city, Brazil. Participants were interviewed about their socio-demographic status, obstetric/medical conditions, life events and violence during pregnancy. Depression was assessed using the Composite International Development Interview. The prevalence of depression during pregnancy was 14.2% (95%CI: 10.7-18.5) and associated factors included: previous history of depression and any psychiatric treatment, unplanned pregnancy, serious physical illness and casual jobs. These data emphasize the need for screening for depression and its risk factors during pregnancy in settings where care is available. Psychosocial interventions and social policies need to be devised for this population.

“…Postpartum depression affects approximately 10% -13% of U.S. women ( DaCosta, Larouche, Dritsa, & Brender, 2000 ;Lee et al, 2003 ). Generalized anxiety disorder is more common in the postpartum period than in the general female population ( Ross & McLean, 2006 ).…”

Discussion : Among women who quit smoking during pregnancy, a worsening of depressive and stress symptoms over 12 weeks postpartum was associated with an increased risk of smoking by 24 weeks. IntroductionApproximately one third of female smokers quit once they learn that they are pregnant ( Fingerhut, Kleinman, & Kendrick, 1990 ;Floyd, Rimer, Giovino, Mullen, & Sullivan, 1993 ;LeClere & Wilson, 1997 ;Severson, Andrews, Lichtenstein, Wall, & Zoref, 1995 ), but up to two thirds of women who stop smoking during pregnancy relapse within 6 months after delivery ( Colman & Joyce, 2003 ;Fingerhut et al., 1990 ;Martin et al., 2008 ;McBride & Pirie, 1990 ;McBride, Pirie, & Curry, 1992 ;Ratner, Johnson, Bottorff, Dahinten, & Hall, 2000 ). Women who remain tobacco abstinent after delivery experience health benefi ts that include protection of infants from secondhand smoke exposure, lower risk of poor pregnancy outcomes in subsequent pregnancies, and decreased personal risk of tobacco-related health problems ( Mullen, 2004 ). To increase the proportion of women who maintain tobacco abstinence after delivery, it is necessary to understand the modifi able factors associated with postpartum relapse to smoking.In the general population, depression, anxiety, and stress are more common among smokers than nonsmokers; these factors are barriers to smoking cessation and triggers for relapse AbstractIntroduction : The aim of this prospective repeated measures, mixed-methods observational study was to assess whether depressive, anxiety, and stress symptoms are associated with postpartum relapse to smoking.Methods : A total of 65 women who smoked prior to pregnancy and had not smoked during the last month of pregnancy were recruited at delivery and followed for 24 weeks. Surveys administered at baseline and at 2, 6, 12, and 24 weeks postpartum assessed smoking status and symptoms of depression (Beck Depression Inventory [BDI]), anxiety (Beck Anxiety Inventory [BAI]), and stress (Perceived Stress Scale [PSS]). In-depth interviews were conducted with women who reported smoking.Results : Although 92% of the participants reported a strong desire to stay quit, 47% resumed smoking by 24 weeks postpartum. Baseline factors associated with smoking at 24 weeks were having had a prior delivery, not being happy about the pregnancy, undergoing counseling for depression or anxiety during pregnancy, and ever having struggled with depression ( p < .05). In a repeated measures regression model, the slope of BDI scores from baseline to the 12-week follow-up differed between nonsmokers and smokers ( − 0.12 vs. +0.11 units/week, p = .03). The slope of PSS scores also differed between nonsmokers and smokers ( − 0.05 vs. +0.08 units/week, p = .04). In qualitative interviews, most women who relapsed attributed their relapse and continued smoking to negative emotions.

“…In the studies performed in our country, it was found to be 27.9% in the study of Karaçam and Ançel and 27.3% in the study of Caliskan et al, [12,13] and in the studies conducted abroad, it was found to be 19.6% in Brazil, 30% in Finland, and 25% in Canada. [14][15][16] The causes for the high depressive symptom prevalence in our study may be the value given to the pregnancy within the family, the perception of the pregnancy, and inadequate coping abilities. Problems in the adaptation to the pregnancy and the decrease in the social support might cause depression to be raised.…”

“…Our results were supported by the Turkish literature in accordance with the studies in our country. [11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18]20,21] In Brazil, a longitudinal study presented that higher educational level protected against depression in pregnancy.…”
