“…Scores on the test range from 0 to 10; a score between 1 and 2 indicates low nicotine dependence, between 3 and 4 low-to-moderate dependence, 5-7 moderate dependence and 8 or more indicate high dependence. Nicotine dependence was assessed using the sum of the FTND and was coded into two levels: low (0-4) and high (5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10).…”

“…This study, however, was not carried out in pregnant women, but took place between 24 and 48 hours after birth [9]. Smoking pregnant women reported significantly higher scores on a depression scale [Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) scale] compared with non‐smoking pregnant women [10]. Thus, experiencing depressive symptoms may also be a reason for continued smoking during pregnancy.…”

Validity and reliability of the MRSS were shown in a sample of pregnant smokers. Tension reduction was the most important reason for continued smoking, followed by pleasure and addiction. Although the score for nicotine dependence was low, addiction was an important reason for continued smoking during pregnancy; therefore, nicotine replacement therapy could be considered. Half of the respondents experienced depressive symptoms. Hence, it is important to identify those women who need more specialized care, which can include not only smoking cessation counselling but also treatment for depression.

“…It was particularly difficult for the pregnant woman to stop smoking if her partner smoked [35]. In addition to social characteristics there was repeated evidence for the existence of mental health problems or stress among pregnant women who smoked, usually in the form of increased depression and anxiety scores [51,53,54,59,68]. Women who continued to smoke during pregnancy were almost twice as likely to be depressed compared to women who had stopped smoking [68].…”

Consequences and Possible Predictors of Health-damaging Behaviors and Mental Health Problems in Pregnancy – A Review

!In recent decades, the understanding of the short and longer term effects of health-damaging behaviors and mental health problems in pregnant women and the underlying mechanisms of these behaviors and illnesses has significantly increased. In contrast, little is known about the factors affecting individual pregnant women which contribute to health-damaging behaviors and mental illness. The aim of this paper was therefore to summarize the current state of research into the consequences of nicotine and alcohol consumption, malnutrition, excessive weight gain or obesity, and impaired mental health (depression and anxiety) during pregnancy. In addition, the characteristics of pregnant women which increase their risk of developing such behaviors or mental disorders are described. A better knowledge of these risks should make it easier for clinicians to identify cases at risk early on and put measures of support in place. A review of the literature has shown that certain characteristics of pregnant women (e.g. her relationship with her partner, a previous history of mental illness prior to pregnancy) are associated with various healthdamaging behaviors as well as with impaired mental health. Affected women often show an accumulated psychosocial stress which was already present prior to the pregnancy and which may persist even after the birth of the child.

“…In addition, depressive episodes with postpartum onset may be more often associated with obsessive-compulsive and psychotic symptoms than those with pregnancy-onset [16] and prior research supports differences in depression symptom levels from pregnancy to postpartum. [33, 34] …”

Are Symptom Features of Depression During Pregnancy, the Postpartum Period and Outside the Peripartum Period Distinct? Results From a Nationally Representative Sample Using Item Response Theory (Irt)

Background Whether there are systematic differences in depression symptom expression during pregnancy, the postpartum period and outside these periods (i.e., outside the peripartum period) remains debated. The aim of this study was to use methods based on item response theory (IRT) to examine, after equating for depression severity, differences in the likelihood of reporting DSM-IV symptoms of major depressive episode (MDE) in women of childbearing age (i.e., aged 18-50) during pregnancy, the postpartum period and outside the peripartum period. Method We conducted these analyses using a large, nationally representative sample of women of childbearing age from the USA (n = 11,256) who participated in the second wave of the National Epidemiologic Survey on Alcohol and Related Conditions (NESARC). Results The overall 12-month prevalence of all depressive criteria (except for worthlessness/guilt) was significantly lower in pregnant women than in women of childbearing age outside the peripartum period, whereas the prevalence of all symptoms (except for “psychomotor symptoms”) were not significantly different between the postpartum and the non-peripartum group. There were no clinically significant differences in the endorsement rates of symptoms of MDE by pregnancy status when equating for levels of depression severity. Conclusions This study suggests that the clinical presentation of depressive symptoms in women of childbearing age does not differ during pregnancy, the postpartum period and outside the peripartum period. These findings do not provide psychometric support for the inclusion of the peripartum onset specifier for major depressive disorder in the DSM-5.
