RESUMO
The prevalence of depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) was examined in 238 pregnant women with (n = 146) and without (n = 92) coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) using the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI), Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS), and PTSD Checklist for DSM-5 (PCL-5). Fetal outcomes in the same groups were evaluated using the Apgar score. Anxiety and depression scores were significantly higher in women with COVID-19 but PTSD scores were similar in both groups. Infection with COVID-19 was associated with a higher number of fetal deaths or an Apgar score <7. During the COVID-19 pandemic, approximately 46.6% of pregnant women had depression, 5.5% had PTSD, 64.3% had state anxiety, and 60.9% had trait anxiety. Except for PTSD, psychiatric problems and poor fetal outcomes were higher in women with COVID-19 than in those without COVID-19. Lastly, women with COVID-19 were more prone to have a fetus who died or had an Apgar score of <7.
