Los problemas de salud mental materna durante el embarazo, parto y puerperio son un desafío para la salud pública. Su falta de reconocimiento atenta contra el diagnóstico y tratamientos oportunos, e impacta en la madre y el establecimiento del vínculo fundamental del binomio. Debemos reconocer los factores de riesgo (edad, situación socioeconómica, antecedentes psicopatológicos, disfunción familiar, entorno desfavorable), las manifestaciones clínicas y las herramientas de detección. Existen evidencias de que el efecto del estrés, la ansiedad y la depresión durante el embarazo afectan negativamente el neurodesarrollo fetal y condicionan los resultados del desarrollo infantil. Describimos el impacto negativo de la depresión puerperal durante los primeros meses de vida, que afecta el vínculo madre-hija/o, el desarrollo posnatal (emocional, conductual, cognitivo, lenguaje) y el mantenimiento de la lactancia materna. También reconocemos factores protectores que atemperan sus efectos. Es fundamental establecer estrategias preventivas y abordajes diagnósticos y terapéuticos interdisciplinarios para minimizar los riesgos sobre la madre y sus hijas/os.
Maternal mental health problems during pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period are a challenge for public health. Not recognizing them hinders a timely diagnosis and treatment and has an impact on the mother and the establishment of the fundamental bond of the mother-child dyad. We must recognize the risk factors (age, socioeconomic status, mental health history, family dysfunction, unfavorable environment), clinical manifestations, and screening tools. There is evidence that the effect of stress, anxiety, and depression during pregnancy negatively affect fetal neurodevelopment and condition child developmental outcomes. Here we describe the negative impact of postpartum depression during the first months of life, which affects mother-child bonding, postnatal development (emotional, behavioral, cognitive, language), and the maintenance of breastfeeding. We also recognize protective factors that mitigate its effects. It is essential to establish preventive strategies and interdisciplinary diagnostic and therapeutic approaches to minimize the risks to the mother and her children.

Abstract Introduction Although the COVID-19 pandemic negatively impacted the mental health of vulnerable populations, such as adolescent mothers, very few studies have documented the prevalence of postpartum depression (PPD) in this population. Objective a) Determine the frequency of PPD (Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale [EPDS] ≥ 9) in adolescent mothers before (AM-BP) and during (AM-DP) the pandemic, b) Examine psychosocial factors (self-esteem, maternal efficacy, social support, depression and anxiety in pregnancy, planned and wanted pregnancy) in AM-BP and AM-DP, and c) Determine whether being an AM-DP was a significant factor for experiencing PPD (EPDS ≥ 9). Method Cross sectional study. Subjects: Forty-one AM-BP recruited at Health Centers and interviewed face to face and forty-one AM-DP surveyed online. Results PPD (EPDS ≥ 9) was 42% (p = .001) more frequent in AM-DP. The groups differed significantly in all psychosocial factors, with AM-DP faring worse. Unadjusted regressions showed that being an AM-DP, having lower maternal efficacy and self-esteem, greater dissatisfaction with social support, and depression and/or anxiety in pregnancy increased PPD (EPDS ≥ 9). Adjusted multiple analysis indicated that lower self-esteem was the only factor to maintain its association with PPD (EPDS ≥ 9; p = .017). Discussion and conclusion The pandemic negatively affected PPD (EPDS ≥ 9) and psychosocial factors in AM-DP, as compared to AM-BP, with self-esteem being the main factor associated with PPD (EPDS ≥ 9). In situations of extreme stress as happened in the pandemic, the mental health of adolescent mothers should be prioritized to prevent negative effects such as PPD. PPD preventive and treatment interventions should consider strengthening self-esteem.
Resumen Introducción La pandemia por COVID-19 tuvo un impacto negativo en la salud mental de poblaciones vulnerables, como las madres adolescentes, no obstante, escasos estudios documentaron la prevalencia de depresión posparto (DPP) en esta población. Objetivo a) Conocer la frecuencia de DPP (Escala Edinburgh para la Depresión Postnatal [EPDS] ≥ 9) en madres adolescentes antes de la pandemia (MA-AP) y durante la pandemia (MA-DP), b) Examinar algunos factores psicosociales (autoestima, eficacia materna, apoyo social, depresión y ansiedad en el embarazo, embarazo planeado y deseado) en MA-AP y MA-DP, y, c) Analizar si ser MA-DP, fue un factor significativo para experimentar DPP (EPDS ≥ 9). Método Estudio transversal. Participantes: 41 MA-AP captadas en Centros de Salud y 41 MA-DP encuestadas en línea. Resultados La DPP (EPDS ≥ 9) fue 42% (p = .001) más frecuente en las MA-DP. Los grupos difirieron significativamente en todos los factores psicosociales, en detrimento de las MA-DP. Las regresiones no ajustadas mostraron que ser MA-DP, tener menor eficacia materna y autoestima, mayor insatisfacción con el apoyo social, y depresión y/o ansiedad en el embarazo incrementaron la DPP (EPDS ≥ 9). El análisis múltiple ajustado indicó que una menor autoestima fue el único factor que mantuvo su asociación con DPP (EPDS ≥ 9; p = .017). Discusión y conclusión La pandemia tuvo un efecto negativo en la DPP (EPDS ≥ 9) y en factores psicosociales en MA-DP; la autoestima fue el principal factor asociado a la misma. Ante situaciones de estrés extremo, la salud mental de madres adolescentes debería ser prioritaria para prevenir efectos negativos como la DPP. Intervenciones preventivas y de tratamiento de DPP deben fortalecer la autoestima.

Abstract Background Perinatal depression (PND) is a clinical disease developed in any stage during the pregnancy and postpartum period with serious health and economic implications. Objective The aim of this work was to analyze via bibliometrics indicators Mexico's production on PND to provide a view of the academic landscape and a comprehensive reference for subsequent research in the country. Method The Scopus and Web of Science (WoS) databases were used to perform a search for peer reviewed papers related to PND in México. The search was made following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA). The extracted data were processed with VOS Viewer to examine link strength and clusters associations of diverse bibliometrics variables. Results A total of 132 records were retrieved and we included 70 studies in the bibliometric analysis after application of the exclusion criteria. The authors with more papers were Navarrete L., and Asunción Lara M. The institutions with more papers were the National Institute of Perinatology, Ramón de la Fuente National Institute of Psychiatry, and National Institute of Public Health of Mexico. A diminution of the research considered in PND is observed in the last two years. Four keyword clusters were identified related to PND: symptoms, prevalence, pregnancy. Discussion and conclusion The scarce literature concerning PND in Mexico compared with other countries could be due the limited collaboration between the health institutes. An urgent need to increase research on PND in Mexico is evident to be applicable in the management of resources in the healthcare system.
Resumen Antecedentes La depresión perinatal (PND) es una enfermedad clínica que se desarrolla en cualquier etapa del embarazo y posparto con graves implicaciones sanitarias y económicas. Objetivo El objetivo de este trabajo fue analizar a través de indicadores bibliométricos la producción de México sobre PND, para brindar una visión del panorama académico y un referente integral para investigaciones posteriores en el país. Método Se utilizaron las bases de datos Scopus y Web of Science (WoS) para realizar una búsqueda de artículos revisados por pares relacionados con la PND en México. La búsqueda se realizó siguiendo los elementos de informes preferidos para revisiones sistemáticas y metaanálisis (PRISMA). Los datos extraídos se procesaron con VOS Viewer para examinar la fuerza de los enlaces y las asociaciones de grupos de diversas variables bibliométricas. Resultados Se recuperaron un total de 132 registros y se incluyeron 70 estudios en el análisis bibliométrico después de la aplicación de los criterios de exclusión. Los autores con más artículos fueron Navarrete L. y Asunción Lara M. Las instituciones con más artículos fueron el Instituto Nacional de Perinatología, el Instituto Nacional de Psiquiatría Ramón de la Fuente y el Instituto Nacional de Salud Pública de México. Se observa una disminución de las investigaciones consideradas en el PND en los últimos dos años. Se identificaron cuatro grupos de palabras clave relacionadas con la PND: síntomas, prevalencia y embarazo. Discusión y conclusión La escasa literatura sobre PND en México en comparación con otros países podría deberse a la limitada colaboración entre los institutos de salud. Se evidencia una necesidad urgente de realizar más investigaciones sobre PND en México que sean aplicables y útiles en la gestión de recursos en el sistema de salud.

OBJECTIVE To explore the effect mechanism of Eucommia ulmoides on improving postpartum depression in rats. METHODS Pregnant rats were randomly divided into normal group， postpartum depression group， and low-dose and high-dose groups of E. ulmoides （1.34， 2.68 g/kg， calculated by crude drug）， with 10 rats in each group. Except for the normal group， the rats in other groups suffered from fear stress to induce postpartum depression model during pregnancy； at the same time of modeling， the administration groups were given relevant medicine intragastrically， while the normal group and postpartum depression group were given physiological saline intragastrically for 21 days. Postpartum behaviors of rats during the experiment were assessed using the open field test， Morris water maze test and sucrose preference test. Additionally， the levels of corticosterone （CORT） in serum， corticotropin releasing factor （CRF） and urocortin （UCN） in hypothalamus， and adrenocorticotropic hormone （ACTH） in hypophysis were detected； meanwhile， the protein expressions of CRF receptor 1 （CRFR1）， CRFR2， and voltage-dependent anion channel 1 （VDAC1） in hippocampal tissue were measured； the proportions of apoptotic cells and JC-1 high potential cells in hippocampal tissue were determined， and the morphology of hippocampal tissue was observed. RESULTS Compared with postpartum depression group， the high-dose group of E. ulmoides showed improvements in appetite， mental state， and hair color in rats； their body weight had increased； the scores of vertical movement， horizontal movement and self-sorting significantly increased； from the 2ed to 4th day avoidance latency significantly shortened， and the times of crossing the platform and the time of crossing the platform Δ 基金项目国家自然科学基金青年基金项目（No.82204789） significantly increased/prolonged （P＜0.05）； the ratio of glucose and water consumption significantly increased at 20 days of pregnancy and 30 days postpartum （P＜0.05）； the levels of CRF， UCN， ACTH and CORT， phagocytic rate， protein expressions of CRFR2 and VDAC1， and the proportion of apoptosis cells in hippocampal tissue were decreased significantly （P＜0.05）； the proportion of JC-1 high potential cells significantly increased （P＜0.05）， and the phenomenon of edema around neuronal cells was significantly improved. CONCLUSIONS E. ulmoides can improve postpartum depression by inhibiting excessive activation of hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis， decreasing the expression of CRFR2， thereby inhibiting the expression of VDAC1， and decreasing the apoptosis of neuronal cells.

Objective: to evaluate the association between different forms of childhood trauma and postpartum depression in Brazilian puerperal women. Method: this cross-sectional survey included 253 puerperal women who were evaluated using the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale and the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire. Multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to verify the association of different types of trauma and the co-occurrence of forms of abuse and neglect with postpartum depression. Results: postpartum depression was identified in 93 women (36.8%; 95% Confidence Interval: 30.8-42.7). All forms of childhood trauma assessed (emotional abuse, emotional neglect, physical abuse, physical neglect and sexual abuse) were independently associated with postpartum depression after adjusting for confounding variables. Emotional abuse remained associated with postpartum depression when the co-occurrence of all forms of childhood trauma was analyzed. Conclusion: the results suggest an association between the different forms of childhood trauma and postpartum depression. In this sense, childhood trauma is an indicator for Nursing professionals to screen for risk factors of postpartum depression during obstetric_follow-up.
Objetivo: evaluar la asociación entre diferentes formas de traumas en la infancia y depresión posparto en puérperas brasileñas. Método: en este estudio transversal se incluyó a 253 puérperas que fueron evaluadas con la Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale y el Childhood Trauma Questionnaire . Se realizaron análisis de regresión logística multivariados para verificar la asociación de diferentes tipos de trauma y la coocurrencia de formas de abuso y negligencia con la depresión posparto. Resultados: se identificó depresión posparto en 93 mujeres (36,8%; intervalo de confianza del 95%: 30,8-42,7). Todas las formas de traumas en la infancia que se evaluaron (abuso emocional, negligencia emocional, abuso físico, negligencia física y abuso sexual) estuvieron asociadas de manera independiente con la depresión posparto después de ajustar por variables de confusión. El abuso emocional siguió estando asociado con la depresión posparto cuando se analizó la coocurrencia de todas las formas de traumas en la infancia. Conclusión: los resultados sugieren una asociación entre las diferentes formas de traumas en la infancia y la depresión posparto. En este sentido, los traumas en la infancia son un indicador para que los profesionales de Enfermería detecten factores de riesgo para la depresión posparto en los controles obstétricos.

La lactancia materna es fundamental para la salud del infante y se ve influida por diversos factores, entre ellos la salud mental materna. En particular, las madres que tienen síntomas depresivos tienen mayor riesgo de presentar dificultades de lactancia y de interrumpir tempranamente la lactancia exclusiva y la lactancia en general. Por otra parte, la lactancia materna actúa como un factor protector de la salud mental materna en algunas circunstancias, en tanto las dificultades de lactancia tienen un impacto negativo en la salud mental de la mujer. La presente revisión describe algunos de los mecanismos fisiológicos que subyacen al establecimiento y la mantención de la lactancia, asociados a la prolactina, la oxitocina, la dopamina y la serotonina, así como a la experiencia de la lactancia y la presencia de dificultades en esta área, y como estas interactúan con las dificultades emocionales de la madre. Se ofrece un modelo integrativo que considera aspectos hormonales y fisiológicos para comprender la asociación compleja y bidireccional entre el establecimiento de una lactancia exitosa y la salud mental materna.
Breastfeeding is essential for infant health and development. It is influenced by multiple factors, including maternal mental health. In particular, mothers who present depressive symptoms are at greater risk of presenting breastfeeding difficulties and presenting shorter exclusive breastfeeding and breastfeeding in general. On the other hand, breastfeeding acts as a protective factor for maternal mental health in some circumstances. Also, breastfeeding difficulties have a negative impact on womens mental health. This review describes some of the physiological mechanisms underlying the establishment and maintenance of lactation, associated with prolactin, oxytocin, dopamine, and serotonin. As well as how the lactation experience and the presence of difficulties in this area interact with the mothers emotional functioning. An integrative model is proposed, which considers hormonal and physiological aspects involved in the complex and bidirectional association between breastfeeding successful establishment and maternal mental health.

Background : A woman undergoes multiple changes physically and emotionally after childbirth. Mothers also experience emotional changes with a new or additional baby related to breastfeeding demands, problems pertaining to maternal dissonance, childcare stress and difficult infant temperament. Materials and Methods : Overall, 100 women out of 178 women who attended obstetrics and Gynaecology department postpartum in our hospital were selected. Socio-economic factors, psychiatric and maternity characteristics were collected using a standard questionnaire. The main outcome of this study was PPD assessed by Edinburgh postpartum depression scale was used to assess the chief outcome of the study, ie, Postpartum Depression. EPDRS scale consisted of 10 questions that has 4 response scored from 0 to 3, so the highest value shows depressed moods. Results : Final results are of 100 postpartum females with age ranging between 18 and 30 years with a mean value 26.5 years � 4.05, 21.3% dwelling in Urban areas and 15.4% having high education. About 2.1% of study participants had postpartum only Depression, 15.3% had only anxiety alone and 23.2% study participant had both. When we look at severity, 8.8%, 10.6%, 2.9%, and 0.4% suffered from Mild, Moderate, Severe and extremely severe Postpartum Depression, respectively. 14.2%, 9.2%, 6.9% and 3.9% suffered mild, moderate, severe, and extremely severe Postpartum anxiety, respectively. Conclusion : Around 23% female patients in our hospital suffer from Postpartum Depression and/or anxiety. Very low Socio-economic levels, past history of Depression and Anxiety, mothers� education and occupation levels, family support during pregnancy, mothers� stress levels are important predictors.

Estudos internacionais têm reportado níveis elevados de sintomas de depressão e ansiedade em mulheres no período perinatal em resultado da atual pandemia. O presente estudo avaliou a sintomatologia de depressão e ansiedade em puérperas durante a pandemia de COVID-19 no Brasil. Participaram 625 mulheres, com idades entre 18 e 44 anos (M = 31.6; DP = 5.3), que tinham um bebê até 6 meses de idade. Foram administrados o Questionário de Transtorno de Ansiedade Generalizada (GAD-7) e a Escala de Depressão Pós-Natal de Edimburgo (EPDS). Os resultados mostraram níveis clinicamente significativos de depressão (EPDS ≥13) em 47.4% das participantes, níveis clinicamente significativos de ansiedade generalizada (GAD-7 ≥10) em 41.8% dos casos, e sintomas comórbidos em 33.1% da amostra. Registrou-se uma correlação positiva significativa entre os sintomas de depressão e ansiedade. Além disso, mais dias de vida do bebê, idade mais jovem da mãe e menor nível de escolaridade estavam associados a níveis potencialmente clínicos de sintomas. Assim, é prioritária a definição de programas de prevenção e intervenção na saúde mental perinatal durante o atual período pandêmico, com continuidade para o futuro.
International studies have reported high levels of depression and anxiety symptoms in perinatal women due to the ongoing pandemic. The present study examined symptoms of depression and anxiety in postpartum women during the COVID-19 pandemic in Brazil. Participants were 625 women, aged between 18 and 44 years (M = 31.6; SD = 5.3), who had an infant up to 6 months of age. The Generalized Anxiety Disorder Questionnaire (GAD-7) and the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) were administered. Results showed clinically significant levels of depression (EPDS ≥13) in 47.4% of the participants, clinically significant levels of generalized anxiety (GAD-7 ≥10) in 41.8% of the cases, and comorbid symptoms in 33.1% of the participants. There was a significant positive correlation between symptoms of depression and anxiety. Furthermore, infant's older age, mother's younger age, and lower educational level were associated with potentially clinical levels of symptoms. Thus, prevention and intervention programs targeting perinatal mental health during the ongoing pandemic and beyond should be developed and prioritized.

Background Perfluorinated compounds (PFCs) are persistent organic pollutants. Dietary exposure to PFCs among pregnant women may lead to elevated risks of adverse events during pregnancy and postpartum depression. Objective To estimate potential risk of dietary exposure to PFCs among pregnant women in Xuhui District, Shanghai, and the relationship between dietary PFCs exposure and risks of adverse events during pregnancy and postpartum depression. Methods This study was a small cohort study which recruited women residing in Xuhui District from July 2017 to September 2018. All information was collected through questionnaires by trained investigators. Basic information and dietary information were collected at the time of inclusion, where the dietary information was obtained through the Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ). A follow-up visit was conducted within 42 d after delivery to collect the occurrence of adverse events during pregnancy and postpartum depression. According to the results of dietary survey, sampling and PFCs level testing were conducted on commercially available staple foods, poultry and livestock meat, aquatic products, vegetables, milk and dairy products, eggs, etc. The food sampling points covered all subdistricts in Xuhui District, including farmers' markets, supermarkets, convenience stores, and shops. Daily exposure level and hazard ratio (HR) of PFCs per capita were calculated according to the dietary survey and laboratory testing. Logistic regression was used to estimate the relationship between PFCs exposure and the risks of adverse events during pregnancy and postpartum depression. The levels of PFCs exposure were further divided into 4 groups according to interquartile range, and OR and Ptrend value were calculated respectively. Results A total of 345 pregnant women were recruited in this study, whose average age was (29.61±4.92) years. Among them, 26.37% subjects reported at least one adverse event during pregnancy, and 30.14% subjects reported an Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) score ≥12. A total of 132 food samples were collected and tested, and PFCs were positive mainly in milk and dairy products, poultry meat, livestock meat, eggs, fresh water products, and sea water products. The PFCs positive rate in fresh water products was the highest, reaching 100%. The average concentration of PFCs in the positive samples was 0.018-2.10 μg·kg−1. The HR of PFCs was 4.44. A higher risk of postpartum depression was found along with a higher perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) exposure level (Ptrend=0.02). Conclusion Dietary PFCs exposure may pose a health risk to pregnant women. The study findings suggest that decreasing the intake of freshwater products might help reduce the risk of PFCs exposure among pregnant women in Xuhui district, Shanghai.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effects of epidural analgesia plus dexmedetomidine infusion on postpartum depression in parturients with natural childbirth. MethodsWe selected 70 parturients aged between 22 and 36， with singleton， term， cephalic presentation， natural delivery and ASA class I or Ⅱ. The cases undergoing epidural analgesia with ropivacaine and sufentanil were randomly divided into two groups by using a random number table （n=35 for each group）. The control group （Group C） used intravenous infusion of normal saline， while the experimental group （Group D） used equivalent volumes of intravenous infusion of dexmedetomidine. Participants were followed up at 1， 6， 12 weeks after childbirth to assess the severity of postpartum depression. Blood samples were collected at 12 h and 48 h after childbirth to measure the serum prolactin levels. The hemodynamic （HR and MAP） changes， VAS scores， and Ramsay scores were recorded at five time points： before analgesia （T1）， 10 min after analgesia （T2）， 30 min after analgesia （T3）， 12 h （T4） and 24 h （T5） after delivery. The number of analgesia pump presses and adverse events were also documented. ResultsCompared with Group C， Group D showed significantly lower EPDS scores at 1 week after childbirth， significantly higher prolactin concentrations at 12 h and 48 h after childbirth， significantly lower VAS scores at T2， T3 and T4， significantly higher Ramsay score at T3 and significantly reduced number of analgesia pump presses （P < 0.05）. ConclusionEpidural analgesia plus intravenous infusion of dexmedetomidine can alleviate early postpartum depression in women undergoing natural delivery， promote early prolactin secretion and provide a safe and effective adjunctive analgesic and sedative effect.

Objective:To investigate the mediating effect of rumination in primiparae on the expectation gap of social support and postpartum depression, so as to provide a reference basis for early detection and intervention in the regulation of meternal postpartum depression.Methods:In this cross-sectional study, questionnaires were administered from November 2021 to March 2022 using the general information questionnaire, the Ruminant Thinking Response Scale, the Postpartum Social Support Scale, and the Edinburgh Postpartum Depression Scale to 266 primiparae at three tertiary level A hospitals, the First Affiliated Hospital of Xi′an Jiaotong University, the Second Affiliated Hospital of Xi′an Jiaotong University, and the Northwest Women′s and Children′s Hospital, for postpartum review, and the relationship between ruminant thinking, social support expectation gap, and postpartum depression was analyzed using correlation analysis, structural equation modeling, and application of Bootsrap method.Results:The social support expectation gap, ruminative thinking, and postpartum depression average scores were (16.74 ± 12.77), (39.43 ± 4.14), (6.77 ± 2.77) points, respectively.There were positive correlations between social support expectation gap and ruminative thinking, postpartum depression, and ruminative thinking and postpartum depression ( r=0.62, 0.75, 0.70, all P<0.01). Primiparae ruminative thinking partially mediated the relationship between social support expectation gap and postpartum depression, with the mediating effect accounting for 22% of the total effect. Conclusions:Social support expectation gap can directly affect the occurrence of postpartum depression, but also indirectly through ruminative thinking, and postpartum depression can be prevented and intervened from the perspective of reducing ruminative thinking in clinical practice.

ObjectiveTo investigate the incidence and influencing factors of postpartum depression and anxiety in Urumqi during the coronavirus disease （COVID-19） epidemic period in 2020. MethodsResearch subjects were the parturients who underwent postpartum health checkups in a third class hospital in Urumqi from January 2020 to December 2020. The maternal socio demographic and obstetric information were collected， and PHQ-9 and GAD-7 scales were used for screening of PPD and PPA. Calcaneal bone mineral density of the parturients was measured by French Pegasus ultrasonic bone densitometer. After univariate analysis of the related influencing factors of PPD and PPA， multivariate binary logistic regression analysis was used to explore the relationship between mental disorders and various influencing factors. ResultsA total of 2 490 puerpera participated in the survey. The incidences of PPD and PPA in 2020 were 13.4 % and 10.8 %， respectively. Six factors with statistical differences after univariate analysis were included in multivariate binary logistic regression analysis. The final results suggested that age over 35 （OR=1.707，95%CI：1.142‒2.551）， unemployment （OR=1.478，95%CI：1.003‒2.205）， multipara（OR=1.340，95%CI：1.037‒1.733）， bone loss and osteoporosis （OR=1.434，95%CI： 1.076‒1.910） were the risk factors of PPD， while breastfeeding （OR=0.466，95%CI： 0.301‒0.721） was a protective factor. Ages between 18‒24 （OR=1.559，95%CI：1.282‒3.097） and cesarean section （OR=1.433，95%CI： 1.105‒1.859） were the risk factors of PPA， while ages between 30‒34 years old （OR=0.524，95%CI： 0.332‒0.827）， occupation as medical staff （OR=0.282，95%CI： 0.807‒0.919）， breastfeeding （OR=0.530，95%CI： 0.330‒0.850） were protective factors. ConclusionIncidences of PPD and PPA are in middle-low levels during COVID-19 epidemic period. Age， occupation， delivery mode， delivery times， feeding pattern and bone mineral density are the influencing factors. Screen coverage of PPD and PPA in special period should be strengthened， and measures should be taken to reduce the risk.

ABSTRACT Objective: The COVID-19 pandemic Increased the risk of impairing the mother-infant bonding. The objectives of this study were to evaluate the early bond established between mother and infant and postpartum depression (PPD) in pregnancies that occurred during the pandemic period, to identify the factors that may have influenced these outcomes and to verify if there was an association between bonding and probable PPD. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study of postpartum women from a public maternity hospital in the city of São Paulo conducted from February to June 2021, involving 127 mother-baby dyads. The initial data were collected in the immediate postpartum period and between 21-45 days after birth, using a semi-structured questionnaire on sociodemographic characteristics, gestational and birth conditions, and baby characteristics; the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) and Postpartum Bonding Questionnaire (PBQ) were used to evaluate PPD and bonding, respectively. Results: The presence of probable PPD and unplanned pregnancies were associated with higher PBQ score and risk to impaired bonding (p = 0.001 and p = 0.004, respectively). EPDS showed a high prevalence of PPD (29.1%) and was not associated with any Studied variable. Probably, this high prevalence of probable PPD was due to the context of insecurity secondary to the pandemic. Conclusions: We observed an increase in the prevalence of probable PPD and unplanned pregnancies during the first 18 months of the pandemic, which were associated with worse scores in mother-infant bonding. The impaired bond can affect the future development of children born during this period.
RESUMO Objetivo: A pandemia do COVID-19 aumentou o risco de o vínculo entre mãe-bebê ser prejudicado. Os objetivos deste estudo foram avaliar o vínculo mãe-bebê estabelecido precocemente e a depressão puerperal (DP) em gestações que ocorreram durante a pandemia, identificar os fatores que podem ter influenciado esses resultados e verificar se houve associação entre o vínculo e a provável depressão puerperal. Métodos: Foi realizado um estudo transversal com puérperas de uma maternidade pública da cidade de São Paulo, no período de fevereiro a junho de 2021, envolvendo 127 díades mãe-bebê. Os dados foram obtidos no puerpério imediato e 21 a 45 dias após o parto, utilizando-se um questionário semiestruturado sobre as características sociodemográficas, as condições de gestação e nascimento e características do recém-nascido; a escala de depressão puerperal de Edimburgo (EPDS) e o questionário de vínculo pós-parto (PBQ) foram utilizados para avaliar a presença de provável DP e o vínculo mãe-bebê, respectivamente. Resultados: A presença de provável DP e as gestações não planejadas foram associadas a maiores escores no PBQ e no risco de vínculo prejudicado (p = 0,001 e p = 0,004, respectivamente). A escala de Edimburgo mostrou alta prevalência de risco de depressão puerperal (29,1%) e não foi associada a nenhuma variável estudada. Provavelmente, a alta prevalência de provável DP foi secundária ao contexto de insegurança decorrente da pandemia. Conclusões: Observamos aumento na prevalência da provável DP e das gestações não planejadas durante os primeiros 18 meses da pandemia, os quais estiveram associados a piores escores no vínculo mãe-bebê. O prejuízo no vínculo pode afetar o desenvolvimento futuro das crianças geradas durante esse período.

Resumen OBJETIVO: Determinar la prevalencia de depresión posparto en una muestra de población mexicana por medio de la Escala de Edimburgo y los factores de riesgo asociados con su inicio MATERIALES Y MÉTODOS: Estudio observacional, transversal, relacional y analítico efectuado en una muestra de población mexicana atendida entre los meses de marzo a julio del 2022 en cuatro hospitales de segundo y tercer nivel de cuatro entidades de la República Mexicana. Se aplicó la escala de Edimburgo a pacientes en el puerperio. Los datos obtenidos se procesaron con una técnica de regresión logística binaria ajustada para identificar los factores de riesgo más importantes de depresión posparto. RESULTADOS: De una muestra de 717 pacientes a quienes se aplicó la Escala de Edimburgo, 106 resultaron positivas a depresión posparto, lo que da una prevalencia del 14.9%. La edad promedio de las pacientes fue de 26 años (límites de 12 y 46). El estado civil soltera resultó un factor protector de depresión posparto y, en su contraparte, quienes estaban casadas tuvieron cierta predisposición a la depresión posparto. A mayor grado de escolaridad menor predisposición a la depresión posparto. CONCLUSIONES: Los principales factores de riesgo de depresión posparto fueron: el antecedente de trastornos psiquiátricos en la familia, depresión previa, dificultades económicas y ser soltera. Las pacientes pueden cursar con diversos factores de riesgo simultáneos, circunstancia que potencia el riesgo de depresión. Es primordial que el obstetra identifique los factores de riesgo desde el control prenatal, a fin de prevenir que el estado depresivo se agudice durante el puerperio.
Abstract OBJECTIVE: To determine the prevalence of postpartum depression in a Mexican population sample by means of the Edinburgh Scale and the risk factors associated with its onset. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Observational, cross-sectional, relational and analytical study carried out in a sample of Mexican population attended from March to July 2022 in four second and third level hospitals in four Mexican states. The Edinburgh scale was applied to postpartum patients. The data obtained were processed with a binary logistic regression technique adjusted to identify the most important risk factors for postpartum depression. RESULTS: From a sample of 717 patients to whom the Edinburgh Scale was applied, 106 were positive for postpartum depression, giving a prevalence of 14.9%. The average age of the patients was 26 years (range 12 and 46). Unmarried marital status was a protective factor for postpartum depression and, on the other hand, those who were married had a certain predisposition to postpartum depression. The higher the level of schooling the lower the predisposition to postpartum depression. CONCLUSIONS: The main risk factors for postpartum depression were: history of psychiatric disorders in the family, previous depression, economic difficulties and being single. Patients may have several simultaneous risk factors, a circumstance that increases the risk of depression. It is essential for the obstetrician to identify the risk factors from the prenatal check-up, to prevent the depressive state from worsening during the puerperium.

O objetivo deste estudo foi mapear na literatura científica a relação entre desrespeito e abuso no parto e a ocorrência da depressão pós-parto. Trata-se de uma revisão de escopo elaborada de acordo com as recomendações do Instituto Joanna Briggs. As buscas foram realizadas nas bases de dados Embase, LILACS, MEDLINE, PsycINFO e Web of Science e no Portal de Teses e Dissertações da CAPES. Foram incluídos estudos que investigaram a relação entre desrespeito e abuso no parto e depressão pós-parto. Foram considerados como depressão os casos diagnosticados pelo médico e os autorrelatos por meio de escalas validadas, sem restrições quanto ao ano de publicação e ao idioma. Identificaram-se 3.399 publicações e, após remoção de duplicatas, leitura de título, resumo e textos completos, houve seleção de sete artigos para integrar esta revisão. Os estudos foram publicados a partir de 2017 e somente em quatro países. As mulheres que tiveram experiências de desrespeito e abuso no parto foram mais propensas a apresentar sintomas de depressão pós-parto. Faz-se necessária uma terminologia padrão para a assistência desrespeitosa e abusiva no parto, bem como a elaboração de instrumento para mensuração que seja aceito universalmente.

Los estudios se publicaron a partir de 2017, solamente en cuatro países. Las mujeres que tuvieron experiencias de falta de respeto y abuso durante el parto tenían más probabilidades de presentar síntomas de depresión posparto. Se necesita una terminología estándar para la atención del parto irrespetuosa y abusiva, así como el desarrollo de un instrumento de medición que sea universalmente aceptado.
This study aims to map, within the scientific literature, the relationship between disrespect and abuse during childbirth and the occurrence of postpartum depression. This is a scoping review designed in accordance with the recommendations of the Joanna Briggs Institute. The search was performed in Embase, LILACS, MEDLINE, PsycINFO, Web of Science, and in the CAPES Portal of Theses and Dissertations. We included studies that investigated the relationship between disrespect and abuse during childbirth with postpartum depression, considering cases diagnosed by physicians and by self-reports via validated scales, without restrictions regarding the year of publication and language. A total of 3,399 publications were identified and, after removing the duplicates and reading the title, abstracts, and the full-texts, seven articles were selected to integrate this review. Studies were published from 2017 onward, in four countries. Women who had experienced disrespect and abuse during childbirth were more likely to experience symptoms of postpartum depression. A standard terminology is necessary for disrespectful and abusive care during childbirth, as well as the elaboration of a measurement instrument that is universally accepted.
