RESUMO
Introducción: Las medidas restrictivas que optaron para aminorar el contagio por COVID-19 pudieron mantener e incluso incrementar los altos niveles de depresión y violencia, poniendo en riesgo tanto al feto como la madre. Objetivo: Identificar la prevalencia y factores asociados a la depresión en gestantes peruanas durante la pandemia por la COVID-19. El estudio: Estudio observacional-analítico, con 267 gestantes en su tercer trimestre de embarazo. Realizándose durante el mes de enero del 2021, aplicando la Escala de Edimburgo y la versión en español del Index of Spouse Abuse-19 (ISA-19). Hallazgos: El 62.17% de gestantes presento depresión y el 17.6%, violencia conyugal durante el embarazo. La violencia conyugal, el antecedente de al menos un embarazo perdido y el embarazo planificado, se asociaron a la depresión. Conclusiones: La violencia conyugal aumenta la prevalencia de depresión durante el embarazo a diferencia de un embarazo planificado o el antecedente de al menos un embarazo perdido.
