| Summary: | Objective: To identify the presence of depression in pregnant women accompanied by the
prenatal care program in Primary Health Care.
Method: A descriptive and exploratory study with a quantity-qualitative approach that was
performed in two stages: application of the Beck Depression Inventory and semi-structured
interview. The data were analyzed using simple descriptive statistics and content analysis.
Results: The Beck Depression Inventory showed that, of the 67 interviewed pregnant women,
22 (33%) had depressive symptoms, 14 (64%) had mild to moderate depression, and two
(9%) had severe depression. Two topics emerged from the interview: Gestational period
experience, and Nursing consultation and prenatal mental health approach.
Conclusion: The study showed that depression during pregnancy is frequent. Prenatal nursing
consultation can be an opportunity for depression detection and early diagnosis and for
improved care of the pregnant woman. |
