Abstract

Introduction: Depressive disorders (DD) assume the fourth position as determining factors for another diseases. One of the known forms of DD is postpartum depression (PPD), which has a prevalence of 10-20% in the population. Such discrepancy is due to sociocultural differences and study methods. Because there is a shortage of content and studies on the subject, makes eminent the need to emphasize, evaluate and better handle to PPD. Objective: Evaluate the presence of depressive symptoms in women in postpartum period and analyze the clinical-epidemiological profile (socioeconomic, clinical-obstetric and psychosocial factors) of these women. From these data, make an analysis of the predisposing factors possibly involved in the development of postpartum depression (PPD). Methods: Prospective, cross-sectional, quantitative and descriptive study, carried out with a total of 60 postpartum women hospitalized at the Maternal Infant Hospital of Our Lady of Nazareth. A questionnaire containing information on the clinical- epidemiological profile was used and, in addition, all participants also answered questions related to the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) for the identification of depressive symptoms. Results: The presence of women in postpartum period with depressive symptoms according to the EPDS score was 25%. Stress during pregnancy (p 0.009), personal previous depression (p 0.029), and pregnancy denial (p 0.000) showed possible predisposing factors for the development of PPD. Conclusion: The high prevalence of patients identified with possible postpartum depression found in the present study reinforces the need to view PPD as a public health problem in Brazil. EPDS could be used as a screening tool for postpartum women. Prevention and investigation strategies are essential to reduce the prevalence of postpartum disease, which may decrease the direct impact on family relationships, the quality of the relationship between mother and child, and the worsening of symptoms in the medium and long term.
