    Depresión perinatal en mujeres gestantes fumadoras: prevalencia, características de la sintomatología depresiva y factores de riesgo
    (Sociedad Chilena de Obstetricia y Ginecología, 2024-08-26) Martín Agudiez, Nuria; Rodríguez Muñoz, María de la Fe; Izquierdo Méndez, Nuria; Olivares Crespo, María Eugenia; Soto Balbuena, Cristina
    Introducción: El tabaquismo es un problema de salud pública. Existe una asociación entre el tabaquismo y el desarrollo de depresión perinatal. Objetivo: Estimar la prevalencia de la depresión prenatal y analizar los factores de riesgo que predicen el desarrollo de depresión prenatal en un grupo representativo de mujeres españolas gestantes fumadoras. Método: Se llevó a cabo un estudio transversal en una muestra de 1.524 de embarazadas en el primer trimestre de gestación. Se les administró el Cuestionario de salud del paciente (PHQ-9) y el Inventario revisado de predictores de depresión posparto (PDPI-R). Resultados: Se encontró una tasa de depresión antenatal en mujeres fumadoras del 25,6%. Se encontraron como predictores de depresión prenatal en fumadoras el estresor de enfermedad grave de un familiar y la falta de apoyo emocional de la pareja. Conclusiones: La falta de apoyo social y la carencia de estrategias adaptativas de afrontamiento del estrés es posible que hagan más proclive que la mujer continúe fumando en el embarazo y aumentan el riesgo de depresión perinatal.

    Objective: This pilot study evaluated the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary effectiveness of a cognitive-behavioural intervention to prevent perinatal depressive symptoms in pregnant women at high risk for perinatal depression in Spain. Background: Perinatal depression (PD) can negatively affect maternal and infant outcomes. Mamás y Bebés/The Mothers and Babies Course (MBC) is an evidence-based CBT intervention aimed at teaching women at high risk for depression mood regulation skills to prevent depression in the United States, including Spanishspeaking perinatal women in the United States. However, there is limited research on preventive interventions for PD in Spain. Method: Pregnant women screened for high risk for PD were recruited in their first trimester in an obstetrics clinic at two urban hospitals in Spain. In a non-experimental design, 30 women completed eight weekly group sessions of the MBC. The Patient Health Questionnaire was the main depression outcome at four time points: pre-intervention, post-intervention, and at 3 months and 6 months postpartum. Participants completed an evaluation questionnaire at the end of each session to assess the acceptability of the intervention. Results: The MBC was effective in reducing depressive symptoms from baseline to all three time points: post-intervention, 3 and 6 months postpartum. Attendance was high (76.7% attended all eight sessions). Mothers reported positive feedback from the participating in the MBC. Conclusion: This pilot study suggests that the intervention is feasible, acceptable, and provides promising evidence for reducing depressive symptoms in urban Spanish perinatal women. Larger and rigorous randomised trials are needed to confirm these findings.

    Suicidal ideation: prevalence and risk factors during pregnancy
    (Elsevier, 2022-03) Castelao Legazpi, Pilar Carolina; Rodríguez Muñoz, María de la Fe; Le, Huynh-Nhu; Soto Balbuena, Cristina; Olivares, Maria Eugenia; Izquierdo Méndez, Nuria
    Introduction: Although suicide is the main cause of maternal death during pregnancy in industrialized countries, there are few research regarding the prevalence and risk factors of suicidal ideation during pregnancy, especially in Spain. Method: In a multicenter study, the sample included 1,524 pregnant women recruited from an obstetrics setting from two Spanish tertiary-care public hospitals. The prevalence of prenatal suicidal ideation was estimated by analyzing their responses to item 9 on the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9). The risk factors (which increases the probability of having suicidal ideation) included sociodemographic and biomedical variables, and the stress subscale from the revised prenatal version of the Postpartum Depression Predictors Inventory (PDPI-R). Results: A total of 2.6% of pregnant women reported suicidal ideation. Risk factors of suicidal ideation during pregnancy include sociodemographic, such as prior history of depression (β = 0.120, p < .05), unemployment (β = 0.149, p < .05), and being an immigrant (β = 0.140, p < .01), and biomedical variables, such as previous abortion (β =0.169, p < .01) and assisted reproduction (β = -0.100, p < .05). Discussion: Given that the prevalence of suicidal ideation is higher than expected, the results of the study suggest the critical need for screening and designing preventive interventions adapted to pregnant women to decrease risk of associated suicidal behavior. In protocols carried out by midwives, specific risk factors should be included in health screenings during pregnancy.

    The Prevalence and Risk Factors for Antenatal Depression Among Pregnant Immigrant and Native Women in Spain
    (SAGE Publications, 2019-11-28) Marcos Nájera, Rosa; Rodríguez Muñoz, María de la Fe; Soto Balbuena, Cristina; Olivares Crespo, María Eugenia; Izquierdo Méndez, Nuria; Le, Huynh-Nhu; Escudero Gomis, Ana
    Introduction: The aim was to examine the risk factors of anternatal depression among immigrant and native pregnant women in Spain. Method: A total of 1,524 pregnant women completed the Patient Health Questionnaire and the Postpartum Depression Predictors Inventory–Revised form. Results: The native group reported a lower prevalence (15.2%) compared with immigrant group (25.8%). For immigrants, primiparity, moving, and perceived lack instrumental support from friends or emotional support from partners and family members were significant risk factors. Discussion: The study identified risk factors that can be used for preventive interventions during pregnancy. Significance: Screening and interventions for depression during pregnancy should take migration status into account to maximize effective health care. Also, health providers should consider how migration status can result in different risk factors that affect depression during pregnancy.

    Validation of the Generalized Anxiety Disorder Screener (GAD-7) in Spanish Pregnant Women
    (Colegio Oficial de Psicólogos del Principado de Asturias, 2020) Soto Balbuena, Cristina; Rodríguez Muñoz, María de la Fe; Le, Huynh-Nhu
    Background: Anxiety during pregnancy is one of the most common mental health problems and a significant risk factor for postpartum depression. The Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7) is one of the most widely used self-report measures of anxiety symptoms available in multiple languages. This study evaluates the psychometric properties and underlying factor structures of the Spanish GAD-7 among pregnant women in Spain. Method: Spanish-speaking pregnant women (N = 385) were recruited from an urban obstetrics setting in Northern Spain. Women completed the GAD-7 and the anxiety subscale of the Symptom Checklist (SCL90-R) at three time points, once per trimester. The reliability, concurrent validity, and factor analyses were conducted to evaluate the psychometric properties and factor structure, respectively. Results: In the first trimester, the GAD-7 demonstrated good internal consistency (a = 0.89). GAD-7 is positively correlated with SCL90-R (anxiety subscale; r=0.75; p < 0.001). The proposed one-factor structure is found using exploratory factor analysis —FACTOR program — with Unweighted Least Squares procedure and optimal implementation of parallel analysis (GFI = 0.99). Conclusions: Health providers should screen for anxiety using the GAD-7 during pregnancy among urban Spanish-speaking samples to provide appropriate follow-up care.
