Resumen
Abstract
Background Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has caused an increase in perinatal depression. The aim of this
research was to identify which sociodemographic variables are related to the increase in perinatal depression due to
the pandemic. In addition to estimating to what extent they predict perinatal depression, diferentiating the prenatal
and postnatal periods.
Methods The sample consisted of 3,356 subjects, 1,402 in the prenatal period and 1,954 in the postnatal period. The
Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale was used to assess depressive symptomatology. A subset of 14 questions was
included to collect demographic data. Items from the Spanish version of the Coronavirus Perinatal Experiences Survey
were also included.
Results Experiencing the change of environment due to COVID-19 as negative and having a history of mental
health predict perinatal depression, otherwise having higher education decreases the risk. In the prenatal stage hav‑
ing symptoms compatible with COVID-19 is a predictor of perinatal depression and having more than 3 years living
together with the partner and being a housewife decreases the risk. In the postnatal stage being unemployed is a
predictor of prenatal depression and being a frst-time mother decreases the risk.
Conclusions This study highlights the relevance of sociodemographic status. It is essential to be aware of the risk fac‑
tors of perinatal depression, to make adequate prevention, and to create health policies to alleviate the consequences
of the pandemic.
