LIMA, Leilsonda Silva; CARMO, Tainá Orrara Amaral do; BRITO NETO, Custódio de Souza e PENA, José Luis da Cunha. Depressive symptoms in pregnant women and intimate partner violence: a cross-sectional study. Enferm. glob. [online]. 2020, vol.19, n.60, pp.1-45. Epub 21-Dez-2020.

Objective:
To evaluate the presence of depressive symptoms in pregnant women and their association with intimate partner violence.
Methods:
This is a cross-sectional pilot study conducted with a sample of 65 pregnant women who performed prenatal care at the Basic Health Unit of the Federal University of Amapá in September and October 2018. For data collection, a socioeconomic, demographic and obstetric questionnaire was used, apart from the Edinburgh Postpartum Depression Scale, and the Multi-Country Study on Women's Health and Domestic Violence.
Results:
41.5% of the pregnant women had depressive symptoms; in the logistic regression analysis, these symptoms have a significant association in women who suffer some type of intimate partner violence (OR = 6.74; 95% CI: 2.0 - 21.7; p = 0.001). In addition, being employed, being single, having low schooling, low family income, and unwanted pregnancies were affected by depressive symptoms during pregnancy.
Conclusions:
There was a high percentage of depressive symptoms during pregnancy and these were related to intimate partner violence.
