Family influence on perinatal depression

Abstract Background The perinatal period is of big changes and adaptations for pregnant woman, making them more susceptible to depression. Perinatal depression can have huge negative consequences for the pregnant woman, child, family and society. Thus, the objective of this work is to understand the family influence in the appearance of this pathology. Methods This is a cross-sectional observational study of a sample of pregnant women included for convenience, who answered a questionnaire with sociodemographic questions, pathological and physiological background and 4 scales: ERAP, EADS-21, FACES IV and ESSS. A descriptive analysis was carried out and then an inferential statistical analysis between the levels of depression, stress and anxiety and different variables. Results The sample includes 41 pregnant women who agreed to participate in the study. It was found that only the family variables related to ‘Satisfaction with the family’ (P = 0.024) and ‘Intimacy’ (P = 0.006) seem to have significant relationship with the levels of perinatal depression. As possible confounding variables influencing these levels, we have the fact that pregnancy is planned (P = 0.049), ‘Satisfaction with friends’ (P = 0.001) and ‘Social activities’ (P≤0.001). Conclusions It was proven that high levels of satisfaction with family and intimacy are protective factors for the development of perinatal depression. These family-related risk factors can be easily addressed in the context of family’s doctor appointments and help to detect pregnant women at risk of perinatal depression. Deepening this knowledge will make it possible to prevent and intervene earlier in these cases and, consequently, reduce the harmful effects of this pathology.

Anxiety Questionnaire

SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus emerged in the world at the end of 2019. The introduction of a number of restrictions had a significant effect on numerous aspects of human life with particular influence being exerted on pregnant women and their sense of security. The study aimed to assess the level of anxiety and its main determinants in women in the third trimester of pregnancy during the coronavirus pandemic. The study technique included the present purposely designed questionnaire, Labor Anxiety Questionnaire (KLPII), and the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI). The study was conducted in a group of 315 women in the third trimester of pregnancy. A total of 258 women (81.9%) completed the questionnaire in May 2020, and 57 of them (18.1%) completed it in October 2020. The overall analysis of the Labor Anxiety Questionnaire and the STAI inventory revealed a high level of anxiety, particularly situational anxiety, in pregnant women during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. The age and financial status of the women were the factors which contributed to the intensification of tokophobia. Women interviewed in October 2020 were characterized by higher tokophobia levels compared to the respondents included in May 2020. It seems justified to in-crease the vigilance in the diagnostics of possible mental disorders in the perinatal period during pandemic.

Women may experience new-onset or worsening depressive disorders during pregnancy and the postpartum. If untreated, there may be detrimental consequences to the health and wellbeing of the woman and to her baby. There is a need for improved tools and approaches that can be easily and broadly implemented to effectively detect depression during the perinatal period. Early identification of depression during pregnancy is an important first step towards connecting women to treatment and preventing continued depression into the postpartum or beyond. This report provides preliminary findings from a pilot study of a digital screening app for perinatal depression expiring potential for app reach, engagement, and user demographics and mental health symptoms. With mainly passive recruitment efforts, we collected cross-sectional mental health data on over 700 women during the perinatal period, including women across over 30 countries. We report on mean depression scores among women during pregnancy and the postpartum as well as on constructs that are commonly comorbid with depression, including anxiety, sleep dysregulation, and perceived stress. Over half of the women during pregnancy and over 70% of women in the postpartum had a depression score indicative of clinical depression. Future research directions for this work and potential for public health impact are discussed, including longitudinal data collection and analyses of symptomology over time and embedding evidence-based digital therapeutics into the app as a means to increase access to mental health services.

Introduction: The early years of a child’s life are marked by a significant development, as well as high sensitivity to environmental influences such as poverty, housing, quality and family structure. Thus, the identification of environmental risk factors and delayed neurodevelopment, coupled with early intervention, are essential for an healthy development. Objective: To analyze the effect of environmental factors on the neuropsychomotor development of children in the Amazon community. Methods: This is a quantitative and qualitative study of analytical and cross-sectional approach with 50 children between 24 and 36 months of age, of both sexes, living in an Amazonian community. Two types of the socio-economic-environmental questionnaire were used; a) Infant/Toddler (IT) HOME Inventory to analyze the quality of the family environment; b) the Denver Screening Test II for screening neurodevelopment. Also, a descriptive analysis was performed using a calculation of means and standard deviations. Results: The study found that a significant majority of the children had normal neuropsychomotor development; however, children classified as delayed, the more significant impact variable in the development was the quality of the family environment, which in turn was influenced by the lower economic class, lack of water treatment, lack of electricity and external toilet.

Micronutrient Deficiencies

Abstract Background Involved in physical and brain development, immune system functioning and various metabolic processes, micronutrients have profound health effects. The nutritional status of the pregnant woman is a major determinant of fetal health. French Guiana has the highest annual population growth rate. Social inequalities, cultural practices and parasitoses in French Guiana could affect the prevalence of these deficiencies. The main objective was to estimate the prevalence of micronutrient deficiency among pregnant women in French Guiana. The secondary objective was to identify socio-demographic, dietary, obstetric and neonatal risk factors associated with deficiencies.Methods Pregnant woman over 22 weeks of pregnancy hospitalized for delivery at the Obstetrical Emergency Department of the Hospital Center in Cayenne from May 2018 to March 2019. A socio-demographic and food questionnaire was administered. Medical data were collected from the medical records. Blood and urine samples were taken. The descriptive analysis used the Student and Chi2 tests. Prevalence ratios were obtained a Poisson regression.Results A total of 341 women were included. The majority were born in Haiti (39%) and French Guiana (34%). At least one micronutrient deficiency was documented in 81% of women. Women receiving State Medical Aid had a 35% greater risk of deficiency during pregnancy compared to those with both normal and complementary health insurance. (PR=1.35 95% CI (1.12;1.63) p-value=0. 002)Conclusions Micronutrient deficiencies in pregnant women in French Guiana are a real public health problem, a fact that was previously overlooked in a context of rising obesity. A varied and balanced diet remains the most effective solution to prevent these deficiencies. In French Guiana, a region where precariousness and obesity are widespread, nutritional care seems urgent.
