“…In the study conducted by Francisco et al, 33 it was found that women who had experienced recurrent miscarriages had twice as much depression as women who did not have a history of recurrent miscarriages. The psychological impact of previous losses and the necessity of living with the uncertainty created by the threat of a new miscarriage increase the sensitivity to psychiatric symptoms, elevate feelings of hopelessness, and cause an increase in the rate of depression and anxiety disorders in this population 15 . Our study findings support this fact.…”

The study was to evaluate the anxiety, depressive symptoms, hopelessness, and perceived social support of women who became pregnant using assisted reproductive techniques and who were both diagnosed or not diagnosed with threatened miscarriage (TM). Design and Methods: This comparative and descriptive study was carried out with 194 pregnant women with-TM (96) and non-TM (98). The study data were collected using the Pregnant-Women-Information-Form, Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI), Beck Hopelessness Scale (BHS) and Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS). Findings: Women in the TM group were found to have higher mean scores from the BDI, BAI, and BHS, and a lower mean score from the MSPSS compared to the non-TM group (The group with TM had higher levels of anxiety, depression, and hopelessness than the group without TM, and the level of perceived social support by this group was lower). It was found that there was a strongly significant positive correlation in both groups between the BDI and BAI, and between the BDI and BHS. A strongly significant negative correlation was found between the BDI, BAI, BHS, and MSPSS in the TM group, whereas there was a moderately significant negative correlation in the non-TM group. It was found that there was a statistically significant difference between the mean BDI, BAI, BHS, and MSPSS scores according to age group, educational status, number of interventional in vitro fertilization attempts, and history of depression. In addition, there was a statistically significant difference between the mean BDI, BAI, and BHS scores according to previous abortion and family history of depression in the TM group. Practice Implications: Monitoring symptoms of depression, anxiety, and hopelessness in women diagnosed with TM who have become pregnant after infertility treatment, intervening due to the risk factors involved, may prevent possible mental problems and have a positive impact on the healthy continuation of the pregnancy.

“…Destaca-se que 3 artigos apresentaram dados da VPI em mulheres gestantes heterossexuais (Jain et al, 2017;Carvalho et al, 2016); 4 estudos abordaram sobre o uso e abuso de substâncias, tendo como principais substâncias o uso do tabaco e o álcool (Kamimura, Nourian, Assasnik & Franchek-Roa, 2016;Zweig, Yahner, Dank & Lachman, 2016); 3 estudos trataram sobre a VPI em jovens adolescentes, que em sua maioria são mulheres (Kamimura et al, 2016;Romito, Beltramini & Escribà-Agüir, 2013); 1 estudo abordou somente mulheres homo e heterossexuais (Lövestad et al, 2017 (IC95% = 0,97% -1,48%). No período seguinte, em 2013, houve diminuição para 0,54% (IC95% = 0,38% -0,77%), e no ano de 2014 ainda apontou baixo nível: 0,58% (IC95% = 0,52% -0,64%).…”

“…No Brasil, os 4 estudos (Jain et al, 2016;Carvalho et al, 2016) que abordam sobre a VPI trouxeram diferentes objetivos, porém abordam participantes mulheres maiores de 18 anos e que relatavam terem sofrido violência psicológica pelos seus parceiros íntimos em todos os estudos.

“…Internacionalmente, 11 estudos (Santos & Monteiro, 2018;Carvalho et al, 2016) abordaram sobre a VPI e entre os estudos predominantemente o sexo feminino ainda é encontrado como a vítima da agressão, porém é importante salientar que a violência também pode ocorrer em relações entre pessoas do mesmo sexo e as mulheres serem também as perpetradoras de violência, mesmo que seja para a sua defesa. Evidenciou-se também que apenas 1 estudo (Silva & Azevedo, 2019) abordou sobre a VPI entre homens e que a mesma está associada a uso de substâncias, homofobia internalizada, podendo perceber que são necessárias mais pesquisas sobre a VPI em casais homoafetivos, a fim de discutir os efeitos e associações que o mesmo pode ter sobre o indivíduo vítima e indivíduo agressor.…”

Intimate partner violence (IPV) is configured as any form of violent behavior committed both at home and in any intimate relationship of affection, regardless of cohabitation, which can impact the psychological health of people who are affected. Therefore, this study sought to evaluate the evidence on the prevalence of depression in people who experienced violence by intimate partners through a systematic review with meta-analysis. Searches were carried out in the PubMed, LILACS, SciELO and Virtual Health Library databases. Fifteen articles were included and it was possible to identify that the prevalences were varied, with minimum rates of 5.7% up to a maximum of 79.4%. It was concluded that according to the added value, there is a positive correlation so that the occurrence of violence by intimate partners can generate the occurrence of depression. The review therefore indicates the need for preventive and health promotion actions, especially with regard to mental health.

Background: Women with a history of recurrent miscarriage(RM) are a more vulnerable population, caring for the pregnant women with a history of RM is quite needed. Although evidence suggests an association among anxiety, depression and social support. Yet, it is unclear about changes in and relationships between anxiety, depression and social support among the pregnant women with a history of RM throughout the pregnancy period. The aim of this study was to examine the changes in and relationships among anxiety, depression and social support across three trimesters of pregnancy in Chinese women with a history of RM. Methods: A prospective, longitudinal study was employed. The study was carried out between September 2016 and October 2017 in a teaching hospital in Guangzhou, China. A convenience sample of 166 pregnant women with a history of RM completed the measures at their 6-12, 20-24 and 32-36 gestational weeks. data were collected by a master student with Zung Self-Rating Anxiety Scale, the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale, and the Perceived Social Support Scale. Results: Anxiety decreased from the early pregnancy to late pregnancy while depression first declined from early pregnancy to mid-pregnancy then remained to late pregnancy. Social support increased from early pregnancy to mid-pregnancy and then remained to late pregnancy. There were correlations in anxiety, depression and social support across the three trimesters of pregnancy. Conclusions: Anxiety and depression are highly prevalent in pregnant women with a history of RM, especially in early pregnancy, which merits clinical attention. Social support was an important buffer against anxiety and depression across the pregnancy. Interventions targeting women with RM may improve the health outcomes of women and their children.
