“…[10] Apart from physical outcomes, psychological disorders such as prenatal and post-natal depression are strongly predictable within women who suffer from high levels of stress. [11][12][13][14] Seemingly, schizophrenia among male offspring is proposed and related to some maternal stress during pregnancy in literature. [8,15,16] Importantly, social support and quality of life are recognized as buffering factors that decrease both stress level and adverse effects of stress on either the mother and/or infant.…”

“…[21,23] However, sexual partner's support seems to mitigate chronic stress effects on maternal and neonatal outcomes. [24] Although pregnancy stress has been investigated in previous studies, it continues as a persistent problem [14,25] with few well defined solutions and interventions offered in the literature. Health care services may be the optimal first line of redress to help pregnant women suffering from the short and/or long-term consequences of maternal stress.…”

Background: Lack of appropriate social support and resultant increased maternal stress during pregnancy contributes to negative pregnancy outcomes for both mothers and the future offspring. Objective: The primary aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between social support and maternal stress during pregnancy. Methods: This descriptive-correlative study was conducted on 210 pregnant women who met inclusion criteria and attended Shahryar Social Security Hospital from August to December 2012. Participants were recruited through a purposive convenient sampling. Questionnaires about socio-economic status, the Vaux Social Support Record and pregnancy-specific stress were completed by participants. SPSS-19 and Lisrel 8.8 were used for data and path analysis. Results: There was a significant relationship between perceived social support and maternal stress (p < .05); however, support from family members and partners had the most affect. An emergent path model fitted (CF1 = 1, RMSEA = 0.00) and, accordingly, direct social support (t-value = 7.3) influenced maternal stress during pregnancy. But socio-economic status did not show significant impact. Conclusions: Since social support is a measurable and multi-dimensional factor, health managers and policy makers ought to assess, recognize and apply specific support resources for pregnant women. Our data also support the idea that empowering family members and partners to support pregnant women by involving them in prenatal care programs is important to reduce maternal stress rate.

“…[4][5][6][7] These programs often serve low-income families who are at greater risk for adverse health outcomes and infant mortality. [8][9][10][11][12][13][14] Infant mortality is a significant public health problem, with socioeconomic and racial/ethnic disparities. However, understanding the effects of EPC participation is a challenge in randomized controlled trials and other small-sample studies, as infant mortality is a rare event (6/1000 live births nationwide).…”

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate whether participation in a statewide enhanced prenatal and postnatal care program, the Maternal Infant Health Program (MIHP), reduced infant mortality risk.METHODS: Data included birth and death records, Medicaid claims, and program participation. The study population consisted of Medicaid-insured singleton infants born between January 1, 2009, and December 31, 2012, in Michigan (n = 248 059). The MIHP participants were propensity score-matched with nonparticipants based on demographics, previous pregnancies, socioeconomic status, and chronic disease. Infant mortality, neonatal mortality, and postneonatal mortality analyses were presented by race. CONCLUSIONS: A state Medicaid-sponsored population-based home-visitation program can be a successful approach to reduce mortality risk in a diverse, disadvantaged population. A likely mechanism is the reduction in the risk of adverse birth outcomes, consistent with previous findings on the effects of the program.

“…En la revisión de Lancaster et al (2010), los autores proponen seis estudios que comparan la cobertura sanitaria en un grupo de mujeres embarazadas con depresión y sin depresión (Cooklin et al, 2007;Holzman et al, 2006;Jesse, 2003;Jesse, Seaver y Wallace, 2003;Jesse et al, 2005;Nicholson et al, 2006). Cinco de estos estudios, comparaban específicamente un grupo de mujeres de EEUU con seguro privado de salud y un grupo de mujeres bajo cobertura pública (Medicaid).…”

“…Finalmente, cabe añadir que según Biaggi et al (2016) a pesar de la evidencia demostrada en cuanto al consumo de sustancias y su asociación con la depresión prenatal (Fellenzer y Cibula, 2014;Holzman et al, 2006), es necesario aumentar el número de estudios al respecto para determinar el verdadero alcance de esta condición como factor de riesgo.…”

AGRAÏMENTS També es mereixen el meu agraïment totes aquelles dones que han participat en l'estudi, pel seu interès i el seu temps, és per elles que tot l'esforç val la pena. Tan mateix, vull agrair a totes aquelles amigues i companyes de treball que s'han preocupat per mi durant aquest temps, que m'han escoltat, m'han donat suport i sempre han disculpat les meues absències. De manera molt especial, a Adri, gran amiga, que des del primer minut en què tot va començar ha estat sempre al meu costat, no només ajudant-me i ensenyant-me, si no també recolzant-me i transmetent-me la força i ànim que necessitava des de l'estima d'una bona amiga. De la mateixa manera vull agrair a la meua família, especialment a mon pare, ma mare i la meua germana Elia per tot el recolzament i tota l'estima que m'han oferit sempre en tot i cadascun dels projectes que he emprès al llarg dels anys i en particular, per a l'elaboració de la tesi, per ser pacients i comprensius amb mi. També a Draco que encara que ja no està entre nosaltres, m'ha acompanyat a tot arreu durant onze anys, per totes les hores d'estudi que ha estat al meu costat i tot l'amor MARCO TEÓRICO IntroducciónEl embarazo es un periodo de la vida de la mujer caracterizado por múltiples cambios físicos y emocionales que confluyen para favorecer la adaptación de la mujer a su nuevo rol de madre en un contexto sociocultural único. A medida que acontecen dichos cambios algunas mujeres experimentan ciertas dificultades que, en ocasiones, pueden propiciar la aparición de alteraciones emocionales de diversa importancia. De entre las alteraciones emocionales más prevalentes se encuentra la depresión. Las cifras de prevalencia de la depresión prenatal se sitúan entre el 6-20% (p.ej, Bennet et al., 2004a;Gavin et al., 2005;Shakeel et al., 2015). Estos datos sitúan la depresión prenatal como uno de los problemas de salud mental más importantes a nivel mundial por las importantes consecuencias sobre la salud de la propia mujer y el futuro bebé, tanto a corto como a largo plazo.A pesar de su alta prevalencia y relevancia, las alteraciones emocionales perinatales siguen pasando desapercibidas, infradiagnosticadas y, por tanto, no tratadas. Todavía hoy existen multitud de barreras de diferente índole que impiden que una atención integral óptima llegue a todas las mujeres que se encuentran en la etapa prenatal, y que hace que alrededor del 65% de las mujeres que sufren depresión durante el embarazo no sean diagnosticadas (Ko, Farr, Dietz y Robbins, 2012). 2La realidad sanitaria actual muestra un enfoque fundamentalmente biológico que consolida la concepción del embarazo como un hecho meramente médico, dejando al margen factores importantes de la vida de las mujeres como el trabajo, el nivel de estrés, sus experiencias previas, el estado emocional o el aprendizaje sociocultural, factores que pueden ser determinantes en la evolución del proceso de convertirse en madre.Una perspectiva que incluya la valoración del estado emocional de las mujeres durante su embarazo, así como los aspectos so...
