“…The Portuguese version of the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale, a self-report questionnaire composed of 10 items in a Likert scale of 4 points (0 -3), was used to assess depressive symptomatology. This questionnaire has been used in several studies with pregnant and postpartum women (e.g., Da Costa, Larouche, Dritsa, & Brender, 2000;Eberhard-Gran, Tambs, Opjordsmoen, Skrondal, & Eskild, 2004), including use in Portugal (Areias, Kumar, Barros, & Figueiredo, Teenage pregnancy1996a, 1996bAugusto et al, 1996;Figueiredo, 1997). Although this instrument does not assure a clinical diagnosis of depression, a score higher than 13 indicates the probable presence of a major depressive episode (Augusto et al, 1996).…”

The aim of this Portuguese study is to compare the experience of pregnancy in teenage years and later adulthood and to examine insecure attachment style as a risk factor for depression during pregnancy. The Attachment Style Interview (ASI; Bifulco, Moran, Ball, & Bernazzani, 2002) and the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS; Cox, Holden, & Sagovsky, 1987) were administered to 66 pregnant adolescents and 64 adult women. Pregnant teenagers were found to be nearly three times more likely to have an insecure attachment style of Enmeshed, Angry-Dismissive, or Fearful style than adults, all at high levels of impairment (54% vs.19%, p 5 .02). Logistic regression showed, when all risk factors were entered, highly Enmeshed style and poor partner support provided the best model for depression with age at pregnancy no longer adding. Insecure attachment style should be addressed in prevention and intervention strategies with teenage mothers.

“…En la literatura internacional, la mayoría de los estudios publicados hasta le fecha han utilizado como principal instrumento la Escala de Edimburgo para Depresión Posparto (EDPE), la cual ha sido validada sólo en algunos países como Australia y Portugal para población masculina 29,30 . Además de existir entonces la limitación de la validez de los resultados, existen estudios cualitativos que señalan que la sintomatología depresiva masculina tendría ciertas especificidades, las que no son pesquisadas por este instrumento.…”

ResumenLa supervisión de salud es una oportunidad privilegiada para acompañar a las nuevas familias en su transición a la parentalidad. Este período trae importantes desafíos para la madre y el padre, y en ocasiones la demanda puede superar los recursos emocionales de la familia; este desbalance puede favorecer que madres y padres presenten sintomatología depresiva. La depresión posparto puede afectar de uno a dos de cada diez hombres, siendo la depresión materna un factor de riesgo importante para desarrollarla. La depresión posparto en el padre impacta a todos los miembros de la familia, siendo el desarrollo infantil, el vínculo y la salud mental del niño los que pueden verse alteradas a corto, mediano y largo plazo. Parece relevante por lo tanto pensar en un tamizaje para pesquisar precozmente la depresión posparto no sólo en madres sino también en padres y dar así un primer paso a ampliar la mirada desde la diada madre-hijo a la triada. El control de salud del niño es una oportunidad única para poder realizar esta pesquisa, sin embargo la validación de una escala de tamizaje de depresión posparto en padres chilenos es una tarea pendiente. Keywords:Paternal postpartum depression, assessment, Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale AbstractHealth supervision is a privileged opportunity to walk along with the new families during their transition to parenthood. This period is challenging for both mother and father, and there is the potential danger that demand surpasses the existing resources of the family. This imbalance may lead to mothers and fathers to develop depressive symptomatology. Postpartum depression may affect one to two out of ten men, and maternal depression is a major risk factor for developing it. The postpartum depression in the father impact all the family members, being the child development, the bonding, and the child´s mental health which can be disturb at a short, medium and long term. Therefore, it seems to be relevant to think about screening for post partum depression not only in mothers but also fathers, and give a first step to broaden the gaze from the dyad to the triad. The health supervision is a unique opportunity to be able to carry out this screening; however, the validation of a postpartum screening test for Chilean fathers is a pending task.
