Prevalence and risk factors for symptoms of common mental disorders in early and late pregnancy in Vietnamese women: A prospective population-based study

Factors associated with the probability of common mental disorders in pregnant women: a cross-sectional study

“…7 Low socioeconomic conditions were found in other studies, always indicating the risk of development of CMD. 3,6,7,13 However, in the present study, there was a negative association between the outcome of CMD and pregnant women with better socioeconomic conditions in the crude PR, although this did not occur in the adjusted PR.…”

“…However, when present, they were associated with economic difficulties and intimate partner violence. 3 The persistence of CMD symptoms during the pregnancy cycle was associated with aggressive behavior in the family arrangement, partner with a previous and current history of extramarital relationships or alcohol abuse. 3 In summary, concern about one's health, well-being and/ or the development of one's children, personal history of abortions or stillbirth, child abuse, economic difficulties in life, intimate partner violence and adversities in life are situations that predispose one to CMD during pregnancy.…”

“…3 The persistence of CMD symptoms during the pregnancy cycle was associated with aggressive behavior in the family arrangement, partner with a previous and current history of extramarital relationships or alcohol abuse. 3 In summary, concern about one's health, well-being and/ or the development of one's children, personal history of abortions or stillbirth, child abuse, economic difficulties in life, intimate partner violence and adversities in life are situations that predispose one to CMD during pregnancy. 3 Although the present (9) has felt sad lately (43.5%); (10) has cried more than usual (52.3%); (11) finds it difficult to perform daily activities satisfactorily (43.2%); (12) finds it difficult to make decisions (27.7 %); (13) study did not investigate violence, it should be emphasized that there is scientific evidence indicating that this phenomenon is associated with CMD, especially intimate partner violence.…”
