Resumo
This study characterises trace and state of anxiety and presence of depressive symptoms in pregnant women during the gestational period, as well as their sociodemographic and gynaecological-obstetric aspects. It includes a sample of 255 expectant mothers who followed the antenatal care at 9 health centres of Serra city (Espirito Santo state), from the 3rd of October 2005 to the 22nd of February 2006. The study also verifies the relation between trace and state of anxiety and presence of depressive symptoms with the following variables: age, level of schooling, occupation, marital status, social support, social class, parity, type of labour, smoking, life-style, pregnancy planning, pregnancy complications, gestational trimester, trace of anxiety, state of anxiety and depressive symptoms. Data was collected through interviews and registered on forms. It was also used a selfevaluation scale, the STATE TRAIT ANXIETY INVENTORY (IDATE) and the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS). The statistical treatment used was the SPSS version 14 (2006). It was concluded that the bigger the trace of anxiety, the bigger the state of anxiety; the bigger the level of anxiety, the bigger the depressive symptoms during pregnancy. It was also found that being married, having social support and a planned pregnancy help to prevent depressive symptoms. No significant differences were found between the level of anxiety and depressive symptoms during the first, second and third trimester of gestational period. There was no correlation between the other variables and level of anxiety and depressive symptoms. There was correlation between smoking and alcohol consumption with depressive symptoms during pregnancy.
