Abstract EN
Objective.
To evaluate the prevalence of nonsevere maternal morbidity (including overall health, domestic and sexual violence, functionality, and mental health) in women during antenatal care and further analyze factors associated with compromised mental functioning and clinical health by administration of the WHO’s WOICE 2.0 instrument.
Method.
A cross-sectional study was conducted at a referral center in Brazil with an interview and questionnaire administered to pregnant women at 28 weeks of gestation and beyond.
Data collection and management were supported by REDCAP software.
A descriptive analysis was performed, and a multiple regression analysis also investigated factors associated with impairment in mental conditions, functionality, and clinical health.
Results.
533 women at a mean age of 28.9 years (±6.7) were included, and the majority had a partner (77.1%) and secondary education (67.7%).
Exposure to violence occurred in 6.8%, and 12.7% reported substance use.
Sexual satisfaction was reported by the vast majority (91.7%), although almost one-fifth were sexually abstinent.
Overall, women reported very good and good health (72%), despite being told that they had a medical condition (66%).
There was an overall rate of anxiety in 29.9%, depression in 39.5%, and impaired functioning in 20.4%.
The perception of an abnormal clinical condition was the only factor independently associated with impaired functioning and mental health in the multiple regression model.
Obesity was independently associated with clinical impairment.
Conclusion.
During antenatal care, pregnant women in the study reported having a high rate of anxiety, depression, impaired functioning, and substance use.
These issues can affect a woman’s health and should be further addressed for specific interventions and improved quality of care.
