    (2023) Francieli Ribeiro Freitas Mello; Aline Groff Vivian; Maria Isabel Morgan Martins
    Common mental disorders may be present during high-risk gestation.The aim of this study was to investigate which common mental disorders are more prevalent in high-risk pregnant women treated in a hospital in southern Brazil.For this, researchers conducted a descriptive quantitative study.A total of 37 pregnant women responded to a sociodemographic data sheet, the Self-Reporting Questionnaire (SRQ-20), in addition to the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), and the Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI).Single and divorced women were 2.42 times more likely to have moderate/severe anxiety and 28 times more likely to have moderate/severe depression.Pregnant women who used alcohol were more likely to develop depression when compared to those who did not use it.Health-promoting interventions were needed to offer emotional support, in addition to adequate treatments for high-risk pregnant women.
