YEGUEZ-MARIN, Francisco; GARCIA DE Y, Marisol  e  DELVALLE, Gil. Depression in pregnant women in the second trimester of gestation and its impact on blood pressure. Salus [online]. 2013, vol.17, n.1, pp.12-17. ISSN 1316-7138.

Hypertensive pregnancy disease is a complex multifactorial pathology which leads to elevated fetal and maternal morbidity. The objective was to determine the variation in values of blood pressure with the states of humor through the Center Epidemiology Scale Depression (CES-D) test and its association with socio-economic and demographic variables. Prior informed consent, a transversal and descriptive-correlational study was conducted in 168 pregnant women during the second trimester of pregnancy. 50% of pregnant in layer IV of Graffar Méndez-Castellano (Graffar M-C) presented depressing state. The incidence of depression was 40.9% in pregnant with male fetuses and in female fetuses was 25%. The values of systolic (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) were higher in pregnant women with age ≥ 35 years. The DBP was significantly higher in pregnant women without partners, there was no significance to the SBP. The DBP was higher in the stratum IV Graffar M-C and the SBP in the stratum II. Pregnant with female fetuses had SP significantly larger than the male fetuses. There was a negative and significant low correlation between the values of SBP and SBP with the score of the CES-D test. The set of variables to consider in relation to disorders hypertensive during pregnancy would be the maternal age, marital status, the Graffar M-C stratum and fetal sex.
