Abstract

Objective: To study depression and anxiety in pregnant adolescents. Methods: This research is a cross-sectional study in which the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) was used to evaluate the level of anxiety and depression among patients. The Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), which aims to measure the presence and severity of depression among patients, was also applied. For purposes of analysis, the participants were divided into two groups: precocious adolescents (12 to 15 years of age) and late adolescents (16 to 19 years of age). The difference between the means observed between the groups was analyzed using Student’s t test. A value of p < 0.05 was considered significant. Results: The mean BDI score among the 26 precocious adolescents was 24.0, whereas among the 61 late adolescents, the same score presented a mean of 15.7 (p=0.005). In relation to depression, according to the HADS, the precocious pregnant adolescents obtained an average of 8.8 (possible depression), whereas the late pregnant adolescents presented an average of 6.9 (unlikely depression) (p=0.005). Conclusion: Depression was more intense among precocious adolescents than among late adolescents. There was no significant difference in the intensity of anxiety, assessed by the HADS, between precocious and late adolescents.

怀孕青少年的抑郁和焦虑

目的:探讨怀孕少女的抑郁和焦虑状况。方法:本研究采用医院焦虑抑郁量表(HADS)评估患者焦虑抑郁水平的横断面研究。贝克抑郁量表(BDI)，旨在衡量患者抑郁的存在和严重程度，也被应用。为了分析的目的，参与者被分为两组:早熟青少年(12至15岁)和晚期青少年(16至19岁)。采用Student 's t检验分析各组间均值的差异。p < 0.05被认为是显著的。结果:26例早熟青少年BDI平均为24.0分，61例晚发青少年BDI平均为15.7分(p=0.005)。在抑郁症方面，根据HADS，早孕少女的平均得分为8.8(可能是抑郁症)，而晚孕少女的平均得分为6.9(不太可能是抑郁症)(p=0.005)。结论:早熟青少年的抑郁程度高于晚青少年。由HADS评估的焦虑强度在早熟和晚期青少年之间没有显著差异。

期刊介绍： For many diseases, women’s physiology and life-cycle hormonal changes demand important consideration when determining healthcare management options. Age- and gender-related factors can directly affect treatment outcomes, and differences between the clinical management of, say, an adolescent female and that in a pre- or postmenopausal patient may be either subtle or profound. At the same time, there are certain conditions that are far more prevalent in women than men, and these may require special attention. Furthermore, in an increasingly aged population in which women demonstrate a greater life-expectancy.
