Abstract

Aims/background: This research aimed to identify the sources of social support and its relationship with perinatal depression (PPD) during the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.

Design/methods: We carried out a cross-sectional study with a sample of 3,356 women during perinatal period living in Spain. We used five items from the Spanish version of the Coronavirus Perinatal Experiences - Impact Survey to assess the impact of COVID-19 on social support and, the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale was used to assess depressive symptomatology.

Results: The results obtained identified a possible relationship between seeking in-person support (OR = 0.51; 0.67, during pregnancy and after delivery respectively) and degree of feeling social support (OR = 0.77; 0.77) during the COVID-19 pandemic with a lower prevalence of depression. Otherwise, requiring the help of a mental health professional (OR = 2.92; 2.41) and weeks of confinement (OR = 1.03; 1.01) appeared to be associated with a higher prevalence of depression. During pregnancy, a possible association was found between the degree of concern about future changes in support and involvement of family and friends (OR = 1.75) with a higher prevalence of depression. On the other hand, in the postpartum period, there seems to be a relationship between seeking social support through social media (OR = 1.32) with a higher prevalence of depression and receiving support from friends (OR = 0.70) and health professionals (OR = 0.53) with a lower prevalence of depression.

Conclusion: These results highlighted the importance of protecting perinatal mental health during the COVID-19 pandemic by protecting and developing social support networks.

COVID-19大流行期间社会支持与围产期抑郁的关系
目的/背景:本研究旨在确定冠状病毒(COVID-19)大流行期间社会支持的来源及其与围产期抑郁症(PPD)的关系。设计/方法:我们对居住在西班牙的3,356名围产期妇女进行了横断面研究。我们使用了西班牙语版冠状病毒围产期经历-影响调查中的五个项目来评估COVID-19对社会支持的影响,并使用爱丁堡产后抑郁量表来评估抑郁症状。结果:获得的结果确定了寻求面对面支持之间的可能关系(OR = 0.51;0.67,分别为孕期和产后)和感觉社会支持程度(OR = 0.77;0.77),抑郁症患病率较低。否则,需要心理健康专业人员的帮助(OR = 2.92;2.41)和坐月子周数(OR = 1.03;1.01)似乎与更高的抑郁症患病率有关。在怀孕期间,对未来支持变化的担忧程度以及家人和朋友的参与程度(OR = 1.75)与抑郁症的高患病率之间可能存在关联。另一方面,在产后期间,通过社交媒体寻求社会支持(OR = 1.32)与抑郁患病率较高,获得朋友支持(OR = 0.70)和卫生专业人员支持(OR = 0.53)与抑郁患病率较低之间似乎存在关系。结论:这些结果突出了在COVID-19大流行期间通过保护和发展社会支持网络保护围产期心理健康的重要性。
