Background: Depressive symptoms during pregnancy are an important concern, particularly among women with high-risk pregnancies.
Objectives: To determine the prevalence of depressive symptoms and identify associated factors among high-risk pregnant women at Hue University of Medicine and Pharmacy Hospital.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 257 high-risk pregnant women at Hue University of Medicine and Pharmacy Hospital. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire and the Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II). Depressive symptoms were defined as a BDI-II score of ≥ 14. Univariable and multivariable logistic regression analyses were performed to identify associated factors.
Results: Among the 257 participants, 65 participants (25.3%; 95% CI: 20.4 – 30.9%) had BDI-II scores of ≥ 14. Regarding symptom severity, 39 participants (15.2%) had mild symptoms, 17 (6.6%) had moderate symptoms, and 9 (3.5%) had severe symptoms. Occasional or frequent disagreements with a husband/ partner were associated with higher odds of depressive symptoms (aOR = 4.70; 95% CI: 2.27 – 9.86; p < 0.001). A history of psychological problems before pregnancy was also associated with higher odds (aOR = 5.52; 95% CI: 1.23 – 26.13; p = 0.025). Conversely, a monthly household income of ≥ 5 million VND was associated with lower odds (aOR = 0.40; 95% CI: 0.16 – 0.99; p = 0.045).
Conclusion: Depressive symptoms were prevalent among high-risk pregnant women. Marital disagreements, a history of psychological problems, and household income were independently associated with depressive symptoms. Integrating mental health screening and appropriate psychosocial support into antenatal care may help address the needs of this population.
