Depresión post parto en mujeres desde un criterio biopsicosocial

Abstract

The research addresses postpartum depression, its prevalence, and risk factors. This work aims to describe postpartum depression in women from a biopsychosocial perspective. The study is a systematic review; its protocol was based on the PRISMA methodology. It has a qualitative approach, reviewing 34 scientific articles published in repositories such as Web of Science, PubMed, Scopus, and SciELO. The research results identified social risk factors, including age, socioeconomic level, education level, region of origin, and occupation. Psychological factors like depressive history, anxiety, sadness, suicidal ideation, and guilt related to postpartum depression were also found. Additionally, this disorder's variable prevalence depends on the conditions of the research population. In conclusion, the prevalence and biopsychosocial factors characteristic of postpartum depression vary with the sample size and in combination with the different psychosocial conditions that mothers face before, during, and after pregnancy.
