A gravidez pode constituir um risco para o desenvolvimento de morbilidade psicológica na mulher. Este estudo avaliou a relação entre perceção de intimidade relacional, satisfação conjugal, preocupações sentidas durante a gravidez, e morbilidade psicológica, e analisou os preditores de morbilidade psicológica numa amostra de 200 mulheres grávidas. Os resultados revelaram que as grávidas multíparas possuem maior ansiedade que as primíparas e que maiores preocupações associam-se a maior morbilidade psicológica, e maior perceção de intimidade relacional e satisfação conjugal, a menor morbilidade psicológica. Adicionalmente, verificou-se que a ansiedade é predita pela idade (ser jovem), historial passado de psicopatologia e preocupações, com o modelo a explicar 19.8% da variância. A depressão é predita pela idade (ser jovem), perceção de intimidade relacional (negativa), historial passado de psicopatologia, e preocupações, com o modelo a explicar 14.8% da variância. O stress é predito pela idade (ser jovem), planeamento da gravidez (menor), historial passado de psicopatologia, e preocupações, com o modelo a explicar 19.3% da variância. Verificou-se também maior perceção de intimidade relacional e satisfação conjugal, e menor morbilidade psicológica nas grávidas que possuíam uma gravidez planeada. A perceção de intimidade relacional relacionou-se positivamente com a satisfação conjugal e negativamente com as preocupações. Os resultados revelam a necessidade de avaliar e de implementar programas de intervenção ao nível da saúde mental na mulher grávida.
Pregnancy can be a risk for the development of psychological morbidity in women. This study assessed the relationship between perception of relational intimacy, marital satisfaction, concerns experienced during pregnancy, and psychological morbidity, and analyzed the predictors of psychological morbidity in a sample of 200 pregnant women. The results revealed that multiparous pregnant women have higher anxiety than primiparous and that higher concerns are associated with more psychological morbidity, and better perception of relational intimacy and marital satisfaction with less psychological morbidity. Additionally, we found that anxiety is predicted by age (being younger), past history of psychopathology and concerns, with the model explaining 19.8% of the variance. Depression is predicted by age (being younger), perception of relational intimacy (negative), past history of psychopathology, and concerns, with the model explaining 14.8% of the variance. The stress is predicted by age (being younger), pregnancy planning (less), past history of psychopathology, and concerns, with the model to explain 19.3% of the variance. Furthermore, we found better perception of relational intimacy and marital satisfaction, and lesser psychological morbidity in pregnant women who had a planned pregnancy. Perception of relational intimacy displayed a positive relationship with marital satisfaction and a negative relationship with concerns. The results revealed the need to assess and implement intervention programs at the mental health level in pregnant woman.
