ARA?JO, Neuraci Gonšalves de  e  CERQUEIRA-SANTOS, Elder. Psychological prenatal in the prevention of perinatal depression and anxiety. Rev. SPAGESP [online]. 2022, vol.23, n.2, pp. 90-112. ISSN 1677-2970.  http://dx.doi.org/https://doi.org/10.32467/issn.2175-3628v23n2a7.

This study aimed to investigate the effects of the implementation of a psychological prenatal program (PROM+E) on the prevention of depressive and anxious symptoms in 60 pregnant women who attended public or private obstetric services, aged between 18 and 44 years old (M = 28,77; DP = 7,18), allocated in two groups: intervention (n = 27) and control (n = 33). The first group participated in nine weekly group meetings, as well as a home visit at the beginning of the postpartum period. In the intergroup comparison, the PROM+E participants had a significant reduction in anxious and depressive symptoms compared to the control group at 30 days of puerperium. In the intragroup comparison, in the PROM+E these symptoms decreased with time, with significance at 30 and 90 days postpartum.
