Abstract

Objective: to identify the risk factors of depression perceived by women during their pregnancy. Method: this is a cross-sectional and descriptive study with a qualitative approach carried out from January 12 to 27, 2017. Fifteen pregnant women participated through four focus groups promoted in the high-risk pregnancy clinic of a public university hospital. For data collection, focus groups
were recorded in audio and later transcribed, following a script with questions regarding socioeconomic and obstetric data and five open questions related to the perception of the pregnant women about risk factors for the development of depression. Data analysis took place according to Bardin's thematic content analysis and met the consolidated criteria for qualitative research reports. Results: the statements of the pregnant women identified 10 risk factors for depression during their pregnancy. We distributed this data into socioeconomic risk factors;
psychic; obstetric/maternal factors; and psychosocial factors. They can contribute to future studies in the line of knowledge, for the qualification of prenatal care and the promotion of mental health of pregnant women and the improvement of Nursing practices, benefiting the
profession. Conclusion: according to the perception of pregnant women, multiple risk factors contribute to the development of depression during their pregnancy. The identified risk factors contributed to the elaboration of the risk scale for depression in pregnancy and may support the planning of prevention and early diagnosis actions and the promotion of the mental health of pregnant women.
