Religiosidade, regulação emocional e sintomatologia depressiva no pósparto

Abstract

ABSTRACT: Postpartum depression (PPD) is a prevalent condition, affecting between 10% to 20% of women, and is distinguished from "baby blues" by its severity and prolonged duration. PPD impairs the mother's ability to care for herself and her newborn, and it can also have a negative impact on infant development (O'Hara & McCabe, 2013; Tainaka et al., 2022). The etiology of PPD involves a complex interaction of biological, psychological, and social factors, with particular emphasis on the influence of religiosity, emotional regulation, and social support. The main objective of this study was to examine the relationship between religiosity, emotional regulation, social support, and PPD symptoms. Specifically, it sought to assess: (1) whether there is a direct relationship between religiosity and PPD; and (2) whether emotional regulation and social support mediate this relationship. A cross-sectional study was conducted with a sample of 160 women in the postpartum period, ranging from 1 to 12 months after childbirth. A questionnaire was used, comprising scales that assess religiosity, emotional regulation, social support, and postpartum depression symptoms. The results did not show a significant correlation between religiosity and PPD. However, both social support and emotional regulation were significantly associated with PPD symptoms. Additionally, it was found that social support significantly mediated the relationship between intrinsic religiosity and PPD, suggesting that religiosity may enhance the perception of social support, contributing to a reduction in PPD symptoms.

A depressão pós-parto (DPP) é uma condição prevalente, afetando entre 10% a 20% das mulheres, distinguindo-se dos "baby blues" pela sua gravidade e duração prolongada. A DPP compromete a capacidade da mãe de cuidar de si própria e do recém-nascido, podendo também ter um impacto negativo no desenvolvimento infantil (O'Hara & McCabe, 2013; Tainaka et al., 2022). A etiologia da DPP envolve uma interação complexa de fatores biológicos, psicológicos e sociais. Neste estudo explora-se o papel da religiosidade, da regulação emocional e do apoio social. Mais especificamente, procurou-se avaliar: (1) se existe uma relação direta entre a religiosidade e a DPP; e (2) se a regulação emocional e o apoio social mediam essa relação. Elaborou-se um estudo transversal com uma amostra de 160 mulheres no período pós-parto, com um intervalo de 1 a 12 meses após o nascimento. Utilizou-se um questionário composto por escalas que avaliam a religiosidade, a regulação emocional, o apoio social e os sintomas de depressão pós-parto. Os resultados não evidenciaram uma correlação significativa entre religiosidade e DPP. No entanto, verificou-se que tanto o apoio social como a regulação emocional estavam significativamente associados aos sintomas de DPP. Adicionalmente, constatou-se que o apoio social funcionou como mediador significativo na relação entre a religiosidade intrínseca e a DPP, sugerindo que a religiosidade pode potenciar a perceção de apoio social, contribuindo para a redução dos sintomas de DPP
