Objetivo: identificar sinais precoces de alterações e/ou transtornos mentais em puérperas para promoção do autocuidado. Método: a população estudada foram puérperas atendidas na unidade básica de saúde. Resultados: as puérperas participantes enquadram-se como mulheres em idade reprodutiva, classificadas como mães adolescentes e mães adultas jovens. São mulheres que reconhecem a necessidade da prática do autocuidado, mas que possuem alguns entraves ligados às mais diferentes realidades e cotidiano em que estas estão inseridas, tornando fatores de risco para transtornos/alterações mentais durante o ciclo gravídico-puerperal. Conclusão: a efetivação da assistência integral à saúde das mulheres, ocorridas durante o pré-natal, parto e nascimento, são condições essenciais para a prevenção de transtornos e doenças mentais ocorridos numa fase tão ímpar que é o período puerperal

Objective: to identify early signs of changes and/or mental disorders in postpartum women to promote self-care. Method: the population studied were postpartum women treated at the basic health unit. Results: the participating puerperal women are classified as women of reproductive age, classified as adolescent mothers and young adult mothers. These are women who recognize the need to practice self-care, but who have some obstacles linked to the most different realities and daily life in which they are inserted, making them risk factors for mental disorders/changes during the pregnancy-puerperal cycle. Conclusion: the effectiveness of comprehensive care for women's health, which occurs during prenatal care, childbirth and birth, are essential conditions for the prevention of disorders and mental illnesses that occur in such a unique phase that is the puerperal period

Se trata de mujeres que reconocen la necesidad de practicar el autocuidado, pero que tienen algunos obstáculos ligados a las más diversas realidades y al cotidiano en que están insertas, convirtiéndolas en factores de riesgo para trastornos/alteraciones mentales durante el ciclo embarazo-puerperio. Conclusión: la eficacia de la atención integral a la salud de la mujer, que se da durante la atención prenatal, el parto y el parto, son condiciones indispensables para la prevención de los trastornos y enfermedades mentales que se dan en una fase tan singular que es el puerperio

The use of biofeedback intervention in the improvement of depression levels: a randomised trial.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the use of biofeedback intervention in the levels of depression. The main hypothesis tested if the use of biofeedback improves depression levels compared to the control group. METHODS: A randomised clinical trial. The final sample was composed of 36 participants (18 in the experimental group, receiving 6 training, once a week, with biofeedback; and 18 in the control group, who received conventional treatment in the service).Outcome measures were assessed in two stages: pre-test and post-test. The research used the following instruments: demographic survey data, Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview 5.0.0 and Beck Depression Inventory (BDI). The factors and variables were presented in terms of descriptive and inferential statistics. Fisher's exact test (p < 0.05) was used to verify the existence of an association between the counting variables. The multinomial logistic regression model was adopted, and the Logit link function was used, as the software RStudio version 3.6.2. RESULTS: The factors that remained in the final model were group, sex, partner, atypical antidepressant, benzodiazepines, mood stabiliser, antiepileptic and antihistamine, according to the levels of depression based on the BDI. The group that did not receive biofeedback intervention had 16 times more chances of increasing the depression levels compared to participants in the experimental group. CONCLUSION: The use of biofeedback reduces depression, thus, representing a complementary alternative for the treatment of moderate and severe depression, and dysthymia.
