Antenatal depression and its relationship with problem-solving strategies, childhood abuse, social support, and attachment styles in a low-income Chilean sample

A non-experimental, cross-sectional study was performed. A group of 96 pregnant Chilean women with low income and depression were contacted through Public Health Centers. The association between depressive symptoms (BDI≥10) and other variables was analyzed. Low social support satisfaction (SSQ-6), high scores for negative orientation towards problems, childhood physical abuse, insecure attachment and recurrent depression were relevant variables for predicting depressive symptoms in the studied group.
