Abstract
Study Objective
To determine the relationship between severity of nausea and vomiting during pregnancy
(NVP) and depressive symptoms in pregnant adolescents.
Design
Prospective cross-sectional study.
Setting
A maternity research hospital outpatient clinic, Ankara, Turkey.
Participants
A total of 200 pregnant adolescents.
Interventions and Main Outcome Measures
Demographic features and obstetric histories of the participants were assessed. The
Rhodes test was performed to determine nausea and vomiting severity in a face-to-face
interview, and the self-reported Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale was administered
with supervision.
Results
The Rhodes test results showed that 52/200 patients (26%) were classified with none,
83/200 patients (41.5%) with mild, 48/200 patients (24.0%) with moderate, and 17/200
patients (8.5%) with severe symptoms. The mean depression score in the severe vomiting
group was significantly higher than that in the no NVP and mild NVP groups (P = .028 and .041, respectively). No differences were found between the other groups.
Conclusion
Severe nausea and vomiting was associated with greater depressive symptom severity
in pregnant adolescents.
