ABSTRACT
Introduction: depression at birth is a common cause of admission to neonatal intensive care.Objective: to identify the factors influencing neonatal depression.
Methods: a descriptive, longitudinal, retrospective study was conducted at “Alberto Fernández Valdés” Teaching Hospital during the years 2003 to 2012, in the municipality of Santa Cruz del Norte. The universe was 124 newborns with Apgar at 1 minute less than 7 and a sample of 92 randomly selected cases. Data were collected using a form for the analysis of the study variables and it frequency distribution, arithmetic mean, standard deviation and percentage summary measures were used.
Results: depression at birth was more frequent in children of mothers over 35 years (43.48 %), white (42.39 %) and antecedents of arterial hypertension and tobaccoism in 25 % and 18.48 % respectively; cord loops (45.65 %), preeclampsia (25 %) and premature rupture of membranes (14.13 %) were the pregnancy conditions of pregnancy most frequently presented; full term birth was the most represented (57.61 %) and C-section the most frequent delivery via (44.57 %); most depressed newborns were male (57.61 %) and with normal weight at birth (46.74 %).
Conclusions: there are multiple factors that might influence on depression at birth, many of which are susceptible of being altered or controlled from the primary health care.
