Objective: To determine the influence of a brief stress reduction program in health workers of the National Maternal and Perinatal Institute during the COVID-19 pandemic. Materials and Methods: This research corresponds to a quasi-experimental study, which consist of the elaboration and application of a brief stress reduction program in workers of the Puericulture area of the INMP. The population consisted of 45 workers, 30 of whom complied with the inclusion criteria for the pilot study, from which a sample of 15 participants was distributed, by convenience, for the experimental group and 15 for the control group. The Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale (Dass21) was applied at the beginning of the investigation and after concluding the program. The analysis of frequencies and percentages of the variable, analysis of adjusted goodness of fit to the normal curve, and Student's t-tests fo...

Introduction: Hypertensive disorders during pregnancy affect both the physical and psychological health of patients, potentially influencing their post-traumatic growth. Objective: To evaluate an explanatory model that relates post-traumatic growth to anxiety, emotion-focused coping strategies, and irrational beliefs in patients with preeclampsia and hypertension. Methods: A cross sectional, explanatory correlational study conducted with 351 women treated at the National Maternal Perinatal Institute in 2023. The Post-Traumatic Growth Scale, Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale (GAD-7), Brief Irrational Beliefs Questionnaire, and Reduced Coping Strategies Inventory (CSI-COPE) were applied. A structural equation model was used to analyze the relationship between variables. Results: The mean age was 30.01 years. The best-fitting model (Chi²=347.043; DF=292; p<0.015; CFI=0.961; TLI=0.957; ...

Introducción: Los trastornos hipertensivos en el embarazo afectan la salud física y psicológica de las pacientes, pudiendo influir en su crecimiento postraumático. Objetivo: Evaluar un modelo explicativo que relaciona el crecimiento postraumático con la ansiedad, las estrategias de afrontamiento enfocadas en la emoción y las ideas irracionales en pacientes con preeclampsia e hipertensión. Métodos: Estudio correlacional explicativo y transversal realizado con 351 mujeres atendidas en el Instituto Nacional Materno Perinatal durante 2023. Se aplicaron la Escala de Crecimiento Postraumático, la Escala de Ansiedad Generalizada (GAD-7), el Cuestionario Breve de Ideas Irracionales y la Escala Reducida de Afrontamiento al Estrés (CSI-COPE). Se utilizó un modelo de ecuaciones estructurales para analizar la relación entre variables. Resultados: La media de edad fue de 30,01 años. El m...

Objective: To determine the factors associated with hyperemesis gravidarum and acute stress reaction in pregnant women with hyperemesis gravidarum hospitalized at the National Maternal Perinatal Institute during 2021. Materials and Methods: This research corresponds to an analytical, observational, case-control study, where the medical records of pregnant patients hospitalized for hyperemesis gravidarum attended by the psychology service who presented an acute stress reaction meeting the inclusion and exclusion criteria were collected. An analysis of frequencies and percentages of the different variables and a multivariate analysis were performed to find the significant factors (p<0.05) and the calculation of the Odds Ratio (OR) with a confidence level of 95%; this model was evaluated using multiple logistic regression. Results: A relationship was found between pregnancy planning (p&l...

Objective. To describe the psychological, social and gynecological characteristics of patients with gestational loss seen at the Instituto Nacional Materno Perinatal (2022). Materials and Methods. This research corresponds to a retrospective descriptive observational study, in which 176 clinical histories of patients with gestational losses during the year 2022 attended by the psychology service who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria were collected. An analysis of frequencies and percentages of the different variables was performed in order to meet the research objectives. Results. The average age of the patients was 30 years (min: 18 years and max: 46 years), with a mean of 2.64 gestations in the sample, a minimum of 0 and a maximum of 4 gestational losses. Fetal death (65.34%) was the most frequent diagnosis of fetal death. All the patients presented a psychological disorder, wit...
