Objective. Decide the association between the support of the couple and depression in pregnant women of the third trimester of pregnancy attending to the National Maternal and Perinatal Institute in the months of June and July of 2017. Methodology. Observational, analytical study of cases and controls, prospective and cross-sectional, in which there were two groups: 45 pregnant women with depression (case group) and 45 pregnant women without depression (control group), who met the selection criteria. The inferential statistic was used by Pearson's chi-squared test (X2), which was considered significant when the value of p is less than 0,05. Results. It was found association between emotional support (p = 0,000), instrumental support (p = 0,001), informational support (p = 0,000) and evaluative support (p = 0,000) with the presence of depression in pregnant women. At a general level, lack...

Objective. To analyse the factors associated with the initiation of early breastfeeding of the National Mother Teaching Hospital "San Bartolomé", September to October 2017. Material and Methods. Observational, analytical, retrospective and cross-sectional study. We surveyed 191 women cases who started early and 191 controls. Regarding the analysis of the data, absolute and relative frequencies were estimated for the qualitative variables, and in the case of the quantitative variables, means and standard desviation were estimated; to find the association, the Chi-square test was used and Odds Ratio test. Results. Sociocultural factors, an association was found for student occupation, non-deformity of the breasts due to breastfeeding, the use of infusions to strengthen the stomach) with the on set of breastfeeding. Institutional results, an association was found between receiving informat...
