Abstract

The aim of this study was to identify signs of
stress in puerperal women arising from the coping process
of gestation of a fetus with a congenital anomaly. This was
a cross-sectional study developed at the fetal medicine
outpatient clinic of the Federal University of São Paulo
between January and April 2014. Two data collection
instruments were used for this study: a questionnaire
on sociodemographic identification and reproductive
history, and the Revised Impact of Event Scale, which
were applied to 24 puerperal women. Signs of stress were
identified in 62.5% of the study subjects; of these, 41.7%
gestated a non-viable fetus. In regard to the gestational
period of diagnosis of the fetus, 75% of the women
received diagnosis in the second trimester of pregnancy,
and of the total number of subjects, 37.5% presented high
likelihood of having post-traumatic stress disorder. Thus,
early diagnosis enables higher quality care to pregnant
women/couples/families, thereby encouraging postpartum
development with less stress.
