Antenatal Depression as a Stunting Risk Factor: A Systematic Review
DOI:
https://doi.org/10.3889/oamjms.2022.8501Keywords:
Antenatal depression, Depression during pregnancy, Prenatal depression, StuntingAbstract
BACKGROUND: Depression during pregnancy is often found and ignored even though depression has a negative impact not only on the mother but also on the fetus to adulthood. Stunting is a problem of lack of nutritional status that begins during pregnancy.
AIM: The purpose of this article is to systematically identify the description and relationship between depression during pregnancy and stunting in children.
METHOD: The approach used is the systematic review method to search articles. Articles were identified from 2010-2020 by conducting a literature search with the keywords "antenatal depression" OR "prenatal depression" OR "depression during pregnancy" and "stunting" in the electronic databases dataset by Sciencedirect, Pubmed Research Gate, and Google Scholar.
RESULTS: The search results found 1875 articles selected into 20 journal articles that match the inclusion criteria. CONCLUSION: The results found that depression during pregnancy correlated with risk factors for stunting. As a preventive measure, health workers, especially midwives, can provide psychological care in antenatal care by considering these factors.
