Study Objective: To determine the relationship between severity of nausea and vomiting during pregnancy (NVP) and depressive symptoms in pregnant adolescents.
Design: Prospective cross-sectional study.
Setting: A maternity research hospital outpatient clinic, Ankara, Turkey.
Participants: A total of 200 pregnant adolescents.
Interventions and Main Outcome Measures: Demographic features and obstetric histories of the participants were assessed. The Rhodes test was performed to determine nausea and vomiting severity in a face-to-face interview, and the self-reported Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale was administered with supervision.
Results: The Rhodes test results showed that 52/200 patients (26%) were classified with none, 83/200 patients (41.5%) with mild, 48/200 patients (24.0%) with moderate, and 17/200 patients (8.5%) with severe symptoms. The mean depression score in the severe vomiting group was significantly higher than that in the no NVP and mild NVP groups (P = .028 and .041, respectively). No differences were found between the other groups.
Conclusion: Severe nausea and vomiting was associated with greater depressive symptom severity in pregnant adolescents.
