Salud mental y atención primaria en mujeres gestantes desde una perspectiva de género

Abstract

This review article aims to identify theoretical and intervention aspects of primary care in mental health of pregnant women from a gender perspective; this through the summary of the relevant information of the common and salient points of the topic. Regarding the theme, it is significant to say, that the concept of primary care in mental health is not something new, it seeks the observation of the human being from a comprehensive perspective, recognizing and valuing biopsychosocial aspects that are essential for the development and survival of individual. From here, public health currently seeks to focus its reviews towards interdisciplinarity and taking into account the various stages of life. On the other hand, gestation is a stage full of changes, mostly naturalized and taken lightly, but it is here where the need arises to review how this future mother is integrating and what aspects mental health is evaluating in primary care.
