In recent years, several researchers have focused on the study of prenatal anxiety\/depression\u2014emotional disorders manifested by mood lability and low interest in activities\u2014with a high prevalence. The main objective of this research was to conduct an antenatal screening in a cohort of pregnant women hospitalized for delivery in order to assess the prevalence of anxiety and depression. The secondary objective was to identify the risk factors associated with depression and anxiety in women in the third trimester of pregnancy. We carried out a prospective study in which we evaluated 215 pregnant women in the third trimester of pregnancy hospitalized for childbirth at the Obstetrics and Gynecology Clinic of the T\u00e2rgu-Mure\u0219 County Clinical Hospital. The research was carried out between December 2019 and December 2021. The results showed that age and the environment of origin are the strongest predictors of mental health during pregnancy (OR = 0.904, 95%CI: 0.826\u20130.991; p = 0.029). For women from urban areas, there is an increased probability of falling at a higher level on the dependent variable (moderate depression) (OR = 2.454, 95%CI: 1.086\u20135.545; p = 0.032). In terms of health behaviors, none of the variables were statistically significant predictors of the outcome variable. The study highlights the importance of monitoring mental health during pregnancy and identifying relevant risk factors to provide appropriate care to pregnant women and the need for interventions to support the mental health of pregnant women. Especially in Romania, where there is no antenatal or postnatal screening for depression or other mental health conditions, these results could be used to encourage the implementation of such screening programs and appropriate interventions.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/medicina59061009","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,5,24]],"date-time":"2023-05-24T01:29:26Z","timestamp":1684891766000},"page":"1009","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":29,"title":["Prevalence and Risk Factors of Depression and Anxiety among Women in the Last Trimester of Pregnancy: A Cross-Sectional Study"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"59","author":[{"given":"Anca Ioana Cristea","family":"R\u0103chit\u0103","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Doctoral School, \u201cGeorge Emil Palade\u201d University of Medicine, Pharmacy, Science and Technology from T\u00e2rgu Mure\u0219, 540139 T\u00e2rgu Mure\u0219, Romania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2963-6793","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Gabriela Elena","family":"Strete","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychiatry, \u201cGeorge Emil Palade\u201d University of Medicine, Pharmacy, Science and Technology from T\u00e2rgu Mure\u0219, 540136 T\u00e2rgu Mure\u0219, Romania"},{"name":"Mental Health Center, Mure\u0219 County Clinical Hospital, 540072 T\u00e2rgu Mure\u0219, Romania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Andreea","family":"S\u0103lcudean","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ethics and Social Sciences, \u201cGeorge Emil Palade\u201d University of Medicine, Pharmacy, Science and Technology from T\u00e2rgu Mure\u0219, 540136 T\u00e2rgu Mure\u0219, Romania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Dana Valentina","family":"Ghiga","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medical Scientific Research Methodology, \u201cGeorge Emil Palade\u201d University of Medicine, Pharmacy, Science and Technology from T\u00e2rgu Mure\u0219, 540136 T\u00e2rgu Mure\u0219, Romania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6269-3370","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Flavia","family":"R\u0103dulescu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Endocrinology, \u201cGeorge Emil Palade\u201d University of Medicine, Pharmacy, Science and Technology from T\u00e2rgu Mure\u0219, 540136 T\u00e2rgu Mure\u0219, Romania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mihai","family":"C\u0103linescu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Graduate of Cluj School of Public Health, Babes-Bolyai University Cluj Napoca, 400347 Cluj-Napoca, Romania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Andreea Georgiana","family":"Nan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"First Department of Psychiatry, Clinical County Hospital, 540139 T\u00e2rgu Mure\u0219, Romania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Andreea Bianca","family":"Sasu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"First Department of Psychiatry, Clinical County Hospital, 540139 T\u00e2rgu Mure\u0219, Romania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Laura Mihaela","family":"Suciu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology Clinic II, \u201cGeorge Emil Palade\u201d University of Medicine, Pharmacy, Science and Technology from T\u00e2rgu Mure\u0219, 540136 T\u00e2rgu Mure\u0219, Romania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Claudiu","family":"M\u0103rginean","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology Clinic II, \u201cGeorge Emil Palade\u201d University of Medicine, Pharmacy, Science and Technology from T\u00e2rgu Mure\u0219, 540136 T\u00e2rgu Mure\u0219, Romania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,5,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"141","DOI":"10.1097\/YCO.0b013e3283503680","article-title":"Anxiety, depression and stress in pregnancy: Implications for mothers, children, research, and practice","volume":"25","author":"Tanner","year":"2012","journal-title":"Curr.
