title: [Depression and risk factors associated in women with children in sessions with a child psychiatrist].
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Maternal depression entails cognitive, behavioral, affective and relational disorders with a great impact on the life quality of individuals, society and family. Our objective was to determine the prevalence and factors associated in women with children in paedopsychiatry treatment in a children's hospital.
  
  
  METHODS
  Descriptive, prospective and prevalence study with a sample of 194 women. We used Beck scale. We calculated the prevalence rate. We analyzed the association of risk factors with the maternal depression by using chi square and a relative risk with a 95 % confidence interval (p = 0.5).
  
  
  RESULTS
  There was a maternal prevalence depression of 66 %: 45 % had a mild depression (58), 35 % moderate (45) and 20 % severe (25). According to the chi square analysis, married female variable was statistically significant (8.7408, p = 0.0031, Odds Ratio [OR] 2.48). Having five children had an OR of 2.09, and the diagnosis of delay in the development an OR of 1.75.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  There was a higher prevalence than expected with a percentage difference of 6 points. Mild depression was more common; women from 31 to 40 years of age, married, and with five children were the most affected groups.
