Abstract

Se realizó un estudio prospectivo analítico en 100 gestantes de la provincia de Pinar del Río, a las que se les diagnosticó prenatalmente un defecto congénito fetal. El estudio se realizó desde el primero de marzo del 2002 hasta el 31 de diciembre del 2004. El diagnóstico se realizó utilizando algunos de los procedimientos siguientes: ecografía fetal, alfafetoproteína, cariotipo de células fetales en líquido amniótico y estudio molecular. Una vez realizado el diagnóstico se les brindó asesoramiento genético por un personal especializado, y posteriormente se analizaron las etapas psicológicas por las que atravesó la gestante, que en nuestro estudio resultaron ser: negación, depresión y aceptación.
