Findings: the frequency of psycho-emotional disorders in women who presented abortion was (12.7%), which was higher compared with the controls (9.04%), P = 0.002, being significant the hysteria (6.6%), P = 0.021. Key conclusions: There is a higher frequency of psycho-emotional disorders in women who present an abortion, represented for hysteria. Implications for practice: It is recommended to supply psychological support to women who suffer a spontaneous abortion.
