The news of a congenital malformation (CM) fetal is a fact that triggers during pregnancy a period of great physical and emotional stress, which can generate emotional and psychological reactions such as depression, stress, disruption of addiction, anxiety, among others, may be transient or permanent. This study aimed to evaluate mothers' anxiety levels of newborns with congenital malformations admitted to the Neonatal Unit (BU). cross-sectional study, quantitative conducted in three hospitals with maternity in Fortaleza / CE / Brazil, with data collection May / 2014 to April / 2015. The sample consisted of 115 mothers and 117 newborns, because two twin pregnancies. The questionnaire previously designed to investigate sociodemographic, psychosocial, perinatal and neonatal and Trait Anxiety Inventory - State (STAI) to mothers in a single moment, until the seventh day after birth. Data analysis considered the confidence interval of 95% (p <0.05) for all tests. Research approved by the Ethics Committee of the institutions investigated. Prevailed mothers aged between 19 and 29 years (50%) coming from Fortaleza (47%), married (36%), with 6 to 10 years of education (52%), brown / black (93%) and income one to two minimum wages (48%). It was identified that the participating mothers had scores ranging from the 25th and 75th percentiles, indicative of mild anxiety to IDATE - Trait (53.9%) and STAI - State (47%). Only the means of STAI scale - Trace showed statistically significant differences (p = 0.026) compared to the average level of anxiety of mothers who received a diagnosis of MC in prenatal care (37.4) with postnatal (41 ,two). Statistically significant differences between maternal and neonatal variables and scale: IDATE - Trait versus education level (p <0.001), drug use (p = 0.007); IDATE - Trait versus sex of the newborn (p = 0.021); IDATE - Trait versus received support from family (p = 0.039) and professional (p = 0.012); IDATE - Trait versus category MC genitals (p = 0.041); and STAI - State versus education (0.024) and number of prenatal visits (p = 0.040). It was concluded that previous history factors of life of these mothers interfered in the anxiety level before the baby's birth with MC, though relations were more significant between maternal and neonatal variables with the STAI scale - Trace, which deals with issues related to people personality traits. However, defects in general, did not trigger higher rates of anxiety, rejecting the first hypothesis but presented more pronounced when receiving the diagnosis of MC postpartum. Moreover, it revealed a relationship between anxiety and maternal and neonatal variables, and between the categories of birth defects, confirming the hypothesis that anxiety can be interfered with by previous history factors of mothers life, as well as other maternal and neonatal characteristics
