“…This may be due to their belief that every pregnancy comes with some level of anxiety. Nevertheless; numerous studies have linked prenatal anxiety to PPD (Sayil et al 2006;NIHCM 2010;Mehta & Mehta, 2014). Majority affirmed that Edinburg Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) can be used to screen for PPD yet only about half of the respondents claimed that PPD tendency can be detected during pregnancy and Less than half of the respondents affirmed that a score of > 10 using the EPDS indicates depression.…”

Background: Postpartum depression (PPD) is a global childbirth-related problem that affects many women and if ignored can have long-term adverse consequences, for both mother and child. Therefore, timely identification of its risk factors requires a good knowledge base for the care provider. Methods: A descriptive cross sectional study was used to assess the knowledge of PPD and its associated risk factors among nurse-midwives in a tertiary hospital in Bayelsa State, Nigeria. A systematic random sampling technique was used to select a sample size 114 nurse-midwife respondents. A well-structured questionnaire was used to collect data from the participants. The same were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics with level of significance was set at 0.05(5%). Findings: Despite the fact that majority of nurse-midwives rated their information level on postpartum depression as moderate, most of them still maintained that cigarette smoking, unwanted pregnancy, poor economic status cannot predispose a woman to PPD. Furthermore, majority affirmed that Edinburg Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) can be used to screen for PPD yet only about half of the respondents opined that PPD tendency can be detected during pregnancy and less than half of them affirmed that a score of > 10 using the EPDS indicates depression. The study also found significant relationship between educational qualification and level of information about PPD and its associated risk factors. Conclusion: The level of knowledge of nurse-midwives is not at the expected level since majority still have knowledge deficit regarding risk factors and how to detect PPD. Hence, it was recommended that periodic suitable training programs on PPD should be developed for healthcare professionals especially for nursemidwives who are the first point of contact during antenatal, labour and post-natal period.

“…Young, older aged (over 35 years), and less educated mothers were more likely to develop PPD (deCastro, ; Rich et al, ; Katon et al, ). However, Eastwood et al () and Mehta and Mehta () did not find a significant association between PPD and the age or education of mothers.…”

“…Similarly, results showed an association of PPD with the birth of a male infant (Sylvén et al, ) and the birth of a female newborn (deCastro, ; Mohammad et al, ). Financial status was a significant factor of PPD in several studies (Pooler et al, ; Saleh et al, ; Mehta & Mehta, ). Income, intendedness of pregnancy, and mode of birth were the strongest predictors of PPD among Arab Jordanian military nurses (Yehia et al, ).…”

“…In this study, unplanned pregnancy does not refer to pregnancy outside of marriage, as cultural and religious beliefs require marriage before pregnancy. Most studies found that an unplanned or negative attitude toward pregnancy was always associated with PPD (Beck et al, ; Pooler et al, ; Alasoom & Koura, ; Mehta & Mehta, ).…”

“…Regarding the number of children or parity, Hamdan and Tamim () and Sword et al () found that depression was significantly associated with the number of children among mothers of more than one child; however, Mehta and Mehta () found that first‐time mothers were at a higher risk of PPD.…”

This cross-sectional correlational study examined post-partum depression and its relationship with demographic, maternal, and infant health problems in urban Jordanian women. Participants (n = 315) were selected from five maternal child healthcare centers and one major hospital in Amman, Jordan. Patient Health Questionnaire-9 was used to measure post-partum depression within 12 weeks of birth. A number of socio-demographic and health problems were examined for an association with post-partum depression. Results showed that 25% of postpartum women suffered moderate to severe depression and 50% of the sample had mild depression. None of the socio-demographic variables (age, education, employment, income) were significantly related to postpartum depression; however, two obstetric/infant variables (mode of birth and breastfeeding), were significantly associated with post-partum depression. There was a significant association between post-partum depression and 15 health problems of obstetric, gynecologic (i.e. episiotomy pain, infection), and general health conditions (i.e. fatigue, headache). Nurses and midwives need to emphasize post-partum depression screening, follow-up, and proper management of maternal and infant health factors predisposing to post-partum depression rather than merely focusing on women's inherent demographic factors.

ImportanceCurrent evidence on the association between family history of psychiatric disorders and postpartum depression is inconsistent; family studies have identified familial risk of postpartum depression, whereas systematic reviews and umbrella reviews, compiling all risk factors for postpartum depression, often have not.ObjectiveTo investigate the association between family history of psychiatric disorders and risk of developing postpartum depression within 12 months post partum.Data SourcesLiterature searches were conducted in PubMed, Embase, and PsycINFO in September 2021 and updated in March 2022, accompanied by citation and reference search.Study SelectionStudies eligible for inclusion comprised peer-reviewed cohort and case-control studies reporting an odds ratio (OR) or sufficient data to calculate one for the association between family history of any psychiatric disorder and postpartum depression. Study selection was made by 2 independent reviewers: title and abstract screening followed by full-text screening.Data Extraction and SynthesisReporting was performed using the MOOSE checklist. Two reviewers independently extracted predefined information and assessed included studies for risk of bias using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale. Data were pooled in a meta-analysis using a random-effects model. Heterogeneity was investigated with meta-regression, subgroup, and sensitivity analyses. Publication bias was investigated using a funnel plot, and GRADE (Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation) was used to evaluate the overall certainty of the findings.Main Outcomes and MeasuresThe primary outcome was the pooled association between family history of psychiatric disorders and postpartum depression.ResultsA total of 26 studies were included, containing information on 100 877 women. Meta-analysis showed an increased OR of developing postpartum depression when mothers had a family history of psychiatric disorders (OR, 2.08; 95% CI, 1.67-2.59; I2 = 57.14%) corresponding to a risk ratio of 1.79 (95% CI, 1.52-2.09), assuming a 15% postpartum depression prevalence in the general population. Subgroup, sensitivity, and meta-regression analyses were in line with the primary analysis. The overall certainty of evidence was deemed as moderate according to GRADE.Conclusions and RelevanceIn this study, there was moderate certainty of evidence for an almost 2-fold higher risk of developing postpartum depression among mothers who have a family history of any psychiatric disorder compared with mothers without.
