“…In the same study, it was found out that PPD was significantly more in women with nuclear families which were consistent with the findings of our study [10]. Our results also showed no association of PPD with obstetric risk factors like present or previous pregnancy and delivery complications which were similar to findings of the previous studies [18,19] and were conflicting with the findings of study done in Victoria [20]. This unusual finding may be attributed to improved and better health One finding that husband's alcohol intake is associated with PPD is unique to Indian culture in sharp contrast to western countries where both men and women consider alcohol intake as normal.…”

“…Instead, unexpectedly, unwanted last pregnancy was significantly higher in non PPD group. These findings were congruent with findings of researchers elsewhere regarding the number of pregnancies 11 ; number of children 13 ; number of abortions 17 ; number of stillbirths 13,18 ; gender of the last baby 13,19 ; mode of the last labor 20 ; and history of marital and other psychosocial problems during last pregnancy 21 . However, In contrast to our results, a longitudinal study among Chinese mothers in Hong Kong found that 2 or more previous induced abortions are significant predictors of PPD 22 .…”

Background and objectives: Postpartum depression is a global, life-threatening disorder which affects particular mothers in their post-natal periods. It's regarded to be one of the major disabling conditions of motherhood. We aimed to study the rate of, as well as assessing a group of psycho-obstetrical risk factors behind postpartum depression. Methods: 98 newly gave-birth mothers were recruited with mean age of 27.07 year between the periods of November 2009 to February 2010. Edinburg Post-natal Depression Scale was adopted by authors for the assessment of postpartum depression. Comparisons on groups of demographic, obstetrical, and psychological data were done between both positive and negative mothers for the disorder. Results: 39.8% of mothers were diagnosed as postpartum depression. For which, no particular demographic factors were significantly predictive for. Depressed mothers were of significant higher mean number of gestation with p value of 0.0472. However, no other obstetrical factors revealed back statistical significant differences. Past history of depressive disorders, whether post-natal or not, was significant predictor for current postpartum depression with p value of 0.02 for history of previous postpartum depression, and p value of 0.042 for non postpartum depressive disorders. Conclusion: Postpartum depression is highly prevalent in our society. History of depressive disorders is a strong predictor for future postpartum disorder. However, there were no clear correlation between postpartum depression and other demographic and obstetrical data apart from the mean number of gestation.

“…Two studies found no significant differences in the risk of depression at 6-8 weeks postpartum. 20,21 In the third study, Australian women from nonmetropolitan areas (n = 213) had significantly lower odds (OR 0.54, 95% CI 0.33-0.90) of depression at 8-9 months postpartum than did women living in metropolitan areas (n = 535). 22 These results are not surprising, because outcomes can change depending on the definition of the rural exposure group.…”

P ostpartum depression is an internationally recognized health concern for women and their families. Depression during the perinatal period is associated with serious negative consequences for both mother and baby, particularly if the depression is untreated.1 Outcomes among women include impaired functioning, poor quality of life and death.2 Outcomes for infants include developmental delay, poor growth, malnutrition and illness.3-5 Numerous risk factors for postpartum depression have been identified; low levels of social support and history of depression are among the variables most consistently associated with postpartum depression.6-8 However, previous reports are inconsistent as to whether geographical size or location is associated with the risk of postpartum depression. 9 In Canada, about 30% of the population lives in rural or remote areas, a large proportion live in several large urban areas, and the remainder live in smaller urban settings. 10 To design appropriate supports and services for the prevention and treatment of postpartum depression among Canadian women, it is important to identify and target geographical variation in the risk of postpartum depression.Our primary objective was to compare the risk of postpartum depression among Canadian women living in rural and urban areas. Our secondary objective was to identify factors that could explain any associations between place of residence and risk of postpartum depression. We used multiple definitions of rural and urban locations to more accurately reflect differences between communities and to account for the level of social and occupational connectivity of smaller areas to more urban areas. Methods Study designWe used a population-based Canadian survey of women who had recently given birth (the Mater- The relation between place of residence and risk of postpartum depression is uncertain. We evaluated the relation between place of residence and risk of postpartum depression in a population-based sample of Canadian women. Relation between place of residence and postpartum depression
