Objectives: The purpose of the study was to identify factors increasing or decreasing the risk for postpartum blues. Material and methods:A total of 101 women in their first week postpartum were included in the study. The Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale, questions concerning their medical and social status, and psychological tests (the Neo-Five Factor Personality Inventory NEO-FFI, the Mieczysław Plopa and Jan Rostowski Marriage Questionnaire, and the Berlin Social Support Scales) were used.Results: The probability of postpartum blues was detected in 16.8% of the respondents. The risk decreased with higher satisfaction with intimacy (OR = 0.81), partner similarity (OR = 0.78), and the overall satisfaction with the relationship (OR = 0.94), while higher disappointment elevated that risk (OR = 1.12). As far as social support is concerned, further independent factors included perceived available social support (OR = 0.31), perceived instrumental social support (OR = 0.24), need for support (OR = 2.74), and protective buffering support (OR = 3.41). High level of neuroticism as well as fear of childbirth increased the risk for postpartum blues (OR = 2.17 and OR = 1.30, respectively). High level of extraversion and better quality of sleep constituted protective factors (OR = 0.74 and OR = 0.60, respectively). Conclusions:Maternal disappointment with marriage/relationship, neuroticism and introversion, poor quality of sleep, fear of childbirth, and seeking social support are among the factors signaling the need for careful observation for signs of possible postpartum mood disorders both, during hospitalization and the follow-up visits.

Background The Saudi Ministry of Health makes continual efforts to provide high-quality preventive services through a large network of primary health care (PHC) centers. Patient satisfaction is integral to measuring health outcomes and the quality of these services. Methods We searched the Cochrane, EMBASE, and Google Scholar databases for studies investigating patient satisfaction with PHC services in Saudi Arabia in the past 10 years. The risk of bias and heterogeneity across the included studies were assessed with Newcastle Ottawa scale and I2 test, respectively. Review Manger version 5.311 was used for data analysis with the random effect model. The quality of evidence of each outcome was measured with the GRADE approach. Results The review included 3302 Saudi residents from six observational studies conducted in different regions of Saudi Arabia. Most studies included in the review had low risk of bias regarding the studied domains. The review indicated moderate overall satisfaction with PHC services (77.00%) among participants. More than 60% of the participants (63.11% and 82.59%) were satisfied with the continuity and communication of PHC services, respectively, whereas, less than half (41.73% and 46.92%) were satisfied with the accessibility of the PHC services and the health education provided at these centers. Moreover, low satisfaction was found among older patients and those with low educational levels. Other sociodemographic factors did not determine patient satisfaction. Conclusion and Recommendations This review indicated a moderate level of overall patient satisfaction with respect to the targeted satisfaction level for Saudi Ministry of Health 2023 PHC services of 85%. Additional efforts and continuing evaluation by health care providers will be crucial to address the weaknesses in PHC services.
