Postpartum Depression and Associated Factors in Patients Who Admitted to Our Clinic to Make Child Birth

Abstract

Anahtar Sözcükler: Ekonomik durum, doğum, postpartum depresyon Aim:The aim of this study was to evaluate the incidence of postpartum depression (PPD) and associated factors in patients who have given birth in our clinic. Methods:This was a prospective controlled study including 482 cases. All the subjects were evaluated using the Beck depression inventory during antenatal period and those with a Beck depression inventory score of higher than 17 were excluded. Hence, we included 431 subjects. Age, duration and number of marriage, education level, economic status, personal factors as well as the factors associated with labor and newborn were investigated. These factors were compared between women with and without PPD by using Pearson's chi-square test. The factors which increased PPD were also investigated by using multivariate analysis. A p value of less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant.Results: PPD was observed in 34.8% of subjects (n=150). Previous marriage, continuous drug use and newborn taken to intensive care unit increased the incidence of PPD three times (p=0.003), 2.5 times (p=0.018), and 4.3 times (p=0.005), respectively. Conclusion:Economic, personal and labor-associated factors can increase PPD. These factors should be taken into consideration after birth and psychiatric consultation should be requested if necessary.

Three spirals: Breastfeeding problems, growth spurts, and postpartum depression

“…The studies conducted in Turkey indicated that the incidence of postpartum depression increased as the income level decreased. 16,21,22 Our results are similar to those in the literature.…”

“…Although different rates are presented due to differences in methods used for the prevalence of postpartum depression, which is the most common complication of childbirth, research shows that it develops in approximately 10%-15% of newly delivered women. 16 In a study conducted on 6-8-week puerperal women in our country, it was detected that the mean postpartum depression score was 9.58 ± 5.10 and that 31.7% of the mothers received a score of 13 and above from the scale. 17 In another study similar to our study in terms of methodology, the mean postpartum depression score of women was 11.68 ± 5.75, and a statistically significant relationship was found between depression and breastfeeding.…”

Determinants of Postpartum Depression In Rural Area, Central Java, Indonesia

“…It was found that non-working mothers in central Turkey and working mothers in Western Turkey had increased PPD frequency (47)(48)(49). Of note, women who returned to work for economic reasons had more PPD (48,50,51). The studies examined showed working status was a significant factor affecting (33.3%) PPD.…”

Effect of Postpartum Depression in Mothers With 0–1-Year-Old Infants on Father–Infant Attachment

“…In other studies, conducted in the provinces in Turkey, PPD risk levels are at rates changed between 14% and 34.4%. (7,14,19,23,24,(32)(33)(34)(35). In a study on 2,259 mothers in 2017 in Brazil, the risk level of PPD was 12%; the risk level was 16% in Zimbabwe, 22% in Jordan and 34.7% in South Africa (7).…”

“…The Socio-Demographic Data Form was created by the researchers following a literature review (16,(24)(25)(26). This form consists of 14 questions regarding the baseline characteristics of mothers and fathers (age, marital status, employment status, income status etc.…”
