“…In our study, it was found that low problem solving in family relations and unhealthy communication were important related factors for experiencing PPD symptoms. Studies conducted in China have reported that unhealthy family function has a direct negative relationship with postpartum depression, consistent with our study findings (Guan et al, 2021; Huang et al, 2021). Chen et al (2017) studied the characteristics of family functioning in patients with major depression, and stated that the more dysfunctional a family's communication is, the higher the risk of PPD.…”

Purpose: To determine the effect of family function, relationship satisfaction, and dyadic adjustment on postpartum depression Design and Methods: This descriptive, cross-sectional study was conducted in 337 postpartum mothers. Findings: Fifty-five mothers scored above the depression scale cutoff point (>13). Emotional violence from husband, poor problem solving and communication, low relationship satisfaction, dyadic adjustment, and consensus were important risk factors for postpartum depression (p < .0.05). Practice Implications: Family function and partner relationships should be a key focus for midwives and nurses in the postpartum period. Providing psychological interventions aimed at improving relationship functioning can help protect mothers against postpartum depression.

“…High family functioning can be significant for young mothers' psychological wellbeing, with studies showing that women living in families with high family functioning are less likely to have emotional symptoms and are more likely to have higher levels of self-efficacy in maternal roles. 37–39 Based on this information, it might be beneficial that young mothers count on significant family members to gain positive experiences during pregnancy.…”

Introduction: Pregnancy represents a stressful period for both women and their families. Whether the family maintains functioning during pregnancy could have significant implications on maternal and child health. In this study, we explored individual- and family-level factors associated with family functioning in adolescent and young adult mothers. Methods: This study was a secondary analysis of 295 young mothers, ages between 15 and 21 years. Multivariate logistic regression models were conducted to estimate adjusted odds ratios of exploratory factors on the risk of being in high family functioning group. The parent study was approved by the Institutional Review Boards at Yale University. Results: The mean score of family functioning was 5.14 out of 7. With the inclusion of individual-level factors (Model 1), significant associations were observed between high family functioning and having ever attended religious services (OR = 2.22, 95% CI: 1.20–4.09), low perceived discrimination (OR = 3.04, 95% CI: 1.60–5.75), and high perceived social support (OR = 3.74, 95% CI: 2.01–6.95). After including both individual- and family-level factors (Model 2), results identified significant associations between high family functioning and annual household income>$15,000 (OR = 9.82, 95% CI: 1.67–57.67, p = 0.011) and no experience of violence from any family members (OR = 4.94, 95% CI: 1.50–16.21, p = 0.008). Discussion: The models of care should be structured to support the continuity of maternity care in which health care providers have the opportunity to discover and utilize each family's strengths to provide the optimal caring experience for young mothers and their families as a unit.

“…We consider the following reasons to explain this phenomenon in our study: First, parents / parents-in-law may use their own experiences and parenting methods to influence the new mothers and the babies in China. When the ideas of parenting are different from both parties, it may cause family conflicts, frustrations, and negative emotions to new mothers [ 43 ]. During the COVID period, parents visiting was very limited and even forbidden.…”

Background The emerging postpartum rehabilitation (PPR) program in Chinese hospitals characterized by applying ongoing medical care through traditional cultural practices shows a protective effect in early puerperium in China. This study explores the benefit of PPR program practices to postpartum depression (PPD) and the influencing factors for PPD among Chinese women during the first postnatal six weeks. Methods The cross-sectional study included 403 participants and was conducted in a Secondary Municipal Hospital in Qingdao, China, from 01 to 2018 to 31 December 2021. Information on this PPR program was collected during the six-weeks postpartum consultation, including the Edinburgh postnatal depression scale (EPDS) scores, the measurement results for diastasis recti abdominis, and the international physical activity questionnaire (long form) (IPAQ-L) scores. Logistic regression models were used to examine the effect of the PPR program on PPD among the local population. The secondary aim of this study was to investigate possible influencing factors for PPD, such as coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), physical exercises, etc. Results PPR program has shown a positive effect in preventing PPD (p < 0.001) and diastasis recti prevalence (p < 0.001) during the six-weeks postnatal control in Qingdao, China. Better post-pregnancy weight reduction (p = 0.04) and higher metabolic equivalent of task (MET) value (p < 0.001) were noticed in the non-PPR group. Furthermore, lower PPD risk was associated with factors such as longer relationship duration years (2–5 years) (p = 0.04) and exercising one to three times a week (p = 0.01). A higher PPD risk was related to factors such as urinary incontinence during the postpartum period (p = 0.04) and subjective insomnia (p < 0.001). No significant effect was shown between COVID-19 and the EPDS score in this study (p = 0.50). Conclusion Our results suggested that the PPR program provided protection against PPD and diastasis recti during the first six weeks after delivery. Urinary incontinence and subjective insomnia were the main risk factors for PPD, while longer relationship duration years and exercising one to three times a week gave protective effects to PPD. This study emphasized that a comprehensive ongoing medical care program, such as the PPR program, effectively improves women’s mental and physical health in the early postpartum in China.
