“…Breastfeeding may also be a source of stress. The pressure to breastfeed, which is common today, may make women who, for various reasons, are unable to implement this model, feel they are not good enough in the maternal role [14,[39][40][41]. The research by Wawak-Sobierajska [13] suggests that almost all women who did not succeed at breastfeeding interpreted that fact as a personal failure.…”

SummaryAim: The decision to quit breastfeeding is strongly influenced by feelings such as physical or psychological fatigue. Research shows that women with higher levels of breastfeeding self-efficacy are able to better cope with difficulties and continue to breastfeed for longer. The purpose of this study was to find out whether the autonomy of a mother's motivation has an effect on her breastfeeding self-efficacy. Furthermore, the study examined the relationship between breastfeeding self-efficacy and such indicators of well-being as the frequency of experiencing positive and negative emotions, life satisfaction and the occurrence of somatic symptoms. Method:The sample consisted of 93 breastfeeding mothers aged 21 to 42 years. The survey was conducted online. Participants answered a questionnaire measuring their level of autonomous motivation to breastfeed, their breastfeeding self-efficacy, the level of somatic stress experienced, the frequency of experiencing positive and negative emotions, and life satisfaction. Results:The results of the study confirmed that the more autonomous the mother's motivation to breastfeed her baby, the higher her breastfeeding self-efficacy. Self-efficacy turned out to be a significant predictor of the frequency of experiencing positive emotions, negative emotions, and somatic stress symptoms. No relationship was found between the mother's self-efficacy and her reported life satisfaction. Conclusions:Autonomous motivation in breastfeeding mothers has a positive effect on their breastfeeding self-efficacy. The higher the breastfeeding self-efficacy, the more positive the breastfeeding mothers' subjective experiences. High breastfeeding self-efficacy, which has a positive effect on the mother's well-being, may also contribute to longer duration of breastfeeding.breastfeeding, breastfeeding self-efficacy, autonomous motivation, psycho-physical well-being According to recommendations from the World Health Organization (WHO), breastfeeding (or natural feeding) is the "gold standard" in feeding infants. It is emphasized that breastfeeding is linked to numerous desired health and emotional outcomes, both for the baby and for the mother, bringing a range of social and economic benefits. Importantly, however, these positive effects of breastfeeding depend on its duration. According to the WHO, and other healthcare organizations, the optimal method is exclusive breastfeeding for the first 6 months of life, with continued breastfeeding up to the age of 12 months or longer [1][2][3][4].In response to these recommendations and numerous empirical studies supporting the advantages of natural infant feeding, programs and social campaigns have been implemented in Poland to promote natural feeding of in- Autonomous motivation, self-efficacy and psycho-physical well-being in a group of Polish... 59Archives of Psychiatry and Psychotherapy, 2016; 3: 58-67 fants.

“…Bu araştırmalardan bazılarında prevalans %6-16, postpartum depresyon insidansı ise %10-15 civarında tespit edilmiştir (6)(7)(8)(9). Postpartum depresyonun sadece anneleri değil babalar, çocuklar ve bütün bir aileyi etkileyebilen önemli bir sağlık sorunu olduğu, bununla beraber çocukların sağlığına, bilişsel ve duygusal gelişimleri üzerine de önemli etkileri olabileceği çeşitli araştırmalarda belirtilmektedir (10 Batı kaynaklı bazı araştırmalarda gestasyonel anne yaşının postpartum depresyon ile ilişkisinin olmadığı sonucuna varılmıştır.

“…Biz ailenin sağlık Tartışma güvencesi ile annenin postpartum depresyon sıklığı arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir ilişki bulamadık. Postpartum depresyona karşı direnç geliştirmede annelerin en büyük ihtiyaçlarından birinin de sosyal destek olduğu bir çok çalışma ile ortaya konulmuştur (10,17,32,33).

ÖzetAmaç: Bu çalışma postpartum depresyonun yaygınlığı, yaşam kalitesi üzerine etkisi ve gebelikte alınan kilo ile postpartum depresyonun sosyodemografik parametrelerle ilişkilerini araştırmak amacıyla yapılmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Kadın hastalıkları ve doğum kliniğine Nisan 2008-Mayıs 2008 tarihleri arasında başvuran gebeler arasından rastgele yöntemle seçilmiş 41 postpartum anne araştırmanın evrenini oluşturdu. Bu gebelerin sosyodemografik özelliklerini belirlemek için 25 soruluk anket yapıldı. Sonrasında Edinburgh Postpartum Depresyon Skalası (EPDS) uygulandı. Bulgular: Olgularımızın EPDS değerleri ortalaması 9.6, standart sapması 5.18 idi, minimum değer 0 iken, maksimum değer 23 idi. EPDS düzeylerine ilişkin kesme puanına göre oluşturulan gruplar arasında EPDS düzeyi 13'ten az olan grubun (n=30) ortalama kilo alımı 14.0±4.15 iken 13 ve üzerinde olan gruba (n=11) ortalama kilo alımı 10.5±6.28 idi. Bu sonuçlara göre EPDS düzeyi 13'ten az olan grubun EPDS düzeyi 13 ve üzerinde olan gruba göre gebelikte daha fazla kilo aldığı saptandı (p=0.031). Çalışma sonucu EPDS'ye göre postpartum depresyon insidansı %26 olarak saptandı. Sonuç: Biz postpartum depresyon için risk faktörü olarak gebelik sürecinde beslenme sonucu yetersiz kilo alımının da üzerinde durulması gerektiğini vurgulamak isteriz. Anahtar Kelimeler: Postpartum Depresyon; Risk Faktörleri; Gebe; Kilo Alımı. The Relationship of Postpartum Depression With Weight Gain During Pregnancy and Sociodemographic Factors AbstractObjective: This study is intended to investigate the prevalence of postpartum depression, its effect on life quality, and the relationship of the weight gained during pregnancy and the postpartum depression with sociodemographic parameters. Material and Methods: 41 postpartum mothers chosen randomly among the pregnant women, who had applied to the outpatient clinic for obstetrics and gynecology between dates of April 2008 -May 2008, constituted the extent of the study. A survey including 25 questions was carried out to determine the sociodemographic characteristics of these pregnant women. Thereafter, Edinburgh Postpartum Depression Scale (EPDS) was applied. Results: Average of EPDS scores of our cases was 9.6 and standard derivation was found as 5.18. Minimum value was 0, whereas maximum value was determined to be 23. Among groups, which were constituted according to cut-off scores regarding their EPDS levels, mean weight gain of the group (n=30) with an EPDS score lower than 13 was 14.0±4.15, whereas mean weight gain of the group (n=11) with EPDS score equal to or above 13 was found to be 10.5±6.28. According to these results, it was determined that the group with a EPDS score less than 13 gained more weight during pregnancy compared to the other group (p=0.031). Result of the study with regard to EPDS revealed a postpartum depression incidence of 26%. Conclusion:We also intend to lay emphasis on insufficient weight gain revealed as the result of nutrition, which constitutes a risk factor for postpartum depression during pregnancy.

Objective:This study was aimed at assessing the association of the TAT haplotype of the corticotropinreleasing hormone receptor type 1 (CRHR1) with the function of the hypothalamic-pituitaryadrenal (HPA) axis in depressive and euthymic women in the remote postpartum period. Methods:The sample (mean age = 27.9 ± 5.3 years) consisted of 37 depressed postpartum women, of which 26 had one or two copies of the TAT haplotype (D-TAT ) and 20 without the TAT haplotype (E-TAT 0 ). Salivary cortisol samples were collected immediately upon awakening and 30 minutes, 3 hours and 12 hours later, approximately in the sixth month after delivery (mean = 169.6 ± 60.3 days). DNA for genotyping was extracted between 22 and 25 weeks of pregnancy. Results: D-TAT1/2 women presented lower cortisol awakening response (CAR) compared with E-TAT 1/2 and E-TAT 0 women. Independently of the diagnosis of depression, only women with at least one copy of the TAT haplotype presented a negative correlation between CAR and scores of perceived stress during pregnancy and depressive symptoms in the postpartum. Conclusion:The association between CRHR1 polymorphisms and postpartum depression may be mediated by variability in individual responses to stress as assessed through HPA axis responsiveness.
