“…Another systematic review and meta-analysis study in India which assessed 38 studies reported a pooled prevalence of postpartum depression to be 22% (10).

BackgroundMaternal mental health in the postpartum period is essential for the optimal development of the newborn and appropriate breastfeeding practices. Despite this, a shortage of concrete evidence exists regarding the magnitude of postpartum depression and associated factors. This meta-analysis study was therefore done to fill such a gap.MethodsPubMed, Scopus, and EMBASE were investigated with no time limitation. A manual search for a reference list of articles was also done. Relevant data were extracted using Meta XL package and analysis was done Stata-11 meta-prop package. Heterogeneity was checked with Cochran's Q-statistics and the Higgs I2 test. Furthermore, sub-group and sensitivity analyses were done. Egger's test and funnel plots tests were engaged to identify publication bias.ResultsA total of 16 studies that assessed 11400 postpartum women in Ethiopia were included. The average estimated prevalence of postpartum depression was 21.9% (95% CI: 18.98, 24.77). The pooled prevalence of postpartum depression was higher in studies that used SRQ-20; 24.6% (95% CI: 18.42, 30.84) than studies that used PHQ-9; 18.9% (95% CI: 11.52, 26.28). Moreover, the pooled estimated prevalence of postpartum depression was slightly higher in the southern part of Ethiopia (22.6%) than Addis Ababa (21.2%). Poor marital relation (pooled aOR = 3.56) (95% CI: 2.50, 4.63), unplanned pregnancy (pooled aOR = 3.48) (95% CI: 2.18, 4.79), previous history of depression (pooled aOR = 4.33) (95% CI: 2.26, 6.59), poor social support (pooled aOR = 4.5) (95% CI: 3.34, 5.56), domestic violence (pooled aOR = 3.77) (95% CI: 2.62, 4.92), family history of mental illness (pooled aOR = 4) (95% CI:1.56, 6.56), use of substance (pooled aOR = 4.67) (95% CI:4.00, 5.34), low income (pooled aOR = 2.87) (95% CI: 1.59, 4.14), stressful life event (pooled aOR = 3.5) (95% CI: 1.39, 5.87) and perinatal complications (pooled aOR = 3.8)( 95% CI: 1.45, 6.15) were among the associated factors for postpartum depression in Ethiopia.ConclusionMore than one in five women was with postpartum depression and factors such as poor marital relations, history of depression, poor social support, domestic violence, unplanned pregnancy, family history of mental illness were related to it. Therefore, maternal postnatal care services should be geared to incorporate this public essential health concern.

Postpartum depression (PPD) is a common mental health issue in resource‐limited settings that negatively affects the well‐being of mothers and children. However, PPD often remains untreated, leading to long‐term consequences for families. Therefore, we examined the prevalence and determinants of PPD among adolescent and adult mothers in northwest Ethiopia. Data were collected from 374 adolescent (10–19 years) and 760 adult (20–34 years) mothers 6 weeks after childbirth. Data were analyzed using binary and multiple logistic regression. Adolescent mothers had a significantly higher proportion of PPD (37.4%) than adult mothers (20.1%) and were more likely to report low self‐esteem (13.1% vs. 8.2%) and low social support (28.3% vs. 23.3%). Factors associated with PPD differed between adolescent and adult mothers. Adolescent mothers with PPD were more likely to report household food insecurity, low self‐esteem, low knowledge of postpartum complications, and working in agriculture or professional/technical occupations. For adult mothers, factors associated with PPD included distance to the nearest health facility, medium social support, inadequate dietary diversity, and food insecurity. Results suggest that targeted interventions by age group are needed to reduce the burden of PPD in Ethiopia.

IntroductionThis study examined postpartum depression (PPD) among mothers in the Bawku municipality of Ghana, aiming to assess its prevalence and associated risk factors.MethodsA total of 242 women, 2–12 weeks postpartum, were randomly recruited for this cross‐sectional analytical study. The Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale was used for depression screening, and multivariate logistic regression analysis was employed to assess the factors associated with PPD.ResultsThe study showed that 34.7% of the postpartum mothers were within the age range of 25–29, with a mean age of 27.9 (standard deviation [SD] ± 6.33). The prevalence of PPD was 50.4% (95% confidence interval [CI] 43.9–56.9). Several significant risk factors were identified, including inadequate prenatal visits (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] = 13.44, 95% CI 3.66–49.37, P < 0.001), obstetric complications (aOR = 3.39, 95% CI 1.23–11.19, P = 0.019), less than 3 weeks postpartum (aOR = 8.14, 95% CI 1.95, 33.94, P = 0.004), 6–8 weeks postpartum (aOR = 7.72, 95% CI 1.71–34.80, P = 0.008), and stressful life events (aOR = 3.30, 95% CI 1.23–8.89, P = 0.018).ConclusionThe study concluded that the prevalence of PPD in the Bawku municipality is higher than previously reported in Ghana, emphasizing the need for early identification of pregnant women at risk for PPD.
