“…Scheyer and Urizar (2016) suggest that high perceived stress across pregnancy trimesters and 3 months postpartum are associated with increased PPD risk for low‐income women (Scheyer & Urizar, 2016). This finding is corroborated by recent research also suggesting that low income is associated with increased PPD risk (Hanach et al, 2023). Moreover, studies suggest that PPD is two to four times more common for low‐income women compared to middle‐ and upper‐income women.…”

Postpartum depression (PPD) is a common and complex phenomenon with negative outcomes for children, women and their families. This study set out to identify both direct and indirect predictors of PPD symptoms among indigenous Bedouin mothers in Israel. The study included 305 women, 18 to 45 years of age, who were interviewed while pregnant and again, 2 to 4 months postpartum. Interviews were conducted in Arabic and included the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale, administered at both points of measurement. Using path analyses, we identified four significant, direct predictors of PPD symptoms. The strongest was depressive symptoms when pregnant, followed by low relative income, low hemoglobin, and number of prior miscarriages. The latter was significantly associated with consanguinity, meaning that women married to a first cousin experienced more miscarriages which, in turn, increased PPD risk. Low relative income was the only variable that had both a direct and indirect effect upon PPD symptoms (via symptoms of depression when pregnant and hemoglobin). Education and polygamy also emerged as indirect predictors of PPD via depressive symptoms reported during pregnancy. Results suggest a high rate of PPD in this perinatal sample of indigenous women. Our findings underscore the need for tailored interventions to reduce PPD, especially for low‐income Bedouin women, faced with many barriers and insufficient access to healthcare services.

“…A total score of ≥13 is considered indicative of PPD, with a significant increase in specificity of 0.95 (20). EPDS was commonly used to assess the degree of PPD, and many studies reported good validity and reliability of the Edinburgh tool in different contexts, from 0.76 to 0.861 (21,22), and The Cronbach's alpha of EPDS in this study was 0.853.…”

ObjectiveThis study aims to investigate the occurrence of maternal postpartum depression (PPD) during menstruation and analyze the influencing factors and risk prediction modeling of maternal PPD in Chinese puerperal women of sitting the month.MethodsA total of 286 mothers were selected using convenience sampling, who came for a routine postpartum follow-up visit were surveyed, including face-to-face, telephone, and online. They completed questionnaires including the basic profile questionnaire, Postpartum Partner Support Scale (PPSS), Edinburgh PPD Scale (EPDS), Parenting Self-Efficacy Scale (SICS), and Simple Coping Style Questionnaire (SCSQ), who were advised to complete the survey alone, in private, reducing the impact of husband’s presence on the quality of the questionnaire. Variables showing statistical significance in the one-way analysis were further analyzed using logistic regression analysis. The predictive value of the logistic regression model was analyzed using the Receiver Operating Characteristic Curve (ROC), and the predictive reliability was expressed as the area under the ROC [Area Under the Curve (AUC)].ResultsThe total score of PPD was 7.78 ± 4.57, and 22 people (7.69%) experienced depression during the postpartum period. PPD was found to be correlated with postpartum partner support, positive coping, negative coping, and parenting self-efficacy, with correlation coefficient values of −0.63, 0.62, 0.56, and − 0.70, respectively (all p < 0.05). Logistic regression analysis revealed that postpartum partner support and parenting self-efficacy were independent factors influencing PPD, with odds ratios (95% confidence intervals) of 0.76 (0.61 ~ 0.94) and 0.83 (0.75 ~ 0.93), respectively both p < 0.05.The area under the curve, sensitivity, and specificity for postpartum partner support and parenting self-efficacy were 1.00 (95% confidence intervals 0.99 ~ 1.00), 99.24, and 90.91%.ConclusionPostpartum partner support and parenting self-efficacy independently predict the occurrence of PPD. Healthcare professionals and maternal families should prioritize timely attention to maternal partner support and parenting issues to reduce the occurrence of PPD.

Objectives: Young mothers are vulnerable to postpartum depression due to role transition-related stress. Understanding the causes underlying these stressors is essential for developing effective interventions.Methods: This study analyzed the 2018 Indonesian Basic Health Research data. The Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview was used to assess postpartum depression symptoms in mothers aged 15-24 years with infants aged 0-6 months. In 1285 subjects, the risk factors for postpartum depression were evaluated using multivariate logistic regression.Results: The overall prevalence of depression in the 6 months postpartum was 4.0%, with a higher prevalence in urban areas (5.7%) than in rural areas (2.9%). Urban and rural young mothers showed distinct postpartum depression risk factors. In urban areas, living without a husband (odds ratio [OR], 3.82; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.24 to 11.76), experiencing preterm birth (OR, 4.67; 95% CI, 1.50 to 14.50), having pregnancy complications (OR, 3.03; 95% CI, 1.20 to 7.66), and having postpartum complications (OR, 5.23; 95% CI, 1.98 to 13.80) were associated with a higher risk of postpartum depression. In rural areas, postpartum depression was significantly associated with a smaller household size (OR, 3.22; 95% CI, 1.00 to 10.38), unwanted pregnancy (OR, 4.40; 95% CI, 1.15 to 16.86), and pregnancy complications (OR, 3.41; 95% CI, 1.31 to 8.88).Conclusions: In both urban and rural contexts, postpartum depression relates to the availability of others to accompany young mothers throughout the postpartum period and offer support with reproductive issues. Support from the family and the healthcare system is essential to young mothers’ mental health. The healthcare system needs to involve families to support young mothers’ mental health from pregnancy until the postpartum period.
