“…Furthermore, marital dysfunction persists long after the female clinically recovers from depression [21]. However, education level, income, husband support, and strong social support were not statistically significant related to PND among female participants in our study in contrast to a similar study done in a neighboring country that is sultanate of Oman [22]. This may be due to the fact that the majority of our respondents were highly educated and had a high income averaging more than 4000US$ per month, these factors make females more independent, have a higher self-esteem, and able to provide a nanny for her new offspring's which is a common practice in this part of the world.…”

“…Although few studies on the prevalence of PND have been conducted in the Arab region including Lebanon, 21% [11]; United Arab Emirates (UAE), 22% [12]; Tunisia, 19.2% [13]; Jordan, 22% [14]; and Bahrain, 37.1% [15]. However, none has been done on (SAM) living in the region including a recent study carried out in Qatar [16] which reported the prevalence of PND at 17.6%.…”

IntroductionPostnatal Depression (PND) is a major health problem affecting mother, her child and family. Its prevalence and associated risk factors among South Asian mothers (SAM) living in Qatar remain unknown. The objectives of this study were to estimate the prevalence of PND among (SEAM) in Qatar and to correlate risk factors contributing to the development of PND.Materials and methodsA total of (285 ) (SAM)females who were six months postpartum were interviewed as part of a prospective study conducted in primary health care centers in Qatar. PND symptoms were defined as present when subjects had an Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale score of 10 or higher. Descriptive statistics were used for summarizing the study and outcome variables. The χ2 test and ORs with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were used for observation and quantifying the association between different variables. Multivariate binary logistic regression was used to identify the independent associated factors of PPD. P≤0.05 was considered significant. Variables included were age , occupation, education level ,previous psychiatric history ,comorbidities , ,history of depression during current pregnancy, history of anxiety during current pregnancy, number of previous pregnancies, strong social support, husband support, marital problem before pregnancy and ongoing marital problems during current pregnancy.Results The prevalence of postnatal depression among 285 respondents was 33.2% .several psychosocial risk factors were significantly associated with postnatal depression and, after multiple regression analysis, a history of depressive illness ,anxiety ,marital problems before delivery ,a history of diabetes and asthma ,history of congenital malformations ,and lack of mother support.Other variables, including age, parity, education, occupation, and delivery type, were not significantly correlated (P=0.15–0.95), but marginally indicative of the risk of depressive symptoms.ConclusionThis study showed a high rate of depressive symptoms among(SAM) six months Postpartum . Future screening protocols must be employed at primary care level and hospital based clinics in Qatar to detect and treat post natal depression.Keywords: postnatal depression, South Asians, primary health care ,Doha, EPDS

“…1,6,8, 12,15,19.20,23,33 Most authors have resorted to a single cross sectional survey in the postpartum period. 1,[5][6][7][8][9][10][11]14,[16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24]26,27,29,[32][33][34] The essential flaw in a single time point evaluation in the postpartum period is over estimating the prevalence as it undermines the importance of, exclusion of cases that may have also pre existing depression in the antepartum period which does not necessarily classify as postpartum depression. Therefore the incidence of the disease is probably a more important estimate than point prevalence as was estimated in most studies.…”

Incidence and prevalence of postpartum depression in a rural community of India

Postpartum depression (PPD) is defined as presence of depressive symptoms in the postpartum period. A seemingly innocuous disorder, if untreated can lead to foeticide or maternal suicide. Unfortunately there are very few studies which have looked into the burden of the disease. The prevalence and incidence of postpartum depression vary across culture, region and communities, with very few studies having addressed the issue, thereby making it difficult to estimate the actual burden of the disease. The present study was undertaken to estimate the incidence and prevalence of postpartum depression in a rural community of India. A cohort of 200 pregnant women were interviewed in the third trimester of pregnancy and subsequently at 6 weeks postpartum to screen for presence and severity of depressive symptoms using BDI, ICD10 and EPDS scores. A cutoff score > 13 was considered as positive for depression in EPDS. The prevalence of PPD was 12% and incidence of PPD 4.4%.

“…Multiparity was thought to increase the risk of PPD by increasing the workload and responsibilities of the mother. In addition, there is an obvious financial burden associated with extra childcare [18]. Conversely, multiparity has been identified as a protective factor - in the United Arab Emirates, for example, primiparous mothers were found to report higher rates of depression [7].…”

BackgroundPostpartum depression (PPD) affects women from different cultures around the world. No previous studies have investigated PPD among women in Palestine. Fertility rates in Palestine are among the highest in the world, hence even low rates of PPD could have considerable national impact. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of, and risk factors for, PPD among Palestinian mothers.Methods101 mothers were recruited during the registration of their child’s birth (within 1 week) at the Bethlehem branch of the Ministry of Interior. Participants were assessed via a face to face interview, and were followed up 1 week, 2 weeks, 6 weeks, 3 months, and 6 months later by telephone interview. Interviews included the Arabic Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS), with PPD indicated by depressive symptoms (EPDS score ≥11) at ≥2 follow-up time points. Pearson’s correlation was calculated between repeated EPDS scores, and multivariable logistic regression was used to investigate risk factors for PPD.ResultsThe prevalence of depressive symptoms was fairly constant (14–19%) over the follow-up period. Most depressive symptoms developed within 1 month of delivery; mothers with depressive symptoms at 3 months postpartum were highly likely to still have symptoms at 6 months. 27.7% (28/101) of women met our criteria for PPD. High parity (odds ratio (OR) 4.52 (95% CI 0.90, 22.8) parity 3+ versus primiparous), unplanned pregnancy (OR 2.44 (0.99, 6.01)) and sex of child not being the one desired (OR 5.07 (1.12, 22.9)) were associated with PPD, but these associations were attenuated in multivariable analysis.ConclusionsThe prevalence of PPD in Palestine appears to be higher than in high income countries, but similar to the prevalence in other Middle Eastern countries. High parity and unplanned pregnancy were identified as risk factors for PPD, suggesting that fully meeting the need for family planning could reduce the incidence of PPD in the Palestinian population.
