“…Also, the mothers expressed more concern about their pregnancy and related risks in the present study which may have increased their stress level. Similar results were observed in the study conducted by Alikamali et al [25] where women between age of 28 to 33 had 1.98 times and 34 to 36 had 2.09 times higher odds of risk of postpartum depression. In the study conducted by Cantilino et al [26], mothers with age >31 years had 2.223 times higher odds risk.…”

Postpartum depression is most common public problem which occurs during postpartum period. If it was unrecognized and undiagnosed it may affect the health of the mother. With this present study was designed to study the prevalence of postpartum depression and identify the influence of selected demographic, personal and child factors on postpartum depression. A differential design was used to compare mothers with postpartum depression and mothers without postpartum depression during postpartum period. A convenient sample of 164 postpartum mothers were selected randomly in the Viajayanagar district of Karnataka state. A self- structured interview schedule to elicit the demographic information and personal characteristics about mother and the infant was used. Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) by Cox et al. [1] and Socio-Economic Status (SES) by Aggarwal et al. (2005) were also used for the study. The results of the study revealed that overall prevalence rate postpartum depression was 42.70 per cent (70 out of 164). Mothers between 31 to 35 years had higher odds of risk (OR=3.02, 95%CI =0.1.18, 7.68) of having postpartum depression and mothers between 25 to 30 years had (OR=0.77, 95%CI =0.36, 1.66) 0.77 times risk of having postpartum depression. There was a significant association found between age of the mother and postpartum depression. The factors associated with postpartum depression were age of the mother, mothers age at marriage, number of years of marriage, occupation of the mother, size of the family, gender of the infant, mode of breast feeding and age and birth weight of the child. There is a need to design the suitable intervention programmes to eliminate the such contributory factors which can substantially help to improve the emotional well-being of women in the vulnerable postnatal period.

Objectives: The present study aimed to investigate the potential determining factors responsible for the mental health problems during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: The databases including PubMed/MEDLINE, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library were searched for the required articles in February, 2021. The quality of the studies was determined based on the STROBE checklist. Results: A total of 31 articles were included in this systematic review. Stopped in-person prenatal care and using the phone for prenatal care were significantly associated with greater changes of anxiety during COVID-19. Parity, gestational age, and pregnancy complication were found to be statistically and significantly associated with anxiety. Social and family supports were specifically associated with reduced anxiety. Women with low body mass index (BMI) were detected to be more prone to developing depression and anxiety. While obesity had protective effects on depression, stress and anxiety, lower sleep quality, lower household income, lower physical health, and less physical activity were found associated with higher anxiety levels. Other significant factors related to mental health included employment status, employment status, marriage status, household size, educational level, ethnicity, knowledge score, marital life satisfaction, and fear of the COVID-19 infection. Conclusions: Clinical, economic, and socio-demographic physical health were associated with mental health problem during COVID-19. Therefore, it was recommended that the potential determining factors should be further explored and identified in order to help protect people against mental health problems.

Background: One of the most important causes of anxiety during pregnancy is postpartum anxiety and the effects that this anxiety can have on the health of mother and infant and the role that studies have considered for spiritual health in promoting mental health. Objective: The aim of this study is to investigate the correlation between anxiety and spiritual health of mothers with cesarean section and vaginal delivery. Methods: This study was performed on 171 women referred to Amir al-momenin (PB) in Gerash Hospital (Fars, Iran) from August 2017 to October 2018. Convenience sampling was used. Data were collected through Demographic Information Questionnaire, Spielberger Anxiety Inventory, and Pulotzin and Ellison Spiritual Health Questionnaire. Data were analyzed by descriptive statistical methods including mean, standard deviation and frequency percentage and analytical methods such as independent t-test and Pearson correlation. Results: There was no significant difference between the mean of total score of anxiety (P = 0.560) and spiritual health (P = 0.313) in mothers with cesarean section and vaginal delivery). There was no significant correlation between maternal spiritual health, maternal anxiety, cesarean delivery (r = -0.111, p = 0.269) and vaginal delivery (r = 0.152, p = 0.209). Conclusion: In this study, anxiety and spiritual health were not different among cesarean section and vaginal delivery women and unlike other studies, no correlation was found between spiritual health and anxiety. However, further studies in this field and attention to other strategies to control labor anxiety among women seem necessary.
