Introduction: Postpartum depression is one of the most important mood disorders following child birth. It typically occurs within the first 6 weeks after delivery and can be associated with disruption in mother-infant relationship. This study aimed to investigate factors associated with postpartum depression among women who gave birth in hospitals in Jiroft city in 2012.
Methods: This cross-sectional study examined included 241 mothers who had recently given birth. Data collection tool included the standard Edinburgh EPDS questionnaire, supplemented with three additional sections of personal characteristics, maternal-neonatal factors, and social factors. Data were entered into SPSS software and analyzed using the chi-square test.
Results: The mean age of the mothers was 27.47 ± 4.5 years. The highest frequency of postpartum depression was observed in the age group younger than 20 years. Postpartum depression was more common among mothers who had undergone cesarean section than those who had vaginal delivery. Postpartum depression was more common among mothers who lacked spousal support and reported problems with their in-laws. Also, analysis of social factors, revealed a statistically significant relationship between postpartum depression and spousal support, problems with the spouse's family, and a history of depression during previous pregnancies (p<0.05). Conclusion: The findings indicated that postpartum depression is associated with individual, maternal-neonatal, social, and economic factors. Paying attention to these factors may help improve postpartum depression screening, planning educational interventions, and promoting psychological services for mothers, which may help reduce risk factors associated with postpartum depression. |
