Abstract: (4 Views)
Introduction: Postpartum depression is one of the most important postpartum mood disorders that occurs in the first 6 weeks after delivery and can be associated with disruption in mother-child relationships. This study aimed to investigate the factors related to postpartum depression in hospitals in Jiroft city in 2022.
Methods: This was a cross-sectional study in which 241 mothers who had given birth were examined. The data collection tool included the standard Edinburgh EPDS questionnaire, to which three sections of personal characteristics, maternal-neonatal factors, and social factors were added. The 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 number of postpartum depression was seen in the age group less than 20 years. Postpartum depression was more common in people with cesarean section than in those with vaginal delivery. Postpartum depression was more common in those who did not have spousal support and had problems with their spouse's family than in other groups. Also, in examining social factors, there was a significant relationship between spousal support, problems with their spouse's family, and a history of depression in previous pregnancies with postpartum depression (p<0.05). Conclusion: The findings showed that postpartum depression is influenced by individual, maternal-neonatal, social, and economic factors. Paying attention to these factors can be useful in improving screening, planning educational interventions, and promoting psychological services for mothers, which may help reduce risk factors associated with postpartum depression. |
