ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVES:
The aim of the study was to identify socio-economic factors that may influence the emotional changes which occur among new mothers in the first days postpartum. MATERIAL ANDMETHODS:
A group of 541 women completed a questionnaire consisting of 30 multiple-choice questions, Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS), and Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS). Statistical calculations were performed with the use of Statistica v.10 and Cytel Studio v. 9.0.0.RESULTS:
The findings revealed the presence of factors which might increase the risk of mood disorders during the postpartum period.CONCLUSIONS:
Women who demonstrate warning symptoms should be screened for postnatal emotional changes and mood swings during their hospitalization after delivery. EPDS seems to be a suitable tool for early detection of emotional disturbances.Palavras-chave
