Analysis of the effect of postpartum rehabilitation nursing on the management of postpartum depression.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To study the effect of postpartum rehabilitation nursing on the management of postpartum depression. METHODS: A total of 100 primiparas were randomly selected in this study. They were divided into postpartum nursing intervention group (50 cases) and control group (50 cases). The data from prenatal and postpartum women were collected through questionnaires. The Edinburgh postpartum depression scale, social support scale, general self-efficacy scale, and mother's role adaptation questionnaire were distributed to 100 pregnant women. By collecting the results of these questionnaires, the differences between the nursing intervention group and the control group were compared. RESULTS: The results showed that the proportion of postpartum depression in 50 primiparas after postpartum rehabilitation nursing was significantly lower than that of the control group. The physiological and psychological changes of primipara after childbirth would be significant, and would be subject to tremendous pressure from all aspects. CONCLUSIONS: This change and pressure were the main causes of postpartum depression in primipara. Postpartum rehabilitation nursing can effectively alleviate primipara's postpartum depression.
