ABSTRACT
Objective:
To investigate the current status of the postpartum depression in Kaifu District in Changsha,and to explore the influential factors for postpartum depression.Methods:
We selected the mothers,who had a delivery and met the inclusion criteria in Changsha during 2015,as the participants and established a prospective birth cohort study.The social demographic characteristics and health-related information for the mothers and their families were collected by using self-made questionnaire.The mothers' depression symptoms after one month postpartum were assessed by the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale.We used the structural equation model to analyze the influential factors for postpartum depression.Results:
A total of 961 cases were investigated.82 of them whose scores of EPDS were ≥ 9 points,and the incidence of PPD was 8.2%.The results of structural equation model revealed the influential factors and their correlations with postpartum depression.It has been shown that maternal age,maternal education level,per capita income of family,intention of pregnancy,pregnancy-related complications,mode of conception,mode of delivery,feeding patterns,birth weight,baby gender,and infant illness could exert effects on postpartum depression.Conclusion:
The incidence of postpartum depression in Kaifu District is at a low level and the structural equation model can be applied to analyze the influential factors and their relations with postpartum depression.
