ABSTRACT

PURPOSE:

Postpartum depression (PPD) affects 10-15% of postpartum women with increased risk among women with trauma history. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between adverse life events and postpartum depressive symptoms among Bedouin and Jewish women.

METHODS:

A cross-sectional study was performed in a tertiary hospital in the southern district of Israel on women with singleton deliveries between November 2021 and March 2022. Eligible women completed two questionnaires to determine exposure to childhood trauma (CT) and other potentially traumatic events (PTE), including the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire (CTQ), and Lifetime Events Checklist questionnaire (LEC). To measure risk for PPD we used the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS). The associations between CT, PTE, and risk for PPD were analyzed and multivariable logistic regression models were constructed to control for potential confounders.

RESULTS:

A total of 201 women were included, 120 Bedouin (59.7%) and 81 Jewish (40.2%). In the entire study population, both CT and PTE were independently associated with risk for PPD (adjusted OR = 2.13, 95% CI 1.02-4.44, p = 0.043 and adjusted OR = 3.42, 95%, CI 1.46-8.00, p = 0.004, respectively). While among Bedouin women, PTE was independently associated with PPD risk (adjusted OR = 4.83, 95% CI 1.66-14.05, p = 0.004), no significant association was found among Jewish women.

CONCLUSION:

Both CT and PTE were associated with increased PPD risk in Bedouin and Jewish women. Only PTE, and not CT, was associated with PPD among Bedouin women. Understanding risk factors for PPD, and differences among minority groups, could promote prevention efforts for PPD.
