“…Violence rates obtained in our sample group were similar to other results obtained in Turkey. A study in Canada reported that emotional abuse is correlated with postpartum depression while sexual and physical abuse show no relationship with postpartum depression [12]. In contrast with these results obtained by Cohen et al [12], Sorbo et al report that women most often report exposure to emotional abuse, but that all forms of abuse increase their risk for postpartum depression [15].…”

“…Community health studies should be undertaken to identify factors that lead to depression, with the goal of decreasing the risk of postpartum depression. Some studies have shown a relationship between postpartum depression and abuse in women exposed to domestic violence postpartum [7,[11][12][13][14][15]. However, we do not have adequate knowledge about the effects of past or current domestic violence on postpartum depression.…”

ÖzetAmaç: Eş tarafından kadına yönelik şiddetin depresyonu tetiklediği bildirilmektedir. Bu çalışmada postpartum dönemde depresyon geçiren ve geçir-meyen kadınlardaki eş şiddetine maruziyetin postpartum depresyona etkisinin araştırılması amaçlandı. Gereç ve Yöntem: Aile hekimliğince gebelik takibi yapılan ve doğum sonrası izlemi yapılan postpartum döneminin 4. haftasın-da olan kayıtlı 128 kadın olgu çalışmaya dahil edildi. Daha önce ruhsal hastalık öyküsü ve ilaç kullanımı olmayan postpartum dönemindeki kadınların psikiyatrik değerlendirmesi yapıldı. Edinburgh doğum sonrası depresyon ölçeği (EDSDÖ) ve tarafımızca hazırlanan sosyodemografik form verildi. EDSDÖ'de depresyon saptanan ve saptanmayan olguların şiddete maruziyetleri ve sosyodemografik özellikleri uygun istatistiksel yöntemler ile karşılaştırıldı. Bulgular: EDSDÖ puanlarını 12 ve üzerinde olanları depresyon kabul ederek yapılan gruplamada, olguların %43.7'sinde (n=56) depresyon saptanmazken, olguların 72'sinde (%56.3) postpartum depresyon saptanmıştır. Depresyonu olan olguların yaş ortalaması ve evlilik süresi depresyonu olmayan olgulardan istatistiksel olarak anlamlı yüksek bulunmuştur (sırasıyla p=0.035 ve p=0.003). Postpartum depresyonu olan olguların duygusal ve fiziksel şiddete maruziyet oranı postpartum depresyona uğramayan olgulara göre istatistiksel olarak anlamlı yüksek bulundu (sırasıyla p<0.001 ve p=0.047). Gruplar arasında ekonomik ve cinsel şiddete maruziyet açısından anlamlı bir farklılık saptanmadı. Tartışma: Duygusal şiddet postpartum depresyon gelişiminde önemli bir risk faktörüdür. Evlilik ve duygusal şiddete maruziyet süresinin uzaması postpartum depresyon riskini arttırmaktadır. Ruh sağlığı çalışanları duygusal şidde-tin travmatik etkisine de odaklanarak, destekleyici yaklaşımlarda bulunmaları postpartum depresyon gelişme olasılığını azaltabilir. Gelecekte elde edilen bulguların daha geniş örneklemli ve uzunlamasına çalışmalarla desteklenmesi konunun netleşmesine katkı sağlayacaktır. depression were found to be statistically significantly higher than for those that did not score as depressed (respectively p=0.035 and p=0.003). Rates of exposure to emotional and physical abuse were statistically significantly higher for depressed women (respectively p<0.001 ve p=0.047). We did not find any significant differences between the groups in terms of their exposure to economic and sexual abuse. Discussion: Emotional abuse is an important risk factor in the development of postpartum depression. Greater length of marriage and exposure to emotional abuseboth increase the risk for postpartum depression. Mental health personnel should focus on the traumatic effects of emotional abuse. Larger sample sizes and longitudinal studies are needed to further support these finding. Anahtar Kelimeler

“…When women were in a depressed mode, they felt anxious and insecure; men, however, expressed irritation, aggression, nonsocial behaviour, drug abuse, and low impulse control. These feelings can lead to jealousy towards the child, feelings of alienation, and a change in sexual life, which in turn can lead to violence against the partner (Cohen, Ansara, Gallop, Stuckless, & Stewart, 2002).…”

The aim of this phenomenological study was to describe fathers' experiences of childbirth education. Ten fathers were interviewed 2-4 months after the birth of their first child. The researchers analysed the interviews. The study's findings show that childbirth education creates preparedness for birth and fatherhood, but it has a secondary role for fathers. Thus, the fathers' transition becomes more complicated due to a focus on their secondary role. The opportunity to receive information that addresses the needs and concerns of fathers, specifically, and to develop male group discussions is needed to build networks and support the transition to fatherhood.Journal of Perinatal Education, 15(2), 21-28, doi: 10.1624/105812406X107780 Keywords: expectant fathers, childbirth education, experience, transition In many western societies, men have traditionally assumed the role of breadwinner in the family. During the last few decades, however, men have been more involved in domestic labour and childcare. Fathers' participation in childbirth education and how to prepare men for fatherhood are now an interest of researchers in different countries (Draper,

“…36 In a second Canadian study, 200 women recruited from the postpartum wards of six Toronto-area hospitals were assessed by telephone at 8-10 weeks postpartum. 37 History of abuse was determined using the Conflict Tactics Scale or the Abuse Assessment Screen, and PPD was assessed using the EPDS. Only history of emotional abuse, and not physical or sexual abuse, was associated with elevated risk for EPDS score !12 (adult emotional abuse OR ¼ 3.39, 95% CI 1.37-8.38; any emotional abuse OR ¼ 3.02, 95% CI 1.23-7.44).…”

Background: Although much is known about risk factors for postpartum depression (PPD), many potentially important clinical variables have still not been investigated. In this systematic literature review, we examine the published evidence for the prevalence of PPD among three populations of women commonly seen by providers of perinatal care: women who use substances, women with current or past experiences of abuse, and women with chronic illness. Methods: We searched Medline, CINAHL, EMBASE, PsycINFO, and the Cochrane Library from their start dates through to August 1, 2008, using keywords relevant to depression and each of the three target clinical populations. All published, peer-reviewed papers in English or French were included in the review if a standardized assessment of depression between 3 and 52 weeks postpartum was used and if either the prevalence of PPD in the target population or a comparison of depression scores between the target population and a control group were reported. Results: Seventeen papers were included in the review. There were high rates of PPD among substance-using women and those with current or past experiences of abuse. However, little evidence was found to suggest an increased risk for depression among women with chronic illness. Conclusions: Few eligible studies were identified for each clinical population of interest. Despite limitations of the studies reviewed, the results indicate that both substance use and current or past experiences of abuse are associated with increased risk for PPD. Targeted clinical interventions for these women may be beneficial.
