PurposeTo determine whether conventional treatment and assisted reproductive technology for infertility are associated with depressive symptoms and to identify the predictors of depressive symptoms during the first 6 months' post‐partum.MethodsA prospective cohort design was used, with the participants being recruited from 13 Japanese hospitals. Using self‐report questionnaires, a total of 2709 women (response rate: 71.9%) provided longitudinal data at five time points: during their hospital stay and at 1, 2, 4, and 6 months' post‐partum. The depressive symptoms were measured by using the Japanese version of the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS). A logistic regression analysis was used to examine the association between the mode of conception and depressive symptoms and to identify the predictors of the depressive symptoms.ResultsThere was no significant association between the mode of conception and the depressive symptoms at any time point. Six factors that were associated with the EPDS score were first‐time childbirth, emergency cesarean delivery, infant feeding, financial burden, having a male infant, and dissatisfaction with social support.ConclusionThere was no significant relationship between the mode of conception and depressive symptoms. Nursing care should be based on individual assessments that focus on parity, the delivery method, infant feeding method, financial burden, the infant's sex, and social support, rather than on the mode of conception.

“…Older mothers lack support with childrearing because their own parents are aging or absent (Yang et al., ), and their husbands are also older (Mori et al., ). Older mothers had ambivalent feelings about making lifestyle changes after delivery, experienced shorter sleep and meal times, were more concerned about difficulties with child care, and felt postpartum fatigue (Tsuchiya et al., ). Despite accessing a large amount of health information regarding child care in preparation for parenting, older mothers felt that actual childrearing was very different from that described in books or on the Internet (Carolan, ).…”

Objective: To identify characteristics of mothers who face difficulties with childrearing.Design and Sample: Cross-sectional study. During 2014, 221 mothers and 248 children living in City A within the Tokyo metropolis were registered as requiring help with childrearing. Nursing records of 205 mothers (92.8%) and their 227 children (91.5%) were available. We excluded 29 mothers and children owing to incomplete data for a final sample of 176 mothers (79.6%) and 198 children (79.8%).Measures: Difficulties with childrearing were assessed by self-reported questionnaires at the newborn child's 4-month health checkups. Data on maternal and child variables were collected from nursing records. Results:The "Difficulties group" included 59 mothers (35.4%) and their 70 children.Logistic regression analysis showed that mothers who were aged 40 years or older, who had a total score on the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale of 9 or greater, who used more child-care support services, and who were monitored more frequently by public health nurses had a high risk of facing difficulties with childrearing. Conclusions:Periodic monitoring by PHNs is a key strategy to improve the impact of the difficulties of childrearing for mothers of yoshien jido and their children.
