This study explored barriers to depression treatment in low-income, unmarried, adolescent mothers in a southern, urban area of the United States. The authors utilized a phenomenological approach and focus group methodology. Participants (n = 9) were enrolled in a teen parent program, an option of the public school system. The metaphor of a merry-go-round emerged from the data and represented the ups and downs that the adolescent mothers experience as they struggle to adjust to the role of mother. Their knowledge of postpartum depression and depression treatment occurred in the context of their demographics and their desire to create a family for their baby, their fears, and surprise at the reality of mothering. Childbirth education for adolescent mothers should include information on depression and the process of depression treatment.

“…[26][27][28][29][30][31] On contrary, few studies found that rural residence might be associated with high stress. 32,33 Yet other studies found no significant relationship between depression and place of residence. 30,34 The cause for low stress in rural women according to the authors might be due to the fact that, people in rural communities are more likely than their urban counterparts to live in joint family structure, which will provide necessary support to the female in this vulnerable state.…”

“…Jesse and Swanson (2007) found that rural pregnant women at risk for antepartum depression were almost four times more likely to experience negative stress than those at no risk for depression. However, this may be an underestimation, as pregnant women living in rural areas may not reveal their feelings of sadness and depression to professionals or to family, for fear of being labeled "crazy" or being reported to social services as unfit mothers (Jesse, Dolbier, & Blanchard, 2008). Lack of access to adequate mental health resources and transportation problems also prevent them from seeking medical treatment until late stages of a depressive episode, when symptoms are worse and effective intervention is more difficult (Bloom et al, 2012;Jesse et al, 2008).…”

The purpose of this secondary analysis was to determine whether satisfaction with social support and self-esteem mediated the relationship between antepartum stress and depressive symptoms in women attending prenatal clinics in a rural Southeastern community (N = 318). Path analysis with linear regression indicated that the relationship between antepartum stress and depressive symptoms was partially mediated by higher levels of the internal resources of satisfaction with social support and self-esteem. Self-esteem had a greater influence on the relationship between antepartum stress and depressive symptoms than did satisfaction with social support. These findings suggest further study to determine whether developing culturally tailored interventions that emphasize stress reduction activities in addition to enhancing self-esteem and increasing satisfaction with social support can decrease the burden of antepartum depressive symptoms in rural low-income women.
