“…We also found postpartum depression to be a major factor influencing women’s QoL. Previous studies have reported that postpartum depression reduces QoL in terms of physical and mental health [ 7 , 12 , 14 , 36 ]. Postpartum depression also tends to be exacerbated by postpartum fatigue or the burden of care for newborns in the early postpartum period, and it is highly likely to progress from mild depression to severe depression [ 30 ].…”

“…QoL was measured using MAPP-QOL [ 2 ], for which the Korean version has well-established reliability and validity [ 14 ]. The MAPP-QOL has 40 items and two parts (satisfaction and importance), and the scores are calculated by weighting each satisfaction response with its paired importance response.…”

“…In an Australian study, numerous factors are identified as affecting intimate relationships, including tiredness, changing lifestyles, and body image issues, leading to changes in intimacy [ 13 ]. Marital intimacy affects QoL; good marital intimacy lowers depression and anxiety and improves QoL in postpartum women [ 14 , 15 ].…”

Postpartum women experience various changes in their physical and psychological health and in their relationships with their spouse and newborn. This study aimed to identify and evaluate the factors that affect the quality of life (QoL) of women within six weeks after childbirth. A prospective, cross-sectional correlational study was used. A convenience sample of 179 postpartum women was recruited from four postpartum care centers in South Korea. Participants completed structured questionnaires on postpartum fatigue, postpartum depression, marital intimacy, breastfeeding adaptation, and quality of life. Marital intimacy (β = 0.466, p < 0.001) was the most influencing factor on the QoL of women during the postpartum period. In descending order, postpartum fatigue (β = −0.192, p = 0.001), postpartum depression (β = −0.190, p = 0.001), breastfeeding adaptation (β = 0.163, p = 0.002), and occupation (β = 0.163, p = 0.004) all had a significant influence on QoL (F = 32.09, p < 0.001), and the overall explanatory power was 63.6%. It is necessary to assess and consider the physical, psychological, relational, and demographic factors of women during the early postpartum period. Comprehensive interventions need to be developed to improve the QoL of women during the postpartum period.

“…Findings of this study showed a negative correlation between mean scores of fatigue and PPD with QOL (r = -0.44, P < 0.01, r = -0.42), respectively. Moreover, a positive correlation was observed between fatigue and PPD (r = 0.59, P < 0.001) ( 31 ). In a study by Yeo et al on 211 women during first to third weeks postpartum PPD and QOL were assessed.…”

Background:Postpartum depression (PPD) is a common problem after child's birth and may influence the quality of life (QOL). Investigation of postpartum QOL and depression can be useful for better care for mothers and improvement of their well-being.Objectives:The objective of this study was to assess the life quality in mothers with and without PPD.Patients and Methods:In a prospective study, women who had experienced child's birth with and without PPD were recruited in Kashan-Iran. PPD was measured using the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) and QOL was measured by SF-36 questionnaire. Data collection was conducted at two assessment points: second month (n = 321) and fourth month (n = 300) postpartum. Based on EPDS, a score of 13 or more was defined as PPD. Mean scores of SF-36 questionnaire were compared between women with and without PPD at two assessment points and within each group from the first to the second assessments. Moreover, correlation between scores of EPDS and scores of life quality dimensions were evaluated. Data were analyzed by using the Student’s t-test, Mann–Whitney U-test, ANOVA, Kruskal-Wallis, Chi-square test, Pair t test, Wilcoxon, Pearson and Spearman Correlation Coefficient.Results:Differences in seven out of eight mean scores of QOL dimensions (except role-physical) between depressed and non-depressed women at the first and the second assessments were significant. Results of changes in mean scores of QOL dimensions from the first to the second assessments in each group showed that non-depressed women scored higher in all of eight dimensions with significant differences in two dimensions (bodily pain and role-emotional as well as mental health component). In depressed women, scores of life quality decreased in some of QOL dimensions but differences were not significant. There were significant negative correlations between EPDS scores and scores of seven out of eight SF-36 sub-scales (except role-physical) in addition to physical and mental health components at two assessments. The highest correlation was found between EPDS scores and emotional well-being and total scores of SF-36 dimension at the first and the second assessments (r = -o.489, r = -0.381), respectively.Conclusions:The findings demonstrated that postpartum depression leads to a lower life quality at second and fourth months postpartum. Integration of PPD screening into routine postnatal care is recommended.

“…The Ferrans and Powers QOL Index has 4 major domains: health and physical, social and economic, psychological and spiritual, and family [14]. Also, As mentioned previously, all studies [44][45][46][47] focused on populations with chronic diseases; however, 70% of the mothers in our sample did not have any chronic diseases, and 78% had at least one person to provide support for them. All these factors could explain the lack of correlation between PPF and QOL.…”

The purpose of this study is to explore the relationships among postpartum fatigue (PPF), depressive cognitions, resourcefulness, quality of life, and life satisfaction in Arab postpartum mothers. A conceptual framework is used in this study based on the middle range theory of resourcefulness, which Zauszniewski developed in 2006. The study is a cross-sectional descriptive design with 123 postpartum women who had given birth within the past six months. used WhatsApp and Facebook for recruitment. developed the self-administered online survey in Qualtrics and collected data from 6 January 2017, to 6 February 2017. Correlation analysis is used to address the research aim and used the P value of 0.05 to determine the significance of the results. There were significant correlations among depressive cognitions and resourcefulness, life satisfaction, and quality of life; there were also significant correlations between PPF and life satisfaction, as well as among resourcefulness, quality of life, and life satisfaction. The results of this study emphasized the importance of assessing depressive symptoms and PPF in mothers early in the postpartum period. The results may contribute to designing future intervention studies aimed toward decreasing the risk of mothers with PPF developing more serious depressive symptoms.
