“…It is indicated that the symptoms of postpartum depression (PPD) may appear between the first 2 and 4 weeks after birth and may continue for up to 1 year 1,6,7 .

Purpose The aim of this systematic review was to evaluate the effects of the skin‐to‐skin contact (SSC) method on postpartum depression. Design and Methods A systematic review of the literature was performed. Findings This review was completed with three studies meeting the research criteria. Two studies were randomized controlled studies and one study had a quasi‐experimental design. Practice Implications SSC is such a low‐cost intervention that it would be accessible, simple, and feasible for most mothers in the first postpartum weeks. By reducing mothers' depressive symptoms and physiological stress, SSC facilitates mothers' wellbeing and ultimately affects infants' development by enhancing the mother/infant relationship.

“…Among these diseases, postpartum depression is a disorder that progresses with depressive mood, guilt, fatigue, sleep disorders, the loss of appetite, anhedonia, suicidal and/or homicidal thoughts, and other somatic symptoms. 5 It is stated that the mother's low level of education, working, late initiation of breastfeeding, not being sufficiently informed about breastfeeding and not receiving support from healthcare workers, insufficient intrafamilial support, and using a feeding bottle and pacifier cause problems in maintaining breastfeeding. 6 Although it is a significant issue, there are few studies on this issue, and thus, there is a need for studies on problems that prevent maintaining breastfeeding.…”

The inadequacy experienced in maintaining breastfeeding was tried to be understood within the framework of Meleis' theory, and its relationship with growth spurts and postpartum depression was attempted to be revealed. Design and Methods:The study was planned in a case-control type web-based descriptive research design. Mothers (n = 572), who thought that they experienced breastfeeding problems, constituted the case group of the study, and mothers (n = 524), who thought that they did not experience breastfeeding problems, constituted the control group.Findings: A statistically significant relationship was found between the case and control groups in terms of growth spurts and depression risk.Practice Implications: It is recommended to determine mothers' mood changes and breastfeeding problems they experience on the first postpartum days, to provide counseling to them.

“…High levels of estrogen and progesterone throughout the pregnancy period play a role in the etiology of postpartum depression. The most important risk factors are prenatal depression and anxiety, history of previous depression or bipolar affective disorder, postpartum sadness and postpartum depression in previous births, or family history [6,14]. Postpartum depression may negatively affect a mother's abilities, her interaction with the child, the care she gives, her relationships with other family members, and her responsibilities and roles, and may decrease her quality of life [15][16][17][18].…”

The present study aims at determining the effects of home visits and planned training on mothers' postpartum depression and quality of life. Materials and Methods: The sample of quasi-experimental study was consisted of 70 women. Study data were collected by means of a personal information questionnaire, the Edinburgh Postpartum Depression Scale and the World Health Organization Quality of Life Scale (WHOQOL-BREF). Results: The average age of the mothers is between 25.50±4.78. In repeated measurements, statistically significant differences were found among quality of life scores of mothers (p<0.05), and their quality of life scores were found to be higher in the third measurement when compared to the first measurement. In all repeated measurements, a statistically significant negative relationship was found between depression and quality of life scores of mothers (p<0.05), and mothers' depression scores were seen to decrease as their quality of life scores increased. Statistically significant differences (p<0.05) were found among depression scores according to mothers' education level and among quality of life scores according to their number of pregnancies. University graduate mothers' depression scores decreased in the second measurement and scores were the same in the third measurement. In the third measurement, primiparous mothers' quality of life scores were found to be higher than in the first measurement. Conclusions: The study findings demonstrate that mothers are at risk of depression during the postpartum period, postpartum depression negatively affects their quality of life, and home visits and training increase their quality of life and decrease their depression risk.
