“…These findings indicate that being young and having a baby briefly soon after marriage could contribute to development of PPD. In support, being particularly young was associated with PPD in other studies 15,20. Such findings are important for the family planning of young newly married couples that want to postpone pregnancy, as well as for providing effective interventions to prevent postpartum depression for individuals at risk.…”

“…During the postpartum period, 4.8% of participants had depressive symptoms; this rate was lower than the estimated prevalence of PPD in Turkey, which was reported to be 23.8% in a recent meta‐analysis . There are studies showing lower rate (1.4%) in South Korea, (5.4%) in the Netherlands and higher rate such as 12% in the Maldives, and 21.3% in Tabriz, Iran . Several protective factors from developing PPD described in the literature including social support from family members and friends .…”

“…Nevertheless, antenatal depressive symptoms are a well-established predictor for PPD. 12,13,20,30 The result of the study could have derived from the considerably low rate of PPD (4.8%) in the sample. However, a history of having received professional psychological care was a risk factor of PPD, which is consistent with the literature, meaning that a history of mental disorder could be a predictor for PPD.…”

“…11 Previously identified risk factors of PPD include sociodemographic characteristics of women and their families (eg, primary education compared with secondary education, 4 advanced age, 15 large family structure, and low household income), health-related characteristics of women (eg, physical and mental health problems), and characteristics of healthcare and delivery services (eg, type of delivery and provision of antenatal care). 4,8,12,15,20 Along with those psychological and social risk factors, researchers have determined some biological risk factors of PPD that may contribute to its etiology. 7 Less known about risk factors for depression during pregnancy and postpartum and there is a need for cohort studies to expand our overall understanding of postpartum depression.…”

Purpose The aim was to determine the prevalence and risk factors of postpartum depression, and changes over time from pregnancy to postpartum period. Design and Methods A prospective cohort study was conducted in 23 cities in Turkey, with 497 pregnant women. Findings Of women, 13.5% had a high level of depressive symptoms during pregnancy and 4.8% during the postpartum period. Significant relationships emerged between total Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale score and mean age of participants and their husbands, duration of marriage, parity, and history of receiving professional psychological support. Practice Implications Family planning education could be an important intervention to prevent depression in young couples.

Purpose Postpartum depression received almost no attention in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The aim was to examine the prevalence of depressive symptomatology and the associated risk factors among women in the UAE. Methods A prospective cohort study recruited women from postpartum wards in hospitals across four emirates in the UAE. Women completed questionnaires immediately after childbirth and at 3 and 6 months postpartum. Depressive symptomatology was measured using the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS > 12). Risk factors were identified using the generalized estimating equation. A stratified analysis of the postpartum period was performed. Results Among the 457 women recruited, 35% exhibited depressive symptomatology within the first 6 months postpartum. Younger women (< 25 years), part-time employment, the receipt of financial support from the family, and difficulty in managing monthly income were associated with a higher risk of postpartum depression. Husband’s employment, husband’s support, and living in own house were associated with a lower risk of postpartum depression. Maternity leave of more than 3 months increased the risk of depression during the first 3 months postpartum. From 3 to 6 months postpartum, Muslim women had a higher risk of depression whereas women who breastfed other children and in the past 7 days, and perceived their infant as healthy had a lower risk of depression. Conclusions The prevalence of maternal depressive symptomatology is considerable in the UAE. Risk factors change over the 6-month postpartum period suggesting the need for an innovative multidisciplinary approach to the management of postpartum depression, including follow-up screening.
