“…Work-related stress was reported in two studies, 2,40 both of which found a statistically significant association with paternal postpartum depression (Table 3). Lack of support from family and friends was reported as a potential risk factor for postpartum depression in six studies, [17][18][19]25,41,42 and a meta-analysis of three of these studies involving 1831 fathers resulted in a pooled OR of 2.29 (95% CI 0.93-5.67; I 2 = 88%; Figure 3). Although all six studies individually identified a statistically significant association, the random effect meta-analytic estimate of the three studies was not significant, which was suggestive of heterogeneity in the effect estimates between studies.…”

Introduction The transition to parenthood is a major life change that may affect the mental well‐being of both mothers and fathers and place them at an increased risk for depression. The objective of our study was to systematically review the literature and identify factors associated with postpartum depressive symptoms in fathers. Material and methods Searches were conducted in PubMed, PsychInfo, Embase, and CINAHL to identify studies published until March 2020. Studies that reported factors associated with depression among fathers were included. The data from these studies were extracted independently by two authors with disagreements resolved by a third author and consensus. The odds ratio (OR) was used as a measure of association between the risk factor and the primary outcome: depression within the first 12 months following childbirth among fathers diagnosed using any method. Summary estimates were calculated using a random effects model. The associations between the risk factors and depressive symptoms were evaluated. Results The search identified 1040 reports. After screening titles and abstracts, 62 full‐text articles were assessed for eligibility and 25 studies involving 13 972 fathers were included in the systematic review. Fathers with a prior mental health illness episode had higher odds of developing depressive symptoms than those with no mental health history (eight studies, n = 3515, pooled OR 6.77, 95% CI 5.07–9.04; I2 = 0%). Other significant risk factors included relationship dissatisfaction (eight studies, n = 6924, pooled OR 1.53, 95% CI 1.29–1.81; I2 = 93%), maternal depression (seven studies, n = 6661, pooled OR 1.66, 95% CI 1.27–2.17; I2 = 88%), financial instability (five studies, n = 3052, pooled OR 2.24, 95% CI 1.44–3.48; I2 = 74%), paternal unemployment (three studies, n = 1505, pooled OR 6.61, 95% CI 1.94–22.54; I2 = 59%), low education level (two studies, n = 1697, pooled OR 3.56, 95% CI 1.06–11.97; I2 = 88%), and perceived stress (two studies, n = 692, pooled OR 1.06, 95% CI 1.02–1.11; I2 = 5%). Lack of support and low parenting self‐efficacy were also associated with paternal postpartum depressive symptoms. Conclusions A history of paternal mental illness, maternal depression, and diverse psychosocial factors were associated with depressive symptoms among fathers postnatally. These findings can guide the development of family‐level interventions for early identification and treatment and social media campaigns to promote help‐seeking behaviors and engagement in preventive strategies.

“…Dejavniki tveganja za pojav poporodne depresije pri očetih so: prisotnost poporodne depresije pri partnerici, depresija v preteklosti, nižja stopnja izobrazbe, slabši ekonomski položaj in trenutno prestajanje travmatične izkušnje, kot so ločitev, resnejša bolezen ali izguba bližnjega sorodnika. Grey et al (2018) k dejavnikom tveganja dodajajo še brezposelnost in previsoka pričakovanja za starševstvo.…”

Uvod: Mednarodne raziskave kažejo, da približno 10 % očetov kaže znake poporodne depresije v obdobju od štirih do šestih mesecev po rojstvu novorojenca. Namen raziskave je bil ugotoviti, ali prevod in priredba Edinburške lestvice poporodne depresije nudi zanesljiv presejalni test za odkrivanje poporodne depresije pri novih očetih.Metode: Izvedena je bila kvantitativna raziskava. S prilagojeno prevedeno Edinburško lestvico poporodne depresije so bili anketirani očetje ob patronažnem obisku 4–6 mesecev po rojstvu otroka. Zajeti so bili vsi primerni kandidati v zdravstvenih domovih v Velenju in Črnučah v Ljubljani, in sicer med avgustom in decembrom 2019 (n = 80), realizacija vzorca je bila 51 (63 %). Koeficient Cronbach alfa za je znašal 0,931. Za analizo podatkov je bil uporabljen hi-kvadrat test.Rezultati: Osem anketirancev (15,7 %) je zbralo dvanajst ali več točk in so zato bili ogroženi za razvoj poporodne depresije. Nihče od anketiranih ni poročal o misli ali namerah o samomoru. Povprečno število doseženih točk je bilo 6,76 (s = 3,99). Najvišje število zbranih točk je bilo 16, zbral jih je en anketiranec (n = 1, 1,96 %).Diskusija in zaključek: Kljub majhnemu vzorcu, ki onemogoča posplošitev rezultatov, se v pilotni raziskavi ugotavlja podoben delež za poporodno depresijo rizičnih očetov kot v tujih raziskavah. Smiselno je torej obravnavati tudi duševno dobrobit očetov v prvem poporodnem letu, saj lahko stiska enega od partnerjev vpliva na celotno družino.

Objectives The prevention and control of the COVID-19 pandemic might associate with paternal perinatal depression during their partners' delivery. This study aims to investigate the prevalence of paternal perinatal depression exposure to the COVID-19 pandemic and to determine the risk factors. Design This is a cross-sectional study Population The participants of perinatal fathers were recruited in one hospital during December 31, 2019 to April 11, 2020 in Wuhan. Methods The Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) and the APGAR family function scale was used to evaluate paternal perinatal depression and family function, respectively. The chi-square tests and multivariable logistic regression were applied for data analysis. Results There were 1,187 valid fathers included and the prevalence of paternal perinatal depression was 13.82%. Compared with fathers recruited before the announcement of human-to-human transmission, fathers showed significantly lower risk of perinatal depression (OR=0.54, 95% CI: 0.34, 0.87; OR=0.30, 95% CI: 0.14, 0.63; respectively) during traffic restriction period and public transportation reopened period in Wuhan. Low or fair of family function significantly associated with elevated risk of paternal perinatal depression (OR=2.45, 95% CI: 1.56, 3.83). Moreover, fathers reported low family income, poor sleep quality, and smoking were significantly associated with increased risks of perinatal depression. Conclusions Paternal screening was suggested to early detect perinatal depression during the COVID-19 pandemic. Traffic restriction and good family function have positive impacts on paternal perinatal depression. These results could provide some evidence for health authorities to formulate targeted prevention and control strategies on paternal perinatal depression.
