“…However, it was lower than the prevalence reported in studies conducted in the United States 40.4% ( 44 ), UK 47.3% ( 61 ), Mexico 39.2% ( 30 ), Rwanda 37.6% ( 7 ) and Ethiopia 58% ( 56 ). On the other hand, it was higher than the prevalence in studies conducted in Colombia 22.36% ( 9 ), Canada 17.9% ( 63 ), Norwegian 2% ( 28 ), China 13% ( 14 ), Malaysia 12.5% ( 95 ) Australia 19.8% ( 41 ), Asia 20% & 21.8% ( 96 ), Ghana 24.3% ( 50 ) and other parts of Ethiopia (24.9, 26.7, 25.8%) ( 53 , 57 , 58 ). Generally, the discrepancy of the prevalence of depression during the perinatal period might be a result of a difference in assessment tools, geographical areas, sample size, health status & cultures of the study subject and the study setting.…”

“…Perinatal depression, a prevalent mental health issue, affects pregnant individuals and new mothers during the perinatal period, encompassing pregnancy and the postpartum period (1,2). While extensively studied in developed countries, perinatal depression remains a significant concern in developing countries, where healthcare resources may be limited (3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17). Perinatal depression is characterized by the occurrence depressive symptoms during pregnancy and/or within 12 months following delivery (15)(16)(17)(18).…”

BackgroundPerinatal depression, characterized by the presence of depressive symptoms during pregnancy and/or within the first 12 months postpartum, poses a significant global public health concern. It contributes to a multitude of health risks for mothers, their infants, and their families. Understanding of perinatal depression and its associated factors is crucial for effective prevention and intervention strategies. However, there is a lack of comprehensive research on this topic in Ethiopia. Therefore, this study aims to determine the prevalence and factors contributing to perinatal depression among Ethiopian women.MethodsAn institutional-based cross-sectional study was conducted, involving 552 women receiving perinatal services at Kutaber district health institution and Boru Meda General Hospital. Study participants were selected through systematic random sampling techniques. Perinatal depression was assessed using the Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale-21 (DASS-21). The associations between various determinants and perinatal depression were examined using binary logistic regression, and factors with a p-value of less than 0.2 were included in the multiple logistic regression analysis. A p-value less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant.ResultsThe prevalence of perinatal depression was found to be 32.2%. The prevalence of perinatal depression was found to be 32.2%. Factors significantly associated with perinatal depression included being a student [adjusted odds ratio (AOR) = 4.364, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.386, 13.744], experiencing excessive pregnancy-related concerns (AOR = 1.886, 95% CI: 1.176, 3.041), past substance use (AOR = 2.203, 95% CI: 1.149, 4.225), the presence of anxiety symptoms (AOR = 3.671, 95% CI: 2.122, 6.352), experiencing stress symptoms (AOR = 6.397, 95% CI: 3.394–12.055), and daytime sleepiness (AOR = 2.593, 95% CI: 1.558, 4.316).ConclusionThe findings of this study indicate a relatively high prevalence and valuable factors associated with perinatal depression. It highlights the need for a comprehensive approach to perinatal mental health that takes into account not only the biological aspects of pregnancy but also the psychological, social, and lifestyle factors that can impact a person’s mental well-being during this critical period.

This study analyzed the influence of psychological and psychosocial factors of pregnant women at an obstetric level. The possible differences between Spaniards and immigrants were studied. This was a retrospective observational study. The sample has been divided into two study cohorts, one consisting of Spanish pregnant women and one consisting of foreign pregnant women. Both completed the Revised Postpartum Depression Predictors Inventory and the Patient Health Questionnaire-9. A total of 15.9% of Spanish women and 23.2% of immigrants had depressive symptoms. Immigrants claim to have less support at the partner, family, and friendship levels than Spaniards. Moreover, 16.4% of Spaniards vs. 8.1% of immigrants had pregnancy complications; Cesarean section was performed in 16.2% of Spaniards vs. 7.9% of immigrants. A greater number of premature births were detected in immigrants than in Spaniards. Access to universal healthcare is a protective factor against socioeconomic and cultural conditions affecting the mental and obstetrical health of immigrants.
