“…First, when controlling for concurrent depressive symptoms, the ANCOVA model explained the variance for the PPSS‐S scores to explain depressive symptoms at 6–11 months. As far as we know, no previous studies have explored the relationship between PPSS‐S and the symptoms of depression in a follow‐up design, although this was done in one cross‐sectional study (Persson & Kvist, 2014). A systematic review by Dennis and Dowswell (2013) concluded that the identification of at‐risk mothers helped prevent postpartum depression.…”

“…In a cross-sectional study involving a sample of 113 women, Persson and Kvist (2014) found that a low postnatal sense of security was correlated with depression (r = −0.575) and postnatal anxiety (r = −0.584). Regarding the current understanding of postnatal depression, a recent review by Arifin, Cheyne, and Maxwell (2018) referred to a wide variability in the prevalence ranges of depressive symptomatology occurring within the first postnatal year (4.0-63.9%) as well as between continents (from 4.0% to 16.9% in Japan or 5-63.9% in America); rates of post-natal depression in Europe reach up to 22.8%, and in Spain they are approximately 9.3%.…”

“…Indeed, Dennis and Dowswell (2013) suggested that developing individualized interventions aimed at “at‐risk” mothers for initiation postnatally may be beneficial to prevent postpartum depression. To the best of our knowledge, the causal relationship between the maternal perception of security, a factor that can be modified by professional interventions (Persson & Kvist, 2014; Persson, Fridlund, Kvist, & Dykes, 2012; Premberg, Carlsson, Hellstrom, & Berg, 2011), and depression has not yet been described in follow‐up studies.…”

“…We expect that women who receive more professional support during the first few days after birth, receive consistent information (Karlström, Nystedt, & Hildingsson, 2015; Persson et al, 2011), experience fewer complications—both personally and in their newborn, and mothers with a previous child will have a higher sense of security in the postpartum period (Pålsson et al, 2018). Persson and Kvist (2014) observed a moderately negative correlation between sense of security in the first week after birth and symptoms of postnatal depression. In addition, other studies have shown that, from among several related factors, a sense of control (Keeton, Perry‐Jenkins, & Sayer, 2008) and social and partner‐provided support (Yim, Tanner Stapleton, Guardino, Hahn‐Holbrook, & Dunkel Schetter, 2015), among others, are predictors of depressive symptoms, and moreover, all these factors were directly related to the mothers' sense of security (Karlström et al, 2015; Melender & Lauri, 2002; Namey & Lyerly, 2010; Persson et al, 2011).…”

Postnatal sense of security is a relevant construct related to several variables of motherhood. However, it has not yet been studied in the Spanish context. The aims were: (a) To analyze the psychometric properties of a Spanish version of the Mothers' Postnatal Sense of Security Scale (PPSS-S); (b) analyze the factors related to mothers' sense of security during the first 2 weeks following childbirth (sociodemographic variables and factors related to maternity); and (c) examine the predictive utility that mothers' sense of security has on symptoms of postpartum depression 6-11 months after childbirth. This was a prospective longitudinal study performed in the first 6-11 months post-partum in four regions of Spain. A total of 928 mothers whose mean age was 33.67 years (standard deviation = 4.54) partici

“…In their study, Persson and Kvist (2014) demonstrated a correlation between postnatal feelings of parental safety and the risk of postnatal anxiety and depression, so the PPSS instrument can be used to detect early those at risk of postpartum sadness, anxiety, and depression (17).…”

Development of Mother's Postnatal Sense of Security

Introduction: Although sense of security in mothers is not clearly specified in literature, most important factors that make it up in women that do not have issues in pregnancy are social support, prenatal health care and partner's support. Psychological factors play a key role in recognizing fear of childbirth, distinguishing anxiety from clinical depression. Recognizing risk factors and adequate intervention support would significantly reduce fear. Aim: to analyze development of mother's sense of security during the postnatal period and establish the differences between two study groups. Methods: The Cross section study was conducted in 2017 in the Public Institute for Health care Protection of Women and Maternity in Canton Sarajevo. Using random method in the study were included 395 mothers. The research instrument was PPSSinstrument and modified questionnaire. Results: Postnatal sense of security in n=395 of the mothers on average was 49, 61±7, 6. Mothers' sense of security during the first week after their child's birth differed significantly (p=0.004) between mothers whose husband actively participated in psychophysical preparation for childbirth. Development of parents sense of security is in direct connection with psycho-physical preparations of pregnant women for labor only when both partners took active part in preparations for labor. Conclusion: Postnatal sense of security in parents is a term that has not been researched enough and it requires further studies. Bachelor degree in health care/ graduated nurse/midwife, especially in primary health care field, according to her competencies would be able to independently create and work on promoting prevention programs through holistic approach with individuals and families.

ObjectivePregnancy and childbirth bring not only joy but also a concomitant sense of insecurity, which may adversely affect health, role adaptation, and relationships. This study aimed to explore the risk factors for postpartum mothers' sense of security.MethodsThis cross‐sectional study used questionnaires on Parents' Postnatal Sense of Security, Tilburg Pregnancy Distress Scale, and the Emotional Inhibition Scale. Structural equation modeling was used to calculate the mediating effect.ResultsThe mean postnatal maternal security value was 44.77 ± 9.02. Multiple regression analyses revealed that several factors, including companionship of the partner during pregnancy, number of prenatal visits accompanied by the partner, complications during pregnancy, pregnancy distress, and emotional inhibition, independently predicted maternal security. Moreover, our structural equation model revealed that emotional inhibition significantly influenced maternal postpartum security directly (β = −0.30, P < 0.001). In addition, pregnancy distress affected maternal security directly (β = −0.45, P < 0.001) and indirectly (β = −0.129, P < 0.001) through emotional inhibition.ConclusionThis study indicated a lower level of postpartum maternal sense of security. Emotional inhibition partially mediates the relationship between postpartum maternal sense of security and pregnancy distress. Therefore, health care professionals providing guidance to pregnant and postpartum women on proper emotional regulation and early identification of pregnancy distress may be more effective in enhancing their postpartum sense of security.
