Postpartum depression among Pakistani women in Norway: Prevalence and risk factors

Abstract: The prevalence of postpartum depression among immigrant Pakistani women seems to be low compared with the prevalence reported in immigrant populations elsewhere, it was however only slightly lower than the study of ethnic Norwegians (8.9%). The risk factors were similar to results from international reports; moreover, there were few cultural differences in risk factors between ethnic Norwegian and Pakistani immigrants.

“…In addition those mothers who benefited from social support such as having a friend, good relationship with her family as well as in-low family and being supported by husband after delivery feel more confident about their role as a mother and have more satisfaction with motherhood [4].

In the present research, the participants were instructed about having correct insight into the signs of depression in mothers, the negative consequences of depression on the mental and physical health of mother and child, the effect of stress on mother and embryo, the role of mother-child attachment, the effect of being supported by husband and having intimate relationship on treatment and the role of happiness in strengthening family relationship.…”
