“…Although the women appreciated the support received, especially with chores, meals, and infant care, the rituals were also found to be associated with stress, especially if the woman was confined to a small space and if they resided with their in-laws. Leung et al 27 also identified conflict between traditional and modern life as a stressor when investigating the experiences of mothers with PPD in Hong Kong. The depressed mothers reported enjoying some aspects of the postpartum rituals.…”

In many cultures, postpartum rituals are observed because they are believed to have beneficial mental health effects. Our systematic review examines the research literature investigating the effects of postpartum rituals on postpartum depression (PPD) to determine if the rituals protect against PPD. Methods: MEDLINE, CINAHL, PsycINFO, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Library were searched (from 1966 to October 31, 2008). Reference lists of relevant articles and links to related articles were also examined. Both qualitative and quantitative studies that focused on traditional practices and rituals in the postpartum period (that is, within the first year following childbirth) and their relation to PPD or mood were included. Results: Seventy-two studies were considered, with 12 meeting the inclusion criteria. The data were summarized according to the type of ritual including: organized support, diet, and other or multiple postpartum practices, and evidence for or against a protective effect on PPD. Although limited, not all studies suggested that the rituals prevent PPD. Overall, there is some evidence that postpartum rituals dictating appropriate and wanted social support may be of some protective value, depending on numerous contextual factors. Conclusions: This area needs more culturally sensitive and systematic research. Current studies suggest that the key protective element may be the presence of welcome support rather than the specific ritual.

“…Nove trabalhos analisaram relação entre DPP e suporte social em combinação com outros fatores (Dagher et al, 2011;Dennis & Letourneau, 2007;Dindar & Erdogan, 2007;Escribà-Agüir & Artazcoz, 2011;Fonseca et al, 2010;Kirpinar et al, 2010;Leung et al 2005;Özbaşaran et al, 2011;Xie et al, 2010), sendo que, em apenas um estudo (McVey & Tuohy, 2007), foi criado um índice geral de disponibilidade de apoio social, envolvendo oito fontes (parceiro, amigos, mãe, sogra, outras mulheres e homens da família, um visitador domiciliar e o médico). Os autores também usaram as mesmas fontes para criar um índice de satisfação com o apoio social, tendo encontrado que quanto menor a satisfação, maior o nível de sintomas depressivos.…”

“…Xie et al (2010) encontraram que, no período pré-natal, o baixo apoio do marido e dos pais e, no período pós-parto, o baixo apoio dos familiares, marido, pais e irmãs(ãos) estavam associados com aumento do risco de DPP. Finalmente, Leung et al (2005) (Sherbourne & Stewart, 1991), como é o caso de Fonseca et al (2010), avaliaram a frequência com que as mulheres julgavam receber, de fontes não especificadas, cinco tipos de apoio: emocional, afetivo, material, de informação e de interação social positiva.…”

ABSTRACT The Relationship Between Postpartum Depression and Social Support: A Literature ReviewIn order to conduct a systematic review of the scientific literature on the relationship between postpartum (PPD) depression and social support, it was carried out a survey of online articles that have established this relationship. The search for papers published from January 2000 to August 2011 was performed in the databases APA PsycNET, EBSCOhost, Pepsic, PubMed, and Scielo. It was selected studies written in Portuguese or English, that had used quantitative method, the Edinburgh Scale of Post-partum Depression Scale (EPDS), applied between delivery and 12 months from childbirth to evaluate PPD, and social support measures. It was identified 24 articles, conducted in 11 countries. It was examined, besides the association with social support measures, the number and age of participants, EPDS scores, and other factors associated with the occurrence of PPD. Although using different instruments to assess social support, 23 studies (96% of sample size) have found that the higher the social support perceived by mothers, the lower the prevalence of PPD. The results of this work show, particularly for health professionals and health services, the importance of early detection of depression signs, and of the adoption of preventive measures in the care for women during and after pregnancy.Keywords: Postpartum depression; Social support; Bibliographic research. RESUMEN Relación entre Depresión Posparto y Apoyo Social: Revisión Sistemática de la LiteraturaCon el objetivo de hacer una revisión sistemática de la literatura científica sobre la relación entre la depresión posparto (DPP) y el apoyo social, se llevó a cabo una encuesta de artículos online que estableciesen esta relación. La búsqueda de los trabajos publicados entre enero de 2000 y agosto de 2011 se realizó en las bases de dados APA PsycNET, EBSCOhost, Pepsic, PubMed y Scielo. Fueron seleccionados estudios escritos en portugués o inglés, que habían usado métodos cuantitativos, la Escala de Depresión Posparto de Edimburgo (EDPE) para evaluar la DPP y medidas de apoyo social. Se identificaron 24 artículos, realizados en 11 países. En esos trabajos se examinaron la asociación con apoyo social, el número y edad de las participantes, las puntuaciones en la EDPE, aplicada entre o parto y hasta 12 meses después del parto, y otros factores asociados con la ocurrencia de DPP. Aunque fueran utilizados diferentes instrumentos para evaluar el apoyo social, 23 estudios (96 % de la muestra) sugirieron que cuanto mayor sea el apoyo social percibido por las madres, menor es...

“…Some authors advocate for research focused on the socially constructed, gendered values and norms that create or sustain postnatal depression (Edhborg, Friberg, Lyndh, & Widstrom, 2005;Leung, Martinson, & Arthur, 2005;Mauthner, 1999). Based on this approach, the postnatal period is similar to a period of metamorphosis for women.…”
