“…This result was also found in several other studies [33–36] that attribute this to a lower income being connected with a low level of education. In our study however the secondary education was found to be a protective factor (OR = 0.6, p = 0.026) in the prenatal period in a multivariate analysis.…”

Sociodemographic and delivery risk factors for developing postpartum depression in a sample of 3233 mothers from the Czech ELSPAC study

BackgroundIn the postpartum period, certain groups of women are at a higher risk for developing depressive episodes. Several studies have described risk factors for developing postpartum depression (PPD). However, these studies have used limited numbers of participants, and therefore the estimated prevalence of PPD varies greatly.MethodsThe objective of this study is to identify the main risk factors for developing PPD by using data collected via the Czech version of the European Longitudinal Study of Pregnancy and Childhood (ELSPAC). This database provides a representative sample (n = 7589) observed prospectively and a large amount of data on depressive symptoms and on biological, socioeconomic, and environmental factors.The Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) was used to screen for incidence of PPD. The affective pathology was examined at three time points: before delivery, 6 weeks after delivery, and 6 months after delivery.ResultsThe prevalence of depressive symptoms before delivery was 12.8%, 6 weeks after delivery 11.8%, and 6 months after delivery 10.1%. The prevalence rates are based on women who completed questionnaires at all three time-points (N = 3233).At all three time points, the main risk factors for developing PPD identified as significant by both univariate and multivariate analysis were personal history of depressive episodes and mothers experiencing psychosocial stressors. Other risk factors occurring in both types of analysis were: family history of depression from expectant mother’s paternal side (prenatal), mothers living without partners (6 weeks postpartum) and feelings of unhappiness about being pregnant (6 months postpartum). Several protective factors were also observed: male child gender (prenatal), primiparous mothers (6 months postpartum), and secondary education (prenatal, only by multivariate analysis).Significant risk factors found solely by univariate analysis were family history of depression in both parents of the expectant mother (prenatal and 6 weeks postpartum), family history of depression from subject’s maternal side (6 months postpartum), unintentional pregnancy (prenatal and 6 weeks postpartum), feelings of unhappiness about being pregnant (prenatal and 6 weeks postpartum), primary education (prenatal and 6 weeks postpartum), mothers who opted not to breastfeed (6 months postpartum) and mothers living without partners (prenatal and 6 months postpartum). Family savings were identified as protective factor (prenatal and 6 months postpartum).ConclusionsWe identified significant predictors of PPD. These predictors can be easily detected in clinical practice, and systematic screening can lead to identifying potentially at risk mothers. Since the risk is linked with experience of psychosocial stressors it seems that they might benefit from increased psychosocial support to prevent affective pathology.

Maternal depression, a non-psychotic depressive episode of mild to major severity, is one of the major contributors of pregnancy-related morbidity and mortality. Maternal depression (antepartum or post partum) has been linked to negative health-related behaviours and adverse outcomes, including psychological and developmental disturbances in infants, children, and adolescents. Despite its enormous burden, maternal depression in low-income and middle-income countries remains under-recognised and undertreated. In this Series paper, we systematically review studies that focus on the epidemiology of perinatal depression (ie, during antepartum and post-partum periods) among women residing in low-income and middle-income countries. We also summarise evidence for the association of perinatal depression with infant and childhood outcomes. This review is intended to summarise fi ndings from the existing literature, identify important knowledge gaps, and set the research agenda for creating new generalisable knowledge pertinent to increasing our understanding of the prevalence, determinants, and infant and childhood health outcomes associated with perinatal depression. This review is also intended to set the stage for subsequent work aimed at reinforcing and accelerating investments toward providing services to manage maternal depression in low-income and middle-income countries.

“…This has been studied and is reportedly less than in other populations e.g. pregnant women, patients with cancer or diabetes in Jordan [64][65][66] , Americans with CVD [54,67] , and Korean patients with CVD [46] . However, it may not be identified or acknowledged in Jordanian men.…”

Background: Smoking is the most preventable cause of death worldwide. Despite the high prevalence of smoking and cardiovascular disease (CVD) in Jordan, little is known about smoking in hospitalized patients with CVD. Objectives:To describe the perceptions, history, and patterns about cigarette and water pipe smoking in hospitalized patients with CVD in Jordan.Methods: Across-sectional design and convenience sampling method were used to recruit a total of 112 men who were hospitalized with CVD. A structured interview was used to obtain the data. Results:The subjects were men, and the majorities were middle-aged, married, highly educated, and employed. About 12% of the subject had major depression. Most of the men (91%) were daily cigarette smokers. The majority of subjects reported that smoking was allowed inside their home (89.3%) and in the presence of children (64%). About 43% of subjects smoked >20 cigarettes per day and 63% of subjects smoked their first cigarette within 30 minutes after waking. Most of the water pipe smokers (66.7%) preferred to smoke their water pipe while socializing with friends. More cigarette smokers (77%) than water pipe smokers (40%) believed that smoking is addictive. A logistic regression analysis showed that men with less than high school education (OR: 4.18, 95% CI: 1.16, 15.13), and who smoked more than 20 cigarettes per day (OR: 7.34, 95% CI: 2.53, 21.33) were inclined to smoke their first cigarette within 30 minutes after awakening in the morning (high nicotine dependence); suggesting that they were addicted. Conclusion:Smoking is highly prevalent among hospitalized patients with CVD. Strategies are needed to screen these patients for smoking status. Concerted efforts are needed to implement tailored smoking cessation programs with education, counseling, and pharmacological support.
