“…26 Our study confirmed the idea that the level of education is a contributing factor for postpartum depression taking into consideration that the PPD prevalence is highest in highly educated women that might be related to their life style and involvement in different works and jobs. Our finding contradicts Mohammed et al, 2014 10 and Zagade & Deshpande, 2013 24 studies in which they observed that the prevalence of PPD among high school educated mothers was more than other educational levels.…”

“…Mohammed et al, 2014 reported that socioeconomic status was significantly correlated with PPD (p=0.001) and can be considered as one of the most important factors. 10 Also, this finding was consistent with the Stewart et al, 2010 27 study which highlighted the importance of social factors, especially poverty, as a risk factor for PPD.…”

Maternal postpartum depression has a deleterious effect on the mother and child. The study aimed to assess the prevalence of postpartum depression (PPD) and its determinants, and to examine the relationship between PPD and health related quality of life (HRQOL) among women in Kuwait. A cross-sectional study was conducted in 18 randomly selected vaccination centers, where mothers visited these centers to vaccinate their children. Women who had live births within the last six months were eligible to participate in the study. However, women who: had any disabling condition, were under any psychiatric treatment, had stillbirths, or pregnant were excluded. Self-administered questionnaires including socio-demographic characteristics, recent obstetric history, the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale, and the SF-12, were completed by 658 women with a response rate of 90.6%. The prevalence of PPD was 45.9% (CI: 42.1%-49.8%). Binary logistic regression analysis revealed that low educational level, unplanned pregnancy, no breastfeeding, and past history of PPD were significant determinants to PPD. Moreover, multiple linear regression analysis demonstrated a significant inverse association between PPD and HRQOL (overall, physical and mental health domains). One unit increase in PPD mean total score was associated with reduction in HRQOL overall, physical and mental health domains mean total scores by 1.35, 1.23, and 1.46 respectively. Appropriate measures should be implemented to prevent PPD and its deleterious effects both on mothers and children. Further research, particularly qualitative studies, to explore cultural correlates of PPD in Kuwait is needed.

Postpartum depression (PPD) is a common and complex phenomenon with negative outcomes for children, women and their families. This study set out to identify both direct and indirect predictors of PPD symptoms among indigenous Bedouin mothers in Israel. The study included 305 women, 18 to 45 years of age, who were interviewed while pregnant and again, 2 to 4 months postpartum. Interviews were conducted in Arabic and included the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale, administered at both points of measurement. Using path analyses, we identified four significant, direct predictors of PPD symptoms. The strongest was depressive symptoms when pregnant, followed by low relative income, low hemoglobin, and number of prior miscarriages. The latter was significantly associated with consanguinity, meaning that women married to a first cousin experienced more miscarriages which, in turn, increased PPD risk. Low relative income was the only variable that had both a direct and indirect effect upon PPD symptoms (via symptoms of depression when pregnant and hemoglobin). Education and polygamy also emerged as indirect predictors of PPD via depressive symptoms reported during pregnancy. Results suggest a high rate of PPD in this perinatal sample of indigenous women. Our findings underscore the need for tailored interventions to reduce PPD, especially for low‐income Bedouin women, faced with many barriers and insufficient access to healthcare services.
