“…Conflicting findings have been reported as to whether employment status is a definite predictor for postpartum depression symptoms. For example, employed mothers were more likely to have fewer postpartum depression symptoms [ 28 ] while the opposite have also been reported [ 29 ]. It is likely that multiple work-related factors, such as workload, organizational support, and relationship with colleagues, also play a role.…”

Postpartum depression (PPD) is one of the mental health complications that may arise following childbirth. This cross-sectional study explores the association between socioeconomic factors and PPD literacy with PPD incidence in 350 participants (mean age: 30.58±4.72 years) at one to six months postpartum, who attended the Kuala Lumpur Health Clinic from May to October 2020. PPD incidence and literacy were assessed using the validated Malay versions of the Edinburgh Postpartum Depression Scale (EPDS) and the Postpartum Depression Literacy Scale (PoDLiS), respectively. The participants’ socioeconomic characteristics were collected using a self-administered questionnaire. Chi-square tests were performed to determine the association between these factors and PPD incidence. Binary logistic regression models were used to determine the odds ratios (OR). The incidence of postpartum depressive symptoms was 14.29%. Those with low household income were twice likely to have PPD symptoms (OR:2.58, 95% CI:1.23–5.19; p = 0.01) than those with higher incomes. Unemployment (i.e., participants who were housewives/homemakers) was associated with higher PPD incidence (Χ2(2, 350) = 6.97, p = 0.03), but it was not a significant PPD predictor. In conclusion, PPD incidence in the sample of Kuala Lumpur postpartum mothers is significantly associated with low household income. Other socioeconomic characteristics, including PPD literacy, were not significant predictors of PPD incidence.

Identification of mothers with depression is important because untreated perinatal depression can have both short- and long-term consequences for the mother, the child, and the family. This review attempts to identify the prevalence of antenatal and postnatal depression (AD and PD, respectively) of mothers among the ASEAN member countries. A literature review was conducted using PubMed, Scopus, and the Asian Citation Index. The reviews covered publications in peer-reviewed journals written in the English language between January 2010 and December 2020. Of the 280 articles identified, a total of 37 peer-reviewed articles conducted in 8 out of 11 ASEAN member countries were included. The Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) was the most common instrument used to identify depression. This study showed the number of studies reporting the prevalence of AD was 18 in five countries. For PD, 24 studies in eight countries were included. The prevalence of AD ranged from 4.9% to 46.8%, and that of PD ranged from 4.4% to 57.7%. This first review among ASEAN countries showed very few studies conducted in lower-middle-income and substantial heterogeneity in prevalence among studies reviewed. Further research should be conducted to estimate the prevalence using a large representative sample with a validated assessment tool among the ASEAN countries.

“…They are also less awar e of available PPD treatments that they can avail of. Only a small fraction knows about and has utilized it (Labrague et al, 2020). The low turnout of mothers seeking medical treatment for postpartum can be attributed to the expensive nature of the psychological treatment.…”

Postpartum depression (PPD) is a debilitating mental condition that mothers from low socio-economic backgrounds are more susceptible to acquiring. The study examined the socio-economic barriers affecting mothers’ motivation to seek medical PPD treatment using a descriptive correlational research design. A purposive sampling technique was used to recruit eighteen (18) mothers aged 20 - 39 years old who scored below 20 on the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS). The study’s findings suggested that educational attainment and health care insurance significantly correlate with mothers’ perceived barriers. Regarding their access to maternal postpartum care, age, income, educational attainment, and health care insurance directly correlate to their seeking attitude. Finally, financial and social barriers significantly impact the mothers’ access to maternal postpartum care, while geographic factors show no direct correlation. The study recommended coming up with means to alleviate economic constraints and the stigma of PPD to increase mothers’ motivations in seeking medical PPD treatment. Furthermore, the output of this study is aimed at developing an educational and livelihood program to alleviate financial and social barriers for mothers seeking PPD treatment.
