“…One reason may be that social support improves an individual's physical health(e.g., increases healthy activities and protective behaviours and promoting a healthier lifestyle) and ability to manage their stress and cope effectively; accordingly, the individual functions better within the family [63]. The other reason may be that the family members provide the most solid support in one's social network [64], partly owing to Chinese culture-speci c norms of reciprocal lial piety [65], therefore, good social support means good family function in Chinese societies.…”

“…The mean score of social support was 40.79 ± 5.95,0.2% (1), 71.6% (351), and 28.2% (138) of participants had low, moderate, and high social support, respectively. The mean score of family function was 8.80 ± 1.89, 85.5% (419) of participants had a good family function, 13.1%(64), and 1.4% (7) of participants experienced moderate and severe family dysfunction, respectively. The mean score of depression was 5.30±3.46, 10.4% (51) of women had signi cant depression symptoms.…”

Background: Perinatal depression is the most common complication of gestation and childbearing affecting women and their families, and good social support and family function are considered the protective and modifiable factors. This study aimed to investigate the depression status and explore inter-relationships between social support and perinatal depression considering the influence of family function in rural areas of Southwest China.Methods: This is a cross-sectional study. The following instruments were used: the Edinburgh Postpartum Depression Scale, the APGAR Family Care Index Scale, and the Social Support Rate Scale. A structural equation modelling was used to test the hypothesis relationships among the variables. Results: A total of 490 rural antenatal (N=249) and postpartum(N=241) women (age: 28.17± 5.12) participated. We found that the prevalence of depression symptoms was 10.4%. Path analysis showed that family function had a direct negative correlation with depression (β =-0.251, 95%CI: -0.382 to -0.118). Social support had a direct positive correlation with family function (β =0.293, 95%CI: 0.147 to 0.434) and had an indirect negative correlation with depression (β =-0.074, 95%CI: -0.139 to -0.032), family function fully mediated the relationship between social support and depression. Conclusions: Findings of this study highlight that family function should be considered as the key target for interventions aiming to lower the prevalence of perinatal depression. Family members interventions are critical to reduce depression among antenatal and postpartum women.

“…Some psychiatric, physiological and socioeconomic variables have been attributed as risk factors or predictors of antepartum depression. They are listed as: sleep deprivation [10], [11], sexual function during pregnancy [12], weak social structure [13], lack of support from family and loved ones [14], obesity [15], trauma, anxiety and violence [16] and unplanned pregnancies [17]. Summary of some factors associated with the prevalence of depressive symptoms in pregnant women is given in Table 1.…”

BACKGROUND: Depression is prevalent during antenatal and postnatal stages of pregnancy. The effect of depression can be seen in complications during and after pregnancy, fetal growth retardation, abortions and preterm births. The literature abounds on postpartum depression (PD) while few studies are on antepartum depression (AD). AIM: The systematic review aims to compute the prevalence of AD from published articles. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The published articles (26) used in this review were obtained from the search of the search keywords “Depressive conditions in pregnancy AND trimesters”. All the articles were considered irrespective of language and their citation status as of the time of the query. Only articles that presented the prevalence mean and sample size were included. Articles on questionnaires filled by nonpregnant women and men were excluded. Articles that presented the prevalence of depression for the postpartum period only were excluded but were included if they addressed depression at both postpartum and trimester(s) of pregnancy. P-value of less than or equal to 0.05 was considered significant. RESULTS: Analysis of the 26 articles showed that 4,303 subjects tested positive for depression in a sample of 28,248 pregnant mothers, giving the prevalence rate as 15%. Confounding was removed, and the sample size was adjusted to be 25,771 and 4,223 were screened to have depressive symptoms, thereby giving a new prevalence rate as 16.4%. It was also revealed that AD is most prevalent in the last trimester of pregnancy and least in the second trimester. Pregnancy duration and PD are not correlated with AD. This implies that AD can be observed in any period of the pregnancy and cannot predict the incidence of PD. CONCLUSION: Efforts must be intensified to monitor pregnant women during the third trimester to reduce the incidence of maternal depression during pregnancy, thereby reducing the prevalence.

“…One reason may be that social support can improve physical health by increasing healthy activities, protective behaviors and promoting a healthier lifestyle, the individual and family functions get better accordingly [61]. Another reason may be that in China the family members normally provide the most solid support in one's social network, good social support usually means good family function [62].…”

Background: Antenatal and postpartum depression is the most common complication of gestation and childbearing affecting women and their families, and good social support and family function are considered the protective and modifiable factors. This study aimed to investigate the depression status and to clarify the interrelationships between social support and depression considering the influence of family function among antenatal and postpartum women in rural areas of Southwest China.Methods: This is a cross-sectional study. Data were collected from a total of 490 rural antenatal (N=249) and postpartum(N=241) women (age: 28.17± 5.12). A structural equation modeling (SEM) was used to test the hypothesized relationships among the variables. The following instruments were used: the Edinburgh Postpartum Depression Scale (EPDS), the APGAR Family Care Index Scale, and the Social Support Rate Scale (SSRS).Results: We found that the prevalence of depression was 10.4%. Path analysis showed that family function had a direct negative correlation with depression (β =-0.251, 95%CI: (-0.382)– (-0.118)). Social support had a direct positive correlation with family function (β =0.293, 95%CI: (0.147– 0.434)) and had an indirect negative correlation with depression (β =-0.074, 95%CI: (-0.139)– (-0.032)), family function fully mediated the relationship between social support and depression. Conclusions: Findings of this study highlight that family function should be considered as the key target for interventions aiming to lower the prevalence of antenatal and postpartum depression. Family members interventions are critical to reduce depression among antenatal and postpartum women.
