Abstract:

Zusammenfassung.Theoretischer Hintergrund: Es ist umstritten ob sich postnatale gegenüber zu anderen Zeiten auftretenden Depressionen bei Frauen hinsichtlich der Prävalenz und Bedingungsfaktoren unterscheiden. Fragestellung: Unterscheiden sich postnatale von später auftretenden Depressionen hinsichtlich Praevalenz und bedingenden Faktoren? Methode: Prospektive Langzeitstudie von 1329 Müttern und ihren Kindern von der Geburt bis zum 7. Lebensjahr. Ergebnisse: Nach DSM-IV-Kriterien entwickelten 3.3% der Mütter eine postnatale Depression und weitere 3.6% eine Depression zwischen dem 2. und 7. Lebensjahr des Kindes. Obstetrische Belastungen zeigten nur dann Zusammenhänge mit postnataler Depression wenn Frauen eine psychiatrische Vorgeschichte hatten und das Neugeborene neonataler Intensivversorgung bedurfte. Psychosoziale und familiäre Belastungen zeigten deutliche Zusammenhänge mit dem Auftreten von Depression. Postnatal und später auftretende Depression wurden am besten durch eine Vorgeschichte depressiver Erkrankung erklärt. Schlußfolgerungen: Postnatale und später auftretende Depression unterscheiden sich kaum hinsichtlich der Schwere oder der psychosozialen Bedingungsfaktoren.

Abstract:

Although breastfeeding has multiple benefits for baby and mother, including maternal mental well-being, many mothers terminate breastfeeding earlier than they desire. We examined two key factors in breastfeeding duration and maternal mental health––breastfeeding efficacy and family–work conflict. Specifically, we examined the moderating role of family–work conflict in the process of breastfeeding efficacy as a predictor of maternal depression by way of duration. In a sample of 61 first-time mothers, we found that breastfeeding duration mediated the relation between prenatal breastfeeding efficacy and depression at 9 months postpartum for working mothers who experienced low levels of family-to-work conflict. That is, for mothers with low family-to-work conflict, higher expected breastfeeding efficacy during pregnancy predicted a longer duration of breastfeeding, which in turn was associated with lower depression at 9 months postpartum. However, for working mothers with high family-to-work conflict, breastfeeding duration did not emerge as an indirect effect on the relation between efficacy and depression. These findings have important implications for a healthy family–work balance to help new mothers adjust when they return to the workforce and as they transition to parenthood.

Abstract:

Women with postnatal depression are often reluctant to take medication postnatally and access to psychological therapies is limited. Exercise offers a freely available treatment option but depressed mothers’ experience of exercise has not been investigated. We conducted a qualitative study nested within a randomised trial of an exercise intervention for women with postnatal depression. Women described deterioration in their sense of identity postnatally and through experiencing depression and described the positive impact exercise had on their sense of self. Views of exercise as treatment for postnatal depression ranged from doubts about its practicality to positive comparisons with other traditional treatments and to improved recovery.

Abstract:

BackgroundWe compare and contrast some correlates of paternal and maternal depression after the live birth of a first child, as part of a longitudinal study.MethodFifty-four first-time mothers attending obstetric services in Oporto, Portugal, and 42 of their husbands or partners participated in a longitudinal study of their mental health. All subjects were given a semi-structured clinical interview (SADS) at six months antenatally and at 12 months postnatally and sub-samples were interviewed at three months postnatally. At all these times all the mothers and fathers also completed a translated version of a self-rating scale for depression, the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) and a series of other questionnaires and interviews to measure different psychosocial variables. Profiles of risk factors associated with depression in the first postnatal year were analysed by means of logistic regressions.ResultsIn the mothers, aside from a history of depression, the only other powerful predictor of postnatal depression was the mean objective negative impact score of life events. ‘Postnatal’ depression in fathers was associated with a history of depression in themselves and with the presence of depression in their wives or partners during pregnancy and soon after delivery.ConclusionPrevention and early treatment of depression in fathers may benefit not only themselves but also their spouses and their children.

Abstract:

The study assessed how the timing of maternal perinatal depressive symptoms affects infant socio-emotional characteristics at age 18 months. The study was a longitudinal cohort study that included six assessment points from the third trimester of pregnancy up to age 18 months (±1 month). Assessment of mothers included the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale and the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, while assessments of infant included the Infant Toddler Social and Emotional Assessment (ITSEA) at 18 months. Mothers were categorized into one of the following groups: mothers who presented postnatal depression only (n = 19); mothers who presented both prenatal and postnatal depression (n = 14), and mothers who never showed perinatal depression symptoms (n = 38). Mothers who presented both prenatal and postnatal depression showed significantly higher levels of depressive score, reactivity to stress and level of anxiety trait compared to mothers of the two other groups. Infants of prenatally and postnatally depressed mothers had higher scores on the internalizing subscore of the ITSEA. The number of depression episodes during the study period was positively correlated with the externalizing and internalizing subscores of the ITSEA. These findings support the need to provide specific screening to identify women with prenatal depression.

Abstract:

BackgroundLittle is known of the behavioural adjustment of children of postnatally depressed mothers. Previous studies have relied on maternal reports, and have produced inconsistent findings.MethodIn a prospective, longitudinal study of the five-year-old children of a community sample of postnatally depressed and well women, evidence was collected concerning the children's adjustment in the context of school, teachers being asked to complete questionnaires after the children had finished their first term.ResultsFamily social class and the child's gender had the most pervasive influences on adjustment. However, both postnatal and recent maternal depression were associated with significantly raised levels of child disturbance, particularly among boys and those from lower social class families.ConclusionsThe findings indicate a persistent effect of postnatal depression on child adjustment. They highlight the need for resources devoted to supporting mothers of young children and particularly routine screening and treatment for postnatal mood disorder.

Abstract:

BackgroundAlthough there have been many studies of the biological and psychosocial causations of postnatal depression, studies of sociocultural risk factors are rare.AimsTo investigate the sociocultural risk factors of postnatal depression using ethnographically informed epidemiological methods.MethodAtotal of 959 women were assessed at their first ante-partum visit (baseline), in the third trimester, immediately after delivery, and 3 months post-partum. Six domains of risk factors were examined. The dependent variable was postnatal depression (as defined by the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale) at 3 months post-partum.ResultsConflict with mother-in-law, marital dissatisfaction, past depression and antenatal depression independently predicted the occurrence of postnatal depression. The cultural practice of peiyue – a Chinese post-partum custom of mandated family support – was associated with better social support and a slightly lower risk of postnatal depression.ConclusionsSociocultural aspects of the immediate puerperium shape maternal emotional well-being. In-law conflict is an important source of household distress in many Asian societies. The findings have implications for clinical practice and future studies.

The development of a 10-item self-report scale (EPDS) to screen for Postnatal Depression in the community is described. After extensive pilot interviews a validation study was carried out on 84 mothers using the Research Diagnostic Criteria for depressive illness obtained from Goldberg's Standardised Psychiatric Interview. The EPDS was found to have satisfactory sensitivity and specficity, and was also sensitive to change in the severity of depression over time. The scale can be completed in about 5 minutes and has a simple method of scoring. The use of the EPDS in the secondary prevention of Postnatal Depression is discussed.

Abstract:

The physical and mental health of women antenatally and postnatally has been described as fundamentally important to the development of children and the family. Exercise was proposed as a strategy to support maternal mental health, such as postnatal depression with an emphasis on structured and supervised activities. However, a recent systematic review by Saligheh et al (2017) revealed inconsistencies in the evidence base and could not confirm that exercise reduced symptoms of postnatal depression. This study aims to analyse the current evidence base to determine what outcomes should be measured to evaluate the benefits of exercise to maternal mental health. The research concludes that using a quantitative methodological approach, predominantly using the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Score as a primary outcome measure, does not appear to capture the effects of exercise on postnatal depression and anxiety. Further research using a qualitative approach is recommended to identify outcomes that should be measured to demonstrate the benefits of exercise to maternal mental health.

Abstract:

ABSTRACTBackgroundThe relationship of postnatal (postpartum) depression (PND) to episodes of depression occurring at other times is not well understood. Despite a number of studies of clinical presentation, there is little consistency in the literature. We have undertaken within- and between-individual comparisons of the clinical presentation of postnatal (PN) and non-postnatal (NPN) depressive episodes in women with recurrent depression.MethodIn a sample of well-characterized, parous women meeting DSM-IV and ICD-10 criteria for recurrent major depressive disorder, the clinical presentation of episodes of major depression with onset within 4 weeks of giving birth (PND group, n=50) were compared with (i) the non-postnatal episodes of women with PND, and (ii) episodes of major depression in parous women who had not experienced episodes of mood disorder in relation to childbirth (NPND group, n=132). In addition, the non-postnatal episodes of the PND group of women were compared with the depressive episodes of the NPND group.ResultsThe small number of differences found between PN and NPN depressive episodes, such as reduced early morning wakening in postnatal episodes, are likely to be explicable by the context of having a new baby rather than by any difference in the nature of the underlying depression.ConclusionsThe results do not point to substantial differences in clinical presentation between episodes of major depression occurring in relation to childbirth and at other times. Other avenues of research are therefore required to demonstrate a specific relationship between childbirth and depression.

Abstract:

During pregnancy and birth, for mother and newborn baby are the focuses of attention. Many times fathers are left out. This study aimed to determine if personality correlates to paternal postnatal depression. The study used descriptive correlational design, where in data from 177 respondents gathered through purposive sampling. Personality in term of extraversion and neuroticism were significantly related to paternal postnatal depression. Neuroticism was positively correlated to paternal postnatal depression but agreeableness, conscientiousness, openness were not significantly correlated to paternal postnatal depression.
