SummaryThe validation of the French version of the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS), conducted on a sample of 87 women in the first 4 months of post-partum, is presented. The study of the sensitivity, specificity and predictive values versus research diagnosis criteria provide the cut-off score of 10.5 as the best (sensitivity: 0.80; specificity: 0.92). The EPDS as an index of severity of postnatal depression (PND) also had good criterion validity compared to the psychiatrist's assessment. Factor analysis shows that the internal structure of the EPDS is composed of two subscales which underline a more accurate description of PND. The reliability study confirms the good internal consistency of the global scale (Cronbach's alpha: 0.76) and its good short term test-retest reliability (0.98).

Postpartum Blues

Abstrak Perubahan peran seorang wanita menjadi seorang ibu tidaklah selalu berupa hal yang menyenangkan saja bagi pasangan suami istri, kadang kala terjadi terjadi konflik baik didalam diri wanita tersebut maupun konflik dengan suami. Jika perhatian terhadap keadaan psikologis ibu post partum kurang maka dapat menyebabkan ibu akan cenderung untuk mencoba mengatasi permasalahannya atau ketidaknyamanannya tersebut sendiri, keadaan ini jika dibiarkan saja dapat menyebabkan ibu post partum mengalami postpartum blues. Di Indonesia, diperkirakan terdapat 50-70% ibu pasca melahirkan mengalami postpartum blues pada hari 4-10. Penelitian ini menggunakan survey analitik dengan desain penelitian cross sectional, dengan jumlah sampel sebanyak 160 orang. Data diambil menggunakan kuesioner yang ditampilkan dalam analisa univariat dan bivariat menggunakan sistem komputerisasi SPSS. Hasil penelitian yaitu ada hubungan antara pendidikan ibu (p 0,013), pekerjaan ibu (p 0,013), dukungan suami (p 0,021), pendapatan keluarga dengan kejadian post partum blues (p 0,000) dan tidak ada hubungan antara paritas ibu (p 0,199), umur ibu (p 0,391), dan riwayat PMS (p 0,087) dengan kejadian post partum blues. Diharapkan bagi peneliti untuk dapat melanjutkan penelitian dengan variabel yang lebih bergam dan diharapkan bagi para tenaga kesehatan agar dapat meningkatkan pelayanan terutama dalam pemberian dukungan pada ibu masa post partum, sehingga mengurangi resiko ibu mengalami postpartum blues. Kata kunci : Postpartum blues, pendidikan, pekerjaan, dukungan suami, riwayat PMS

Abstract Background: The Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) is widely used in early child health care. This study examined the appropriateness of the recommended EPDS cut-off score 11/12. Methods: Two main analyses were performed: 1. Associations between EPDS scores and maternal health behaviour, stress, life events, perceived mother-child interaction quality and child behaviour. 2. Screening parameters of the EPDS, i.e., sensitivity, specificity and positive predictive value. EPDS scores were available for 438 mothers and maternal questionnaires for 361 mothers. Results: Already in the EPDS score intervals 6–8 and 9–11, there were notable adversities, according to maternal questionnaires, in stress, perceived quality of mother-child interaction, perceived child difficultness and child problem behaviours. Using maternal questionnaire reports about sadness/distress postpartum as standard, the recommended EPDS cut-off score 11/12 resulted in a very low sensitivity (24%). The cut-off score 6/7 yielded a sensitivity of 61%, a specificity of 82% and a positive predictive value of 61%. Conclusions: In terms of both clinical relevance and screening qualities, an EPDS cut-off score lower than 11/12 seems recommendable.

One hundred and three post-partum women completed the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) and were interviewed using the Diagnostic Interview Schedule. A cut-off score of 12.5 on the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale identified all nine women who reached criteria for major depression. At this threshold the sensitivity (the percentage of true “cases’ identified) of the EPDS was 100%, its specificity (the percentage of true “non-cases’ identified as such) 95.7% and its positive predictive value (the percentage of all those tested as positive who were correctly identified as such) 69.2%. Although this study supported the validity of the EPDS, a replication of this study on a larger sample is suggested.

Purposive Sampling

Salah satu permasalahan yang dijumpai pada seorang wanita setelah melahirkan adalah depresi postparum. Masalah ini harus diatasi melalui intervensi keperawatan dalam meningkatkan kesehatan ibu dan bayi salah satunya melalui qigong exercise. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengidentifikasi efektifitas qigong exercise dalam pencegahan gejala depresi postpartum pada ibu remaja. Penelitian quasi eksperimen ini menggunakan teknik purposive sampling dengan 27 responden ibu remaja. Alat ukur yang digunakan adalah kuesioner yang sudah terstruktur yaitu kuesioner demografi dan Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS). Variabel depresi postpartum, baik pre intervensi maupun post intervensi dianalisis menggunakan uji Wilcoxon. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa ada pengaruh antara intervensi qigong exercise dengan pencegahan gejala depresi postpartum pada ibu remaja dengan p value 0,000. Ibu remaja yang sehat baik secara fisik maupun mental akan sangat berpengaruh terhadap peran pengasuhan kepada bayinya.

We sought to evaluate the capacity of the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) in discriminating mental disorders other than depression in pregnant women in northern Mexico. Three hundred pregnant women attending prenatal consultations in a public hospital in Durango City, Mexico submitted a validated EPDS and were examined for mental disorders other than depression using the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders - 4th Ed. (DSM-IV) criteria. Sensitivity and specificity of cut-off points of the EPDS, and positive and negative predictive values were calculated. Of the 300 pregnant women studied, 21 had mental disorders other than depression by the DSM-IV criteria. The best EPDS score for screening mental disorders other than depression was 8/9. This threshold showed a sensitivity of 52.4%, a specificity of 67.0%, a positive predictive value of 11.5%, a negative predictive value of 95.4%, and an area under the curve of 0.643 (95% confidence interval: 0.52-0.76). The EPDS can be considered for screening mental disorders other than depression in Mexican pregnant women whenever a cut-off score of 8/9 is used. However, the tool showed small power to separate pregnant women with and without mental disorders other than depression.

BACKGROUND: Postpartum depression is a commonly occurring psychiatric disorder. Prevalence of postpartum depression varies across cultures and countries. Many factors affect, trigger, or aggravate post-partum depression, including sociocultural factor. Bedapu is a unique tradition from Aceh Singkil on post-partum mothers. CASE REPORT: We reported a case of two women with postpartum depression who performed Bedapu tradition on themselves. Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) was conducted for screening and DSM-5 as the determinant of diagnostic criteria. CONCLUSION: Postpartum depression has varying symptom spectrum, and Bedapu affected it by aggravating the symptoms of postpartum depression.

Objectives: First, to explore the utility of the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) in routine primary care through a large community screening program. Next, to compare administration of a second EPDS versus the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) in identifying postnatal depression in the prescreened population. Method: Screening with the EPDS through Maternal and Child Health Centres at 4 months post-partum. Women scoring ≥12 were assessed against DSM-IV criteria and completed a BDI and a second EPDS. These data were subjected to receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analyses. Results: Of 4148 screened, 533 (12.8%) scored ≥12. Of these, 344 were assessed against DSM-IV criteria: 193 (56%) – major depressive disorder; 67 (20%) – other diagnoses that incorporated depression. Positive predictive value at screening was therefore 76%. Another 45 (13%) had non-depressive disorders and 39 (11%) were psychiatric non-cases. The BDI was the better diagnostic instrument in the prescreened population, having a significantly higher efficiency as quantified by ROC curve analysis, though the absolute difference in efficiency was small (approximately 6%). Conclusions: Screening with the EPDS integrated well into routine primary care. Twostep screening offers one way of achieving acceptable balances of operational simplicity and diagnostic accuracy.
