Many changes could occur in a woman’s body, both mental and physical, during pregnancy and the postnatal period. The process of childbirth and a changing role as a new mom can be associated with many disturbances of emotions. Besides that, the development of baby blues or postpartum depression may occur in the puerperium period. Depression in post partum occurs in one month after childbirth and may be prolonged to one year. Depressive disorders  in a young mother affect the mother and the newborn’s health status. That is why it is crucial to identify for factors that could significantly reduce the likelihood of developing depression in this period. The literature review was aimed at describing the relationship of  physical activity during pregnancy and  postpartum and the development of postnatal depression.  It was shown that physical activity during pregnancy and puerperium, or in the postnatal period itself  reduces the risk of developing depression in pregnancy and after delivery. Physical activity can be an essential factor in preventing depressive disorders in women in the postnatal period.

Background and Objectives: During pregnancy and the postnatal period many changes occur in a woman’s body, both in mental and physical spheres. The birth of a child and a new role—of a mother—can sometimes be associated with numerous negative emotions, uncertainty, fear, anxiety, disgust, depression, or sadness. In the puerperium period, the development of baby blues or postpartum depression may occur. Postpartum depression develops within one month of childbirth and may last up to one year. Depressive disorders that may develop in a young mother affect both her and the newborn’s health. That is why it is so important to try to search for factors that could significantly reduce the likelihood of developing depression in this period. The study aims at assessing the relationship between physical activity during pregnancy and puerperium or in the postpartum and the development of postnatal depression. Materials and Methods: A review of the literature was carried out in the Medline-PubMed database. The search terms were “pregnancy” AND “physical activity AND postpartum depression”. The study included only English-language publications published in the period 2000–2018. Results: A total of 216 references were found. After establishing the inclusion and exclusion criteria based on the analysis of titles and abstracts, 173 articles were excluded from the review. A total of 43 publications were read in full. Finally, 16 articles were included in the review. It was shown that regular physical activity during pregnancy, pregnancy, and puerperium, or in the postnatal period itself as compared to inactivity, reduces the risk of developing depression in pregnant women and after the birth of a child. Conclusions: Physical activity can be an essential factor in the prevention of depressive disorders of women in the postnatal period.

AbstractObjective– Studies have suggested that women with pregnancy anxiety may be at greater risk of postnatal depression (PND). However, due to the high comorbidity between anxiety and depressive disorders, this finding may be confounded by the association between prenatal depression and postnatal depression. The aim of the present prospective study was to assess whether anxiety disorder (AD) during pregnancy is an independent predictor of intensity of postnatal depressive symptoms.Method.– The MATQUID cohort survey was conducted on pregnant women (n = 497) attending a state maternity hospital. Psychiatric status during pregnancy was assessed during the third trimester using a structured diagnostic interview. Intense postnatal depressive symptoms at 6 weeks post-partum were defined by a score >12 on the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS).Results.– Nearly one out of four women (24.1%) presented with at least one pregnancyAD, and 29 (5.8%) presented with a score >12 on the EPDS. After adjustment for presence of major depression during pregnancy and other confounding factors, women with pregnancy AD were nearly three times more likely to present with intense postnatal depressive symptoms (OR = 2.7, 95%CI 1.1-6.3, P = 0.03).Conclusion.– Promoting the recognition and management of AD in pregnant women may be of interest for the prevention of postnatal 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.

Background:The purpose of the study was to investigate the longitudinal relationship between physical activity and clustering of some cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors after 1-y follow-up.Methods:The sample comprised 704 males and 770 females between the ages of 8 to 15 y. Clustering was defined as belonging to one or more sex and age-specific “high-risk” quartiles for biological risk factors. The longitudinal relationships were analyzed with multilevel analysis.Results:There was no longitudinal significant relationship between physical activity and individual biological risk factors. When biological risk factor clustering was considered, however, there was a significant longitudinal relationship with physical activity.Conclusion:It can be concluded that even at a young age, physical activity can play an important role in developing a healthy lifestyle profile.

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
