BackgroundCommunity-based epidemiological data on post-partum depression from developing countries are scarce.AimsTo determine the incidence of and risk factors for developing post-partum depression in a cohort of women living in rural south India.MethodWe assessed 359 women in the last trimester of pregnancy and 6–12 weeks after delivery for depression and for putative risk factors.ResultsThe incidence of post-partum depression was 11% (95% CI 7.1–14.9). Low income, birth of a daughter when a son was desired, relationship difficulties with mother-in-law and parents, adverse life events during pregnancy and lack of physical help were risk factors for the onset of post-partum depression.ConclusionsDepression occurred as frequently during late pregnancy and after delivery as in developed countries, but there were cultural differences in risk factors. These findings have implications for policies regarding maternal and child-care programmes.

Post partum depression (PPD) is an important complication of child-bearing. It requires urgent interventions as it can have long-term adverse consequences if ignored, for both mother and child. If PPD has to be prevented by a public health intervention, the recognition and timely identification of its risk factors is must. We in this review have tried to synthesize the results of Asian studies examining the risk factors of PPD. Some risk factors, which are unique to Asian culture, have also been identified and discussed. We emphasize on early identification of these risk factors as most of these are modifiable and this can have significant implications in prevention of emergence of post partum depression, a serious health issue of Asian women.

Background: Pregnancy and childbirth are important events in the life of a woman. Life with the new born can be very rewarding but it can be very tough for some women. This phase of life brings about many hormonals, physical and emotional changes in the women during childbirth. Aims and objectives were to find out the prevalence and risk factors of post-partum depression (PPD) in urban area of Indore district and to assess the socio demographic profile of study populationMethods: The study was a cross sectional community-based study, conducted on women who had delivered within a period of 6 weeks to 3 months. 100 women from urban area were selected from Indore district through simple random sampling. Informed consent in written was taken from the mothers. The study tool was pre designed semi structured questionnaire and Edinburgh post-natal depression scale (EPDS) scale, data were entered in excel sheet and analyzed using SPSS software, appropriate statistical test were applied wherever necessary.Results: In our study it was found that prevalence of PPD in urban Indore was 23%. We found that age at the time of marriage below 18 years, mode of delivery (LSCS), initiation of breast feeding (after 1 hour) and birth weight of baby less than 2.5 kg had a strong association with PPD. In our study 58% had normal vaginal delivery and 42% had LSCS in urban area. In urban areas 36% gave a history of birth weight of babies <2.5 kg.Conclusions: Symptoms of PPD were significantly high in urban Indore mothers and they were strongly associated with risk factors.

Depresi post partum dapat dialami oleh ibu nifas sejak 2 minggu sampai dengan 1 tahun setelah melahirkan. Kondisi ini jika dideteksi sejak awal dan dapat penanganan yang tepat, akan dapat mencegah masalah lebih lanjut. Identifikasi gejala depresi dan faktor risiko terjadinya depresi post partum penting dilakukan. Kuesioner Edinburgh Postpartum Depression Scale (EPDS)sudah sangat umum digunakan di seluruh dunia untuk mendeteksi adanya depresi post partum dengan tingkat sensitivitas sebesar 80% dan spesifitas 84,4%. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menghitung prevalensi kejadian depresi post partum di Kota Denpasar Tahun 2019, mengetahui faktor risiko yang berhubungan dengan kejadian depresi post partu dan menganalisis hubungan antara faktor risiko yang ditemukan. Penelitian ini merupakan jenis penelitian observasional dengan desain cross sectional. Penelitian dilaksanakan di 3 (tiga) puskesmas rawat inap yaitu Puskesmas I Denpasar Timur, IV Denpasar Selatan dan II Denpasar Barat. Responden berjumlah 67 orang. Instrumen yang digunakan adalah kuesioner EPDS,  kuesioner faktor yang terkait dengan kehamilan, persalinan dan nifas, dan kuesioner faktor sosial. Analisis univariat dengan menghitung proporsi, analisis bivariat dengan menggunakan uji Chi Square dan analisis multivariate dengan menggunakan regresi logistic. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan prevalensi kejadian depresi post partum sebesar 25,4%. Faktor risiko yang berhubungan secara bermakna dengan kejadian depresi post partum antara lain : jenis keluarga, nutrisi untuk bayi dan dukungan keluarga. Sedangkan faktor risiko usia, pendidikan, pekerjaan, penghasilan keluarga, paritas, status kehamilan, komplikasi persalinan dan jenis kelamin bayi tidak menunjukkan adanya hubungan yang signifikan. Hasil regresi logistik menunjukkan nutrisi untuk bayi memiliki hubungan yang paling kuat dengan kejadian depresi post partum. Post partum depression can be experienced by postpartum mothers from 2 weeks to 1 year after giving birth. This condition, if detected early and can be handled properly, will be able to prevent further problems. Identification of depressive symptoms and risk factors for post partum depression is important. The Edinburgh Postpartum Depression Scale (EPDS) questionnaire has been very commonly used worldwide to detect post partum depression with a sensitivity level of 80% and a specificity of 84.4%. This study aims to calculate the prevalence of post partum depression events in Denpasar City in 2019, determine the risk factors associated with the incidence of post partum depression and analyze the relationship between risk factors found. This research is an observational research with cross sectional design. The study was conducted in 3 (three) inpatient puskesmas, namely Puskesmas I Denpasar Timur, IV Denpasar Selatan and II Denpasar Barat. Respondents numbered 67 people. The instruments used were EPDS questionnaire, factor questionnaire related to pregnancy, childbirth and puerperium, and social  factor questionnaire. Univariate analysis by calculating proportions, bivariate analysis using the Chi Square test and multivariate analysis using logistic regression.The results showed the prevalence of post partum depression was 25.4%. Risk factors significantly related to the incidence of post partum depression include: type of family, nutrition for infants and family support. While risk factors for age, education, occupation, family income, parity, pregnancy status, complications of childbirth and sex of the baby did not show a significant relationship. Logistic regression results show that nutrition for infants has the strongest association with the incidence of post partum depression.
