Antepartum and postpartum depression in a primary health care cemter area

Amaç: Topluma dayalı bu çalışmada, Park Sağlık Ocağı bölgesinde yaşayan gebe kadınların gebelikte ve doğum sonrası depresyon skorlarını izlemek ve depresif duygu durum ile ilişkili faktörleri değerlendirmek amaçlanmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Park Sağlık Ocağı bölgesinde araştırma sırasında tespit edilen tüm gebeler (n=66) Edinburgh Doğum Sonrası Depresyon Ölçeğini (EPDS) ve bir anket formunu gebelik sırasında bir kez, doğum sonrası iki kez (2.haftada ve 6. ayda) olmak üzere, toplam üç kez doldurmuşlardır. Depresif duygu durum tanısı için, EPDS kesme noktasına göre 13 ve üzeri puan olası depresif duygu duruma işaret etmiştir. Bulgular: Tüm grubun ortalama EPDS puanı gebelikte, postpartum her iki ölçümden de yüksektir (ardışık olarak p=0.054, p=0.003). EPDS skoru kesme noktası üzerinde olan kadın oranı gebelik döneminde %31.8 iken, doğum sonrası 2. hafta %22.7'ye, doğum sonrası 6.ayda %19.7'ye azalmıştır. Doğum sonrası depresif duygu durum varlığı ile doğumun şekli ve annenin çalışma durumu ilişkili bulunmuştur. Tartışma: Bu çalışma ile, depresif bozukluk riskinin kadınlarda sadece doğum sonrası dönemde değil, gebelikte de ortaya çıkabileceğini ve sağlık personelinin doğum sonrası olduğu kadar gebelik döneminde ruhsal durum değişikliklerini gözden kaçırmaması gerektiği sonucuna varılmıştır.

Bir sağlık ocağı bölgesinde doğum öncesi ve doğum sonrası depresyonun değerlendirilmesi

Aim: The aim of this community based study was to follow depression scores of pregnant women after delivery and to determine factors associated with depressive mood in a primary health care center area. Material and Method: In this study, all pregnant women (n=66) living in Park Health Center Region in Ankara, completed a questionnaire and Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) once in pregnancy and twice in postpartum period at 2nd week and 6th month. EPDS scores above cut off point (?13) indicated possible depressive mood. Results: Mean EPDS score in pregnancy was higher than both postpartum measurements (p=0.054, p=0.003 respectively). Number of women with EPDS scores above cut-off declined in time as follows: 31.8% during pregnancy, 22.7% at postpartum 2nd week, 19.7% at postpartum 6th month. Associated factors with postpartum depressive mood were type of delivery and working status (p
