OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the prevalence and associated risk factors for postpartum depression using the Edinburgh Postpartum Depression Scale. STUDY DESIGN: The population of this cross-sectional analytic study consisted of 311 women who were admitted to our hospital at 4-6 weeks after birth. The data were collected between April-June 2018 by applying a sociodemographic data form consisting of 44 questions and the Edinburgh Postpartum Depression Scale consisting of 10 questions. We used the Edinburgh Postpartum Depression Scale in the postpartum period to divide parturients into those with (n=47) and without (n=264) postpartum depression using a cut-off score of ? 13. The primary outcome is the prevalence of postpartum depression, while the secondary outcomes are associated-risk factors. RESULTS: The postpartum depression prevalence was 15.1% (n=47). In the postpartum depression group, the difference was highly significant in terms of abortion, antenatal depression, inadequate care for the baby, and health problem in the newborn ?0.6±0.9 vs. 0.2±0.6, 13 (37.1%) vs. 27 (10.5%), 9 (56.3%) vs. 38 (12.9%), 12 (36.4%) vs. 35 (12.6%), respectively? (p<0.001). The Logistic regression analysis revealed that abortion by 1.64 fold (1.13-2.37% at 95% CI), antenatal depression by 5.04 fold (2.38-10.68% at 95% CI), inadequate baby care by 6.28 fold (1.89-20.86% at 95% CI), and health problem in the newborn by 3.59 fold (1.43-8.99% at 95% CI) increased postpartum depression. CONCLUSION: postpartum depression is a health problem that can affect primarily mother and child. Therefore, it is important to determine highly predictable risk factors using a scale (e.g. Edinburgh Postpartum Depression Scale) for early diagnosis and timely treatment of symptoms.
