dc.description.abstractPurpose: In this study, we aimed to determine the change in depression and anxiety levels of mothers during prepartum and postpartum periods. Methods: Among the mothers who admitted Dicle University Hospital in their third trimester between June 2008 and January 2009 and did not have any physical disorder were enrolled in the study. After their initial evaluation during the third trimester the mothers were re-evaluated in their second and third month after birth. Results: Mean age of the mothers was 28.2±4.2 years. Prepartum and postpartum evaluations of the mothers with BDI revealed 31% and 29% depression ratios, respectively. According to the STAI-I when evaluated at prepartum and postpartum periods, 47% and 49% of the mother were significantly anxious. It was 71% and 63% for prepartum and postpartum evaluations with STAI-II, respectively. There were statistically significant difference between prepartum and postpartum periods in terms of upper threshold of the BDI and STAI-II scores (p=0.002 and p=0.014). Conclusion: Mothers seem to be under as high risk for depression and anxiety at prepartum period as they are at postpartum period. In general, the mothers who had higher levels of depression and anxiety before delivery tend to have also higher levels at postpartum period. © 2010 Düzce Medical Journal.en_US
