This study examined the contributions of demographic variables, antepartum depressive symptoms, and sources of stress to level of postpartum depression. The Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) and demographic data sheet were administered to 69 women during the eighth month of pregnancy. One month after delivery, subjects completed the post-delivery questionnaire and BDI. A stratified hierarchical regression analysis revealed that marital status, antepartum depressive symptoms, and difficulty of pregnancy predicted level of postpartum depression. Somatic stressors of pregnancy may trigger depressive symptoms that persist after childbirth, particularly in unmarried mothers.
本研究考察了人口统计学变量、产前抑郁症状以及压力源对产后抑郁程度的影响。在怀孕第八个月时，对69名女性进行了贝克抑郁量表（BDI）和人口统计学数据表的调查。分娩后一个月，受试者完成了产后问卷和BDI。分层逐步回归分析显示，婚姻状况、产前抑郁症状和怀孕困难程度可预测产后抑郁程度。孕期的躯体压力源可能引发产后持续存在的抑郁症状，尤其是未婚母亲。
