Postpartum depression (PPD) is an important area of women's health research internationally and across disciplines. There is no guiding paradigm, however, to ensure that PPD research results translate to women on a global level. This commentary builds on the work of Doucet, Letourneau, and Stoppard ( 2010 ) to determine a "best fit" paradigm with which to guide PPD research. Postpositivism, critical theory, constructivism, and pragmatism are combined with a feminist ideology and critiqued as potential guiding paradigms for PPD research. After thorough examination, I conclude the need for further use of a feminist pragmatist paradigm in PPD research.
产后抑郁症（PPD）是国际上跨学科的女性健康研究的一个重要领域。然而，目前尚无指导范式来确保PPD的研究成果在全球范围内应用于女性。本评论基于杜塞、勒图尔诺和斯托帕德（2010年）的工作，以确定一种“最佳匹配”范式来指导PPD研究。后实证主义、批判理论、建构主义和实用主义与女性主义意识形态相结合，并作为PPD研究的潜在指导范式受到批判。经过深入研究，我得出结论，在PPD研究中需要进一步运用女性主义实用主义范式。
