To calculate the point frequency of post-partum depression among mothers.
This cross-sectional, quantitative study was conducted at the immunisation clinics of General Hospital, Islamabad, and Tehsil Headquarters Hospital, Kahuta, Pakistan, in November 2015, and comprised women aged 18-44 years. Primary data collection was done through Edinburgh post-natal depression scale questionnaire. SPSS 20 was used for data analysis.
There were 434 participants in the study. Frequency of post-partum depression was 75(17.3%). The odds of post-partum depression was 2.3times more among non-exclusive breastfeeding mothers, 6.6 times more among women with no husband support, 6.1 times more among women with no family support, and 1.92 times more among women with youngest female child.
Exclusive breastfeeding had a strong association with post-partum depression.
计算母亲中产后抑郁症的点患病率。
这项横断面定量研究于2015年11月在巴基斯坦伊斯兰堡综合医院和卡胡塔hsil总部医院的免疫诊所进行，研究对象为年龄在18 - 44岁的女性。通过爱丁堡产后抑郁量表问卷收集原始数据。使用SPSS 20进行数据分析。
该研究共有434名参与者。产后抑郁症的患病率为75（17.3%）。非纯母乳喂养的母亲患产后抑郁症的几率高2.3倍，没有丈夫支持的女性高6.6倍，没有家庭支持的女性高6.1倍，最小孩子为女孩的女性高1.92倍。
纯母乳喂养与产后抑郁症有很强的关联。
