The aim of this study was to investigate the association between postnatal depression (PND) symptoms severity and structural neighborhood characteristics among women enrolled in a home visiting program. The sample included 295 mothers who were at risk for developing PND, observed as 3-month Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) scores ≥ 10. Two neighborhood predictor components (residential stability and social disadvantage) were analyzed as predictors of PND symptom severity using a generalized estimating equation. Residential stability was negatively associated with PND symptom severity. Social disadvantage was not found to be statistically significantly. The findings suggest that residential stability is associated with a reduction in PND symptom severity for women enrolled in home visiting program.
本研究的目的是调查参加家访计划的女性产后抑郁（PND）症状严重程度与社区结构特征之间的关联。样本包括295名有患PND风险的母亲，以产后3个月爱丁堡产后抑郁量表（EPDS）得分≥10为观察指标。使用广义估计方程分析了两个社区预测因素（居住稳定性和社会劣势）作为PND症状严重程度的预测指标。居住稳定性与PND症状严重程度呈负相关。未发现社会劣势具有统计学意义。研究结果表明，居住稳定性与参加家访计划的女性PND症状严重程度的降低有关。
