The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of depressive symptoms, feelings of incompetence and spouse relationship problems and their mutual relations. Data from a Swedish parent-infant population-based cohort 25 months after childbirth was used. A questionnaire containing Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) and a modified Swedish Parental Stress Questionnaire (SPSQ) regarding depression and parental stress was answered by 646 fathers and 700 mothers. Parents with depressive symptoms experienced more feelings of incompetence and spouse relationship problems than parents without depressive symptoms. The prevalence of depressive symptoms (EPDS ≥ 12) was more than11% for mothers and nearly 5% for fathers in the sample, 25 months after childbirth. The result indicated that feelings of incompetence and spouse relationship problems could be important constructs for understanding parental stress and depressive symptoms in the parents of young children. In conclusion, it is important that Child Health Care is attentive to both mothers' and fathers' depressive symptoms and parental stress after the first year.
本研究的目的是确定抑郁症状、无能感和配偶关系问题的患病率及其相互关系。使用了来自瑞典基于人群的母婴队列产后25个月的数据。646名父亲和700名母亲回答了一份包含爱丁堡产后抑郁量表（EPDS）以及一份关于抑郁和父母压力的改良瑞典父母压力问卷（SPSQ）的问卷。有抑郁症状的父母比没有抑郁症状的父母体验到更多的无能感和配偶关系问题。在产后25个月的样本中，母亲抑郁症状（EPDS≥12）的患病率超过11%，父亲接近5%。结果表明，无能感和配偶关系问题可能是理解幼儿父母压力和抑郁症状的重要因素。总之，儿童保健关注父母产后第一年的抑郁症状和父母压力很重要。
