The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence and associated factors of postpartum depression among mothers who gave birth within the last 12 months among hospitals of Southwest Ethiopia, 2017.
The study revealed that 138 (33.82%) of mothers had postpartum depression. Unplanned pregnancy adjusted odds ratio (AOR) = 4.49, 95% CI (2.31, 8.71), age from 15 to 24 years AOR = 0.420, 95% CI (0.18, 0.98), having a chronic physical illness AOR = 7.71, 95% CI (2.34, 25.44), experiencing death of infant AOR = 4.12, (1.78, 9.51) and unstable marital condition AOR = 6.02, (2.79, 12.99) were significantly associated with postpartum depression. The prevalence of post-partum depression was found to be high. Therefore urgent attention must be given to this problem, in particular towards its early detection, so that morbidity could be reduced in this group of women.
本研究旨在确定2017年埃塞俄比亚西南部医院中，过去12个月内分娩的母亲产后抑郁症的患病率及相关因素。
研究显示，138名（33.82%）母亲患有产后抑郁症。意外怀孕调整比值比（AOR）=4.49，95%置信区间（2.31，8.71）；年龄在15至24岁之间AOR=0.420，95%置信区间（0.18，0.98）；患有慢性身体疾病AOR=7.71，95%置信区间（2.34，25.44）；经历婴儿死亡AOR=4.12，（1.78，9.51）；婚姻状况不稳定AOR=6.02，（2.79，12.99），这些因素与产后抑郁症显著相关。产后抑郁症的患病率较高。因此，必须紧急关注这一问题，尤其是早期检测，以便降低这组女性的发病率。
