Perinatal depression affects approximately 10 to 20 percent of women during pregnancy or the first 12 months postpartum. Increased attention has been given to the prevalence of and screening for perinatal depression, yet little research addresses help seeking for this issue. The overall barriers and facilitators of help seeking among these women have yet to be addressed in a systematic way. A systematic literature review was conducted to identify studies that focused on help seeking among women with perinatal depression. Nineteen articles met the inclusion criteria discussed below and were included in this review. Barriers to help seeking for women with perinatal depression include social (e.g. stigma), structural (e.g. provider unavailable) and instrumental factors (e.g. cost). Facilitators of help seeking for women with perinatal depression were limited in scope. Recommendations for policy and the role of social workers are discussed.
围产期抑郁症影响了大约 10%至 20%的孕妇或产后 12 个月内的女性。人们越来越关注围产期抑郁症的患病率和筛查，但很少有研究涉及这个问题的寻求帮助。这些女性寻求帮助的总体障碍和促进因素尚未以系统的方式得到解决。本研究进行了系统的文献回顾，以确定关注围产期抑郁症女性寻求帮助的研究。19 篇文章符合以下讨论的纳入标准，并被纳入本综述。围产期抑郁症女性寻求帮助的障碍包括社会（如污名）、结构（如提供者不可用）和工具（如费用）因素。围产期抑郁症女性寻求帮助的促进因素范围有限。讨论了政策建议和社会工作者的作用。
