The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between postpartum depressive symptoms and maternal role attainment. This study was part of a larger project using a nonrandomized, longitudinal, descriptive design. A convenience sample of 168 primiparous women in their last trimester of an uncomplicated pregnancy were recruited from community hospital-sponsored prenatal classes in central Illinois, and 136 women completed questionnaires 9-14 weeks after delivery. Postpartum depression was measured with the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale. Three measures of maternal role attainment were the Myself as Mother Scale, My Baby Scale, and Perceived Competence Scale. Postpartum depression demonstrated a significant, negative relationship to all measures of maternal role attainment (r = -.20 to -.35, p < .01). The occurrence of postpartum depression and its negative influence on maternal role attainment emphasize the need to assess all new mothers for depression 2-3 months after delivery.
本研究的目的是探讨产后抑郁症状与母亲角色实现之间的关系。本研究是一个更大项目的一部分，采用非随机、纵向、描述性设计。从伊利诺伊州中部社区医院主办的产前课程中招募了168名处于无并发症妊娠晚期的初产妇作为便利样本，136名妇女在分娩后9 - 14周完成了问卷调查。产后抑郁采用爱丁堡产后抑郁量表进行测量。母亲角色实现的三个测量指标是“我作为母亲的量表”、“我的宝宝量表”和“感知能力量表”。产后抑郁与母亲角色实现的所有测量指标均呈现显著的负相关（r = -0.20至-0.35，p < 0.01）。产后抑郁的发生及其对母亲角色实现的负面影响强调了在分娩后2 - 3个月对所有新妈妈进行抑郁评估的必要性。
