Abstract:
ObjectiveTo explore the influence of "Internet plus" postpartum health care service on postpartum depression, and to provide an evidence for reducing the incidence of postpartum depression and improving the quality of life for postnatal women. MethodsMothers who gave birth between August 1, 2021 and June 30, 2023 lived in the six streets of Xuhui District were selected as the research subjects. The puerperants were randomly divided into the intervention group and the control group according to the order of enrollment using a numerical numbering system, with 210 cases in each of the intervention group and control group. The intervention group adopted the "Internet plus" postpartum health care services, while the control group adopted the conventional postpartum health care services. The risk factors related to postpartum mental health and the incidence of postpartum depression were compared between the two groups. ResultsThere was no statistically significant difference in the scores of postpartum mental health-related risk factors between the two groups at the first 2 weeks and 1st month after delivery (t=0.736 and t=1.260, P>0.05). However, there was a statistically significant difference in the scores of postpartum mental health-related risk factors at the 3rd months after delivery and 6th months after delivery (t=2.089, P<0.05; t=2.655, P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in depression scores at the first 2 weeks after the birth (t=0.560, P>0.05). In the 1st month, the 3rd month and the 6th month after delivery, the intervention group adopted the "Internet plus" postpartum health care service, thus the differences in depression scores were statistically significant (t=2.616, t=2.793 and t=3.107, P<0.05). Conclusion"Internet plus" postpartum health care service is conducive to reducing postpartum depression, promoting maternal mental health, and significantly improving the well-being of postnatal women.
