Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the positive rate of postpartum depression/anxiety screening and its associated factors in Jinping area, Yunnan Province.Methods:This cross-sectional survey involved 761 women who delivered live, singleton infants at or after 28 gestational weeks from October 2019 to February 2021 in the People's Hospital of Jinping Miao, Yao, and Dai Autonomous County, Honghe Hani and Yi Autonomous Prefecture, Yunnan Province. A questionnaire survey on childbirth and upbringing, the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (defined as positive when ≥9 score), and the Self-rating Anxiety Scale (defined as positive when ≥50 score) were conducted at postpartum day 1 to 3. General obstetric information and medical history were also retrieved from medical records. The risk factors of maternal depression and anxiety were analyzed using Chi-square test and multivariate logistic regression. Results:All 761 parturients completed the questionnaire. The total positive rate was 7.49% (57/761) for depression screening and 8.02% (61/761) for anxiety screening. Univariate analysis showed that postpartum hemorrhage, intrapartum infection and puerperal morbidity, neonates being transferred to the pediatric ward, attendance of prenatal classes during pregnancy, whether the neonatal gender was in line with the maternal and family expectations were all associated with both postpartum depression and postpartum anxiety. In addition, an association was found between gravidity, parity, delivery mode and postpartum depression, as well as accompanied delivery, breastfeeding and postpartum anxiety (all P<0.05). Multivariate analysis showed that postpartum hemorrhage ( OR=1.934, 95% CI: 1.010-3.704), neonates being transferred to the pediatric ward ( OR=1.990, 95% CI: 1.037-3.816), and not attending prenatal classes during pregnancy ( OR=3.393, 95% CI: 1.166-9.872) were the risk factors for postpartum depression; neonates being transferred to the pediatric ward ( OR=1.972, 95% CI: 1.040-3.740) and non-breastfeeding ( OR=2.174, 95% CI: 1.077-4.389) were risk factors for postpartum anxiety (all P<0.05). Conclusions:Parturients in Jinping area of Yunnan Province were at a lower risk of postpartum depression/anxiety. Active attendance at prenatal classes and breastfeeding may help reduce the risk of postpartum depression/anxiety.
