Abstract EN
There are various factors related to postpartum depression.
In this study we have aimed to determine the effect of mode of delivery on the risk of postpartum depression.
A total of 318 women who applied for delivery were included in the study.
Previously diagnosed fetal anomalies, preterm deliveries, stillbirths, and patients with need of intensive care unit were excluded from the study.
Data about the patients were obtained during hospital stay.
During the postpartum sixth week visit Edinburgh postnatal depression scale (EPDS) was applied.
There was no significant difference between EPDS scores when compared according to age, education, gravidity, wanting the pregnancy, fear about birth, gender, family type, and income level (P>0.05).
Those who had experienced emesis during their pregnancy, had a history of depression, and were housewives had significantly higher EPDS scores (P<0.05).
Delivering by spontaneous vaginal birth, elective Cesarean section, or emergency Cesarean section had no effect on EPDS scores.
In conclusion healthcare providers should be aware of postpartum depression risk in nonworking women with a history of emesis and depression and apply the EPDS to them for early detection of postpartum depression.
