Abstract

Objective: To learn about the characteristics of related factors in postpartum depression patients. Methods: Analysis of the characteristics of related factors in 31 postpartum depression patients treated at the Department of Psychiatry, 103 Military Hospital. Research results: Women under 25 years old, with no family supporting during pregnancy and postpartum are twice as likely to suffer from depression than women with family supporting and the age group over 25. Women in families with husband who prefer sons are more likely to suffer from postpartum depression than husband who don't care about sex. Pregnant women with a history of stillbirth (9.68%), preterm birth less than 37 weeks (22.58%) and they experienced physical/mental violence (35.48%) were at higher risk for postpartum depression than in normal conditions. Conclusion: Factors such as age group, family support, child's sex, maternity history, birth pattern and violence are closely related to postpartum depression.
