Results: The rate of female healthcare workers suffering from PD is 28.2%. There is a relationship between PD and some factors such as: psychological and spiritual issues (OR = 4.8; p < 0.004); feeling pressured when back to work (OR = 2.9; p < 0.042); prefer boy than girl (OR = 7.1; p < 0.001); obstetric history (OR = 3.1; p < 0.021); assisted reproductive therapy (OR = 0.08; p < 0.008) and marital status (OR = 0.26; p < 0.023). Conclusions and recommendations: The percentage of PD among female healthcare workers is about 28.2%. We need to conduct in-depth studies with larger samples.
