Abstract: (2 Views)
This study aimed to predict postpartum depression based on social support, pregnancy depression, and pregnancy anxiety. The present research was descriptive-correlational in nature, employing multiple regression analysis. The study population comprised mothers in Tehran in 2023, one month after delivery. Using a convenience sampling method, a total of 150 participants were selected. The instruments included the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS; Edinburgh, 2003), the Medical Outcomes Study Social Support Survey (MOS-SSS; Sherbourne & Stewart, 1991), and the Pregnancy-Related Anxiety Questionnaire (PRAQ; Vandenberg, 1989). Data were analyzed using multiple regression analysis. The findings indicated that social support was negatively and significantly associated with postpartum depression, whereas pregnancy depression and pregnancy anxiety were positively and significantly related to postpartum depression (p<0.01). Additionally, the predictor variables explained 36% of the variance in postpartum depression (p<0.001). These results demonstrate that social support, pregnancy depression, and pregnancy anxiety are significant predictors of postpartum depression and collectively contribute substantially to its explanation. Therefore, this study emphasizes the importance of considering both psychological and social factors during pregnancy and suggests that timely screening and interventions in this period can be effective steps in preventing and reducing adverse postpartum mental health outcomes.
