Abstract

Aim: The aim of this study is to investigate postpartum depression (PPD) levels in postpartum women living in rural areas.
Material and Method: The study was carried out between 10.11.2022 and 10.11.2023 at a Training and Research Hospital in Ağrı province. The study was designed as a cross-sectional study and was conducted with 337 participants. In the study, the Data Collection Form and the Edinburgh Postpartum Depression Scale (EPDS) were used.
Results: In the study, the mean Edinburgh Postpartum Depression Scale (EPDS) score was found to be 11.51 ± 4.77 (min-max: 1-25). Age groups, place of residence, income and expense status, educational status, spouse's education status and mother's employment status, planned pregnancy status, number of pregnancies, number of stillbirths/miscarriages, postpartum weight, violence during pregnancy and presence of social support, starting work after birth. It was determined that there was a relationship between the time of birth, the time of holding the baby after birth, complications developing in the baby and the mother, and the scale score averages (p <0.05).
Conclusion: According to the results of the study, it was determined that women living in rural areas have a high risk of PPD due to various reasons such as having to do heavy work, being exposed to domestic violence, and ignoring their health problems.

Abstract

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı kırsalda yaşayan postpartum dönem kadınlarda postpartum depresyon (PPD) düzeylerini araştırmaktır.
Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışma 10.11.2022 ve 10.11.2023 tarihleri arasında Ağrı ilinde bulunan bir eğitim ve araştırma hastanesinde gerçekleştirildi. Çalışma, kesitsel tipte bir çalışma olarak dizayn edildi ve 337 katılımcı ile gerçekleştirildi. Çalışmada, Veri Toplama Formu ve Edinburg Postpartum Depresyon Ölçeği (EPDÖ) kullanıldı.
Bulgular: Çalışmada, Edinburg Postpartum Depresyon Ölçeği (EPDÖ) puan ortalaması 11.51 ± 4.77 (min-max: 1-25) olarak saptandı. Yaş grupları, yaşanılan yer, gelir gider durumu, eğitim durumu, eşinin eğitim durumu ve annenin çalışma durumu, planlı gebelik durumu, gebelik sayısı, ölü/düşük doğum sayısı, doğum sonrası verilen kilo, gebelikte şiddet ve sosyal destek varlığı, doğumdan sonra işe başlama zamanı, doğum sonrası bebeği kucağa alma zamanı, bebekte ve annede gelişen komplikasyonlar ile ölçek puan ortalamaları arasında ilişki olduğu saptandı (p<0.05).
Sonuç: Çalışmanın sonuçlarına göre, kırsalda yaşayan kadınların, ağır işlerde çalışmak zorunda kalması, aile içi şiddete maruz kalmaları, sağlık problemlerinin göz ardı edilmesi gibi çeşitli nedenlerden dolayı yüksek oranda PPD riski taşıdığı saptanmıştır.
