3. INTRODUCTION
Mental diseases are one of the most
common complications associated with
pregnancies and childbirth.
It was reported that postpartum
depression (PPD) is one of the important
public health problems affecting maternal
and child health.
4. INTRODUCTION (Contd…)
Postpartum psychological disorders lead
to maternal disability and disturbed
mother-infant relationship.
Postpartum depression is a serious
disorder which has been estimated to
affect 13-20% of women in industrialised
nations.
5. INTRODUCTION (Contd…)
It was identified that past history of
psychopathology, psychological
disturbance during pregnancy, poor
marital relationship, poor social support
and stressful life events are the primary
risk factors for developing postpartum
depression.
This is the first study examining the
prevalence of postpartum depression and
associated risk factors among Arab
women in Qatar.
6. OBJECTIVES
The aim of this study was to determine the
prevalence and identify the risk factors of
postpartum depression among Arab
women in Qatar using Edinburgh
Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS).
8. SUBJECTS & METHODS
Design: This is a prospective cross-sectional
study.
Setting: The study was conducted at Primary
Health Care Centers in Qatar.
Period of Study: January 2010 to May 2011.
Subjects: A representative sample of 1669
mothers within 6 months after delivery were
approached and 1379 (82.6%) mothers
participated in this study.
9. SUBJECTS & METHODS (Contd…)
Data Collection:
The survey instrument was initially
tested on 100 patients who visited the
health centres and thus validated the
questionnaire.
The study excluded mothers whose
postnatal period was over 6 months
and who refused to give consent to
take part in the study.
10. SUBJECTS & METHODS (Contd…)
Data Collection (Contd…):
A validated structured questionnaire
was used to collect the socio-
demographic variables, psychiatric
history, interpersonal relationship, life
events and obstetric risks with the help
of qualified nurses.
11. SUBJECTS & METHODS (Contd…)
The Edinburgh postpartum depression
scale (EPDS) was used to identify the
risk cases.
The EPDS is a 10-item self-report scale,
specifically designed to screen for
postpartum depression in primary
care.
12. SUBJECTS & METHODS (Contd…)
The EPDS is a reliable and valid
instrument, it has been used in a
number of international settings
The EPDS is a reliable and valid
instrument, it has been used in a
number of international settings
13. The EPDS questionnaire has items such as:
1. Having been able to laugh.
2. Having looked forward with enjoyment
to things.
3. Having blamed oneself unnecessarily.
4. having been anxious or worried for no
good reason.
5. Having felt scared or panicky for no
good reason.
14. The EPDS questionnaire has items (contd..)
6. Experiencing overload.
7. Having been so unhappy that it has
caused sleeping problems.
8. Having felt miserable or sad.
9. Having been so unhappy as to have
cried.
10.Thoughts of harming oneself.
15. The EPDS questionnaire has items (contd..)
Each item is scored on a 4-point scale
(0–3), the minimum and maximum total
score ranging from 0 to 30, respectively.
A score of ≥12, the most commonly
used cut off, is used to distinguish
women suffering from depression from
those who are not.
18. STATISTICAL ANALYSIS
Student-t test was used to ascertain the
significance of differences between
mean values of two continuous
variables.
Chi-square analysis was performed to
test for differences in proportions of
categorical variables between two or
more groups.
19. STATISTICAL ANALYSIS (Contd…)
Multivariate logistic regression analysis
using the forward inclusion and
backward deletion method was used to
assess the relationship between
dependent and independent variables
and to adjust for potential confounders
and orders the importance of risk factors
(determinant) for postpartum depression.
The level p<0.05 was considered as the
cut-off value for significance.
22. STUDY FINDINGS
There were statistically significant
differences observed between
depressed and non-depressed
mothers in their socio-demographic
characteristics;
23. STUDY FINDINGS
Mothers of age above 35 years (49.9% vs
39.2%; p<0.001),
Low education below intermediate level (51%
vs 35.8%; p<0.001),
Housewives (38.7% vs 29%; p=0.03),
Low monthly income (QR 5000-9999) (43.2% vs
32.2%;p<0.001)
24. STUDY FINDINGS
Maternal complications (38.7% vs 26.1%;
p<0.001) and caesarean section (36.2% vs
28.8%; p=0.022) were significantly higher
among depressed mothers compared to non-
depressed women.
25. STUDY FINDINGS
Financial difficulties (OR=2.04; p<0.001),
prematurity (OR=1.64; p=0.025),
poor family support (OR=1.52; p=0.016),
dissatisfaction in marital life (OR=1.26;
p=0.005),
poor marital relationship (OR=1.13; p=0.05)
were the main predictors of postpartum
depression.

34. CONCLUSION
The present study revealed the following:
The prevalence of postpartum
depression was higher than the rates
observed in developed countries.
The prevalence of postpartum
depression was greatest among mothers
with lower socio-economic level such as
advanced age, low education and
illiteracy, housewives, low family income.
35. CONCLUSION (Contd…)
Among the psychosocial factors, lack of
family support, marital disharmony,
stressful life events were significantly
associated with postpartum depression.
Financial difficulties, prematurity, lack of
family support and poor marital
relationships have been reported as main
risk factors for developing postpartum
depression.
