dc.description.abstractPurpose: In the current study we aimed: (1) to report the prevalence of postpartum depression (PPD) among Turkish women in Denizli province; (2) description of the association of PPD with risk factors among working and non-working women. Methods: A descriptive and cross-sectional study conducted at the Maternal and Child Health and Family Planning Center in Denizli State Hospital. The research sample consisted of 250 women who came for follow-up between August-October 2008, and voluntarily agreed to participate. Socio-demographic and obstetric variables were collected through a socio-demographic and obstetric questionnaire. To achieve the goals of the current study, we employed the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI). Results: Working women's mean depression score was 27.35 +/- 17.52 while non-working women's mean depression score was 21.32 +/- 16.54. The BDI-based prevalence of PPD (to the cut off score of, 17) was 60.8%. As a result of the multiple regression analysis, it was determined that working women's age, delivery mode, satisfaction with the baby's sex, baby's nutritional style and health status increased the depression scores in a linear fashion. Fifty one percent of the working women's mean depression scores could be explained by these independent variables (R-2 = 0.51). As a result of the multiple regression analysis, it was determined that non-working mothers' educational level, satisfaction with the baby's sex, family support, health status, relations with the spouse increased the depression scores linearly. Fifty eight percent of the variation in working mothers' mean depression scores can be explained by these independent variables (R-2 = 0.58). Conclusion: The findings of the current study revealed high BDI -based PPD prevalence in a sample of Turkish women and described a number of risk factors associated with PPD. The high prevalence found in this study indicated a need for developing new interventions for early detection and treatment of PPD.en_US
