Postpartum depression explains various groups of depressive symptoms and syndromes that can take place during the first 6 weeks following birth. The postpartum period is a critical time where both mild and severe mood disorders can occur. The familiar forms are baby blues and postpartum depression. Understanding the prevalence and associated factors of postpartum depression is mandatory for early detection and treatment. Institution based cross-sectional study was conducted from 1st May to June 30, 2018. The study participants were eligible women who came to Debre Berhan referral hospital and health centers for postnatal care and vaccination service. The Edinburgh postnatal depression scale was used to assess postpartum depression. A systematic random sampling technique was used to collect the data after determining the skip fraction (k = 2). The collected data were coded and entered into Epi-info version 7 and transported to SPSS version 20 for analysis. Both bivariate and multivariate binary logistic regression were done to identify associated factors. During bivariate analysis, variables with p-value < 0.05 were included in multivariate analysis. Odds ratios and their 95% confidence intervals were computed and variables with p-value less than 0.05 were considered to declare significantly associated factors (multivariate analysis). A total of 308 mothers who attended postpartum care we're included, which was a 100% response rate. The prevalence of postpartum depression was found to be 15.6% (95%CI = 11.7, 19.8). Being widowed/widower, having poor social support, having a current hospitalized child, and experienced a death of family member or close relative were significantly associated with postpartum depression. The prevalence of postpartum depression was lower than most studies done in different areas. Major life events and traumas are associated with an increased risk of postpartum depression. Health professionals should be aware of the mother’s circumstances during the puerperium, they should initiate support to reduce the risk of depression in the postpartum period. Health care professionals working postpartum care clinics should give special attention to mothers who are widowed/widower, have poor social support, have a current hospitalized children, and experienced a death of family member or close relative.

2018年，埃塞俄比亚德布勒·伯罕（Debre Berhan）产后护理参加者的产后抑郁症患病率及相关因素

产后抑郁症解释了可能在出生后的前6周内发生的各种抑郁症状和综合症。产后时期是轻度和重度情绪障碍均可发生的关键时期。常见的形式是婴儿布鲁斯和产后抑郁症。必须尽早了解产后抑郁症的患病率及其相关因素，以便及早发现和治疗。基于机构的横断面研究于2018年5月1日至6月30日进行。研究参与者为符合条件的妇女，她们前往Debre Berhan转诊医院和保健中心接受产后护理和疫苗接种服务。爱丁堡产后抑郁量表用于评估产后抑郁。确定跳过分数（k = 2）后，使用系统的随机采样技术收集数据。对收集的数据进行编码，然后输入Epi-info版本7，然后传输到SPSS版本20进行分析。进行了二元和多元二元逻辑回归分析以识别相关因素。在双变量分析中，p值<0.05的变量包括在多变量分析中。计算赔率及其95％置信区间，并认为p值小于0.05的变量声明了显着相关的因素（多变量分析）。包括308名参加产后护理的母亲在内，这是100％的回应率。发现产后抑郁症的患病率为15.6％（95％CI = 11.7，19.8）。丧偶/ d夫，社会支持差，目前有一个住院的孩子，并经历过家庭成员或近亲死亡与产后抑郁症显着相关。产后抑郁症的患病率低于在不同地区进行的大多数研究。重大的生活事件和创伤会增加产后抑郁症的风险。卫生专业人员应了解产妇在产褥期的情况，并应提供支持以减少产后抑郁症的风险。在产后保健诊所工作的医疗保健专业人员应特别注意那些丧偶/ wi夫，社会支持差，目前有住院治疗的孩子以及亲戚或直系亲属死亡的母亲。重大的生活事件和创伤会增加产后抑郁症的风险。卫生专业人员应了解产妇在产褥期的情况，并应提供支持以减少产后抑郁症的风险。在产后保健诊所工作的医疗保健专业人员应特别注意那些丧偶/ wi夫，社会支持差，目前有住院治疗的孩子以及亲戚或直系亲属死亡的母亲。重大的生活事件和创伤会增加产后抑郁症的风险。卫生专业人员应了解产妇在产褥期的情况，并应提供支持以减少产后抑郁症的风险。在产后保健诊所工作的医疗保健专业人员应特别注意那些丧偶/ wi夫，社会支持差，目前有住院治疗的孩子以及亲戚或直系亲属死亡的母亲。
