To current study aimed to estimate the point prevalence and identify correlates of postpartum depression (PPD) in a sample of mothers in Dhaka. A total of 235 participants from low- and middle-SES neighbourhoods in Dhaka completed the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) and other assessments of socioeconomic and psychological factors at 24 weeks postpartum. Regression models were fit to explore potential correlates of PPD. The estimated prevalence of high PPD risk in the current sample is 24.3%. In multivariable linear regression models, recent life events, perceived stress and household resources (e.g., access to cooking gas, telephone, furniture, electricity, television, etc.) were significantly associated with PPD. The association of social support with PPD when controlling for other variables was sensitive to the choice of social support measure, highlighting an important methodological issue. The point prevalence of PPD among poor, urban mothers in Bangladesh ranges from 12.3 to 28.5%, with psychological risk factors and household resources as strong correlates.

孟加拉国达卡 6 个月产后抑郁症的社会经济和心理相关性

目前的研究旨在估计达卡母亲样本中的点患病率并确定产后抑郁症 (PPD) 的相关性。来自达卡中低 SES 社区的 235 名参与者在产后 24 周完成了爱丁堡产后抑郁量表 (EPDS) 和其他社会经济和心理因素评估。回归模型适合探索 PPD 的潜在相关性。当前样本中高 PPD 风险的估计患病率为 24.3%。在多变量线性回归模型中，近期生活事件、感知压力和家庭资源（例如，获得燃气、电话、家具、电力、电视等）与 PPD 显着相关。在控制其他变量时，社会支持与 PPD 的关联对社会支持测量的选择很敏感，突出了一个重要的方法学问题。孟加拉国贫困城市母亲的 PPD 点患病率为 12.3% 至 28.5%，与心理风险因素和家庭资源密切相关。
