ABSTRACT

Objective

To gain an in-depth understanding of the lived experience of women with postnatal depression (PND).

Background

Although there is a small body of existing research which explores subjective experience of this phenomenon, relatively little research has been carried out and is prior to the publication of the NICE guidelines for PND in 2007.

Method

Semi-structured interviews were carried out with six mothers (aged 23–40 years), who had taken part in a PND support group. Verbatim transcripts were analysed using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA).

Results

One broad superordinate theme of ‘the conflicted mother’ emerged from the data, with four corresponding sub-themes (own mother as absent and judgemental; internalised mother; pregnancy on the road to motherhood as an unpleasant stranger; the ideal mother).

Conclusion

It is argued that a broad umbrella construct of ‘the conflicted mother’ exists in PND experience. This study highlights the importance of the mother’s own maternal relationship in living with depression. The authors discuss limitations of the study, make service recommendations to improve current clinical practice for women with PND, and provide future research directions.

“妈妈应该坚强和支持——而不是坐在角落里摇晃和哭泣”:对英国母亲产后抑郁症经历的解释性现象学分析

摘要

客观的

深入了解产后抑郁症 (PND) 女性的生活经历。

背景

尽管现有研究的一小部分探索了这种现象的主观体验,但在 2007 年 NICE PND 指南发布之前进行的研究相对较少。

方法

对参加 PND 支持小组的六位母亲(年龄 23-40 岁)进行了半结构化访谈。使用解释性现象学分析 (IPA) 分析逐字记录。

结果

数据中出现了“矛盾的母亲”的一个广泛的上位主题,以及四个相应的子主题(自己的母亲缺席和评判;内化的母亲;作为一个令人不快的陌生人在成为母亲的道路上怀孕;理想的母亲)。

结论

有人认为,PND 体验中存在“冲突母亲”的广泛伞形结构。这项研究强调了母亲自身的母性关系在抑郁症中的重要性。作者讨论了研究的局限性,提出服务建议以改善 PND 女性的当前临床实践,并提供未来的研究方向。
