Material & Methods: Present study was a hospital based cross sectional study conducted in the pot natal ward of a tertiary care hospital in Andhra Pradesh. A total of 100 postpartum women were selected from the postnatal ward using simple random sampling technique. Mothers were interviewed using a pre designed questionnaire based on DSM-IV diagnostic criteria for major depression. Results: The overall prevalence of postpartum depression was found to be 22% (n=22). Prevalence of depression was more among women who were less than 25 years age group and illiterate women (p<0.05). Primi parous women and women having single child also had more depression compared with multiparous women. Family support during pregnancy and delivery had significant impact on post partum depression and it was statistically significant (p=0.01). Conclusions: Special concentration needs to be given on counselling aspects during pregnancy especially for women who are young and pregnant for first time.

2 Materials & Methods: Present study was a hospital based cross sectional study conducted in the pot natal ward of a tertiary care hospital in Andhra Pradesh. A total of 100 postpartum women were selected from the postnatal ward using simple random sampling technique. Duration of the study was four months from January 2015 to April Mothers were interviewed using a pre designed questionnaire based on DSM-IV diagnostic criteria for major depression. 5 Questionnaire also included variables to elicit the demographic, obstetric and family support: 1. Demographic details including age, educational qualification, family structure (nuclear/joint), occupation, environmental health status and socioeconomic status. 2. Obstetric history including number and gender of children, present pregnancy (fears and expectations regarding gender of child, mode of delivery, complications both during pregnancy and delivery), and any complication during previous pregnancies. 3. Relationship with and support from the family including relationship with the husband, parents, and in-laws. Informed consent was taken from the study participants. Data analysis was done using EPI INFO version 7 and appropriate statistical tests of significance were applied wherever necessary with p <0.05 considered statistically significant. Results: Demographic characteristics of the study population revealed that majority (54%) belonged to more than 25 years age group. Only about half of the population were literates. Majority were from Hindu religion, belonged to Joint/ three generation family and were home makers by occupation.

About 44% underwent either instrumental or caesarean section during the present delivery and about 45% had some kind of complications during delivery.

4 Discussion Present study which was done with an objective of determining the prevalence of post partum depression and factors associated with it found that the overall prevalence was 22%. Some of the identified risk factors in the study were age (<25 years age group), literacy status (illiterates), women delivered for the first time (primi parous), lower family support especially from partner. Study by Swapan et al in Delhi found that the overall prevalence of post partum depression at 15.8%. Factors such as education status, lower socio economic status, more than one girl child, pressure to have a male child, lower family support were significantly associated with post partum depression. 6 Another study by Nimisha D et al in Gujarat observed that the prevalence rate of postpartum depression (PPD) was 12.5%. Women who delivered a girl child were observed to have higher odds of getting PPD, also multigravida, women having past history of miscarriage, women feeling tense during pregnancy, women who could not confide in partner and absence of someone other than mother and partner in whom the woman could confide were found to be the strongest predictors for developing postpartum depression. 7 A qualitative study from rural south India on post partum depression found that 26.3% were diagnosed to have post-partum depression. The following factors were associated with post-partum depression after adjusting for age and education: age less than 20 or over 30 years, schooling less than five years, thoughts of aborting current pregnancy, unhappy marriage, physical abuse during current pregnancy and after childbirth, husband's use of alcohol, girl child delivered in the absence of living boys and a preference for a boy, low birth weight, and a family history of depression. 8 Conclusions: Higher prevalence rate of post partum depression was seen among women who delivered for first time, illiterate, younger age group women and who had low family support. Hence special concentration needs to be given on counselling aspects during pregnancy especially for women who are young and pregnant for first time. Involvement of partner during ante natal visits would reduce the stress on the women and also improve the concept of male participation in the Planned Parenthood movement. References 1.
