Postpartum depression in Indonesia women: a national study

---

Background: A mother’s postpartum depression may have long-term impacts on a child’s growth and development. This analysis aimed to identify several risk factors related to postpartum depression.

Methods:The data analyzed originated from a cross-sectional Basic Health Survey (Riskesdas) 2010 of Indonesia which provided specific information on the health Millennium Development Goals (MDG). Multistage sampling was used. For this analysis, we included married or ever-married women between the ages of 13-49 years who delivered babies during the period between 1 January 2005 and 31 August 2010. We used logistic regression methods to estimate the postpartum depression risk.

Results: The prevalence of postpartum depression was 2.32% (440/18937). Compared to women with average size babies, women who had very small babies had a higher risk (4.8-fold) for postpartum depression [adjusted odds ratio (ORa)=4.84; 95% confidence interval (CI)=2.89-8.12]. Women who had small babies had a 67% higher risk than women with average size babies for having post partum depression (ORa=1.67; 95% CI =1.20-2.33). In addition, All women who reported any delivery complications were at a greater risk for postpartum depression. Compared to those who did not report any complications, those who reported premature rupture of the membrane during their deliveries (ORa=6.02; 95% CI=4.63-7.83), followed by those who experienced obstructive labor (ORa=5.75; 95% CI=3.05-10.85) were at a greater risk for postpartum depression.

Conclusion:Women who reported any delivery complication or had a very small or small babies had a higher risk for postpartum depression.(Health Science Indones 2012;1:3-8)
