Purpose :The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between postpartum depression and general characteristics, physical symptoms of postpartum woman.
Methods :The subjects were 80 women who admitted for postpartum treatment in Oriental Hospital of Woosuk University from September 2004 to December 2004. I uesd EPDS and STAI-KYZ to assess the degree of postpartum depression. I studied the factors in influencing the incidence of postpartum depression and investigated the correlation between EPDS and STAI-KYZ.
Results :According to the results of EPDS research, the high risk group was 8 women(10%), the risk group was 10 women (12.5%). There was significant correlation between EPDS and STAI-KYZ scores(P<0.01). There was significant correlation between the general characters of postpartum and EPDS, STAI-KYZ scores(P<0.01). EPDS score of 20s is higher than 30s and there was statistically significant correlation(P<0.05).
Conclusion :If the woman is assumed or diagnosed as postpartum depression by EPDS, I think that more detailed research about her personal state and more aggressive theraphy are needed.
