Introduction: Having an infant in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) is very stressful and increases the risk of postpartum depression. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of mindfulness intervention on the prevention of postpartum depression in mothers with preterm infants admitted to NICU. Materials and Methods: : In an interventional study, postpartum depression was compared in three groups under mindfulness-based developmental care (group 34 = 1), developmental care (group 39 = 2) and control (group 3 = 50). Sampling was purposive and group assignment was random. Data were collected using the Edinburgh Postpartum Depression Inventory and the Demographic Information Questionnaire. Results: The results of covariance analysis showed that the mean score of postpartum depression in the two months postpartum in the mindfulness-based developmental care group was significantly lower than the other two groups (pvalue <.01) While 78% of postpartum depression changes could be explained by the intervention R2 = 78%.. Conclusion: Mindfulness based interventions are effective in reducing postpartum depression scores and it is recommended that these interventions be considered at the NICUs for better effectiveness of developmental care programs and reduction of psychological complications in mothers.

Introduction: The Postpartum depression is a high prevalence health issue. Aim of study was to compare the effectiveness of cognitive-behavioral and acceptance and commitment therapies to anger in women with postpartum depression. Materials and Methods: The research method was quasi-experimental with pre-test-post-test design and 3-month follow-up with the control group. The statistical population was women with postpartum depression who referred to health centers in the west of Alborz province in 2019. 45 of these patients with Edinburgh Postpartum Depression Scale, their depression was confirmed, selected by available sampling method and by random sampling method in two experimental groups and one control (15 people in each group), Were located. The groups responded to the Persian version of the Spielberger state-trait anger expression inventory-2, for a pre-test. The members of Experimental group 1 received cognitive-behavioral therapy, and experimental group 2 received acceptance-commitment therapy. Control group did not receive any intervention. In the post-test, this questionnaire was administered again. Results: The mean and standard deviation of anger were 182.96±21.76 in the pre-test, 143.13±40.07 in the post-test, and 142.31±40.55 in the follow-up. Mean difference between cognitive-behavioral groups and acceptance and commitment therapy with the control was significant (P=0.000). Mean difference between the groups of cognitive-behavioral and acceptance and commitment therapy was not significant (P=1.000). In follow-up, mean difference between cognitive-behavioral and control was not significant (P=0.054), mean difference between acceptance and commitment therapy and control was significant (P=0.018). Conclusion: Considering the more stable effectiveness of acceptance and commitment therapy, it is suggested that, to reduce anger in women with postpartum depression, preferential treatment be considered.

Introduction: Postpartum depression (PPD) is an episode of major depression that has many negative effects on the mother and the newborn child. Some factors have been identified as the predictive factors for PPD in peripartum such as Peripartum and Postpartum Depression, and preterm labor. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between breastfeeding and PPD.Material and Methods: This research was a longitudinal study conducted in Darreh Shahr County, Ilam Province in 2015-2016. Of the 365 women who were pregnant about 38 weeks, 303 ones who had no depression according to the Edinburgh questionnaire were put under the study. The under study group was reexamined again with the Edinburgh questionnaire 6 to 8 weeks after delivery. 31 of them achieved grade 13 or greater of whom 29 ones were approved that had depression by a psychiatrist. The study was conducted on this group. Afterwards the relationship between breastfeeding and PPD and other effective variables including type of delivery, place of residence and etc, was investigated by dividing the samples into two groups namely depressed and non-depressed subjects. Results: Among the variables studied it was only breastfeeding that was connected to postpartum depression (P=0/004). This relationship was also positive (P =0/ 02) in the multivariate regression analysis.Conclusion: The results revealed that in the case of exclusive breastfeeding, the rate of PPD was decreased. Due to the high rate of prevalence of PPD

The purpose of this study was to determine postpartum depression based on spouse intimacy and general self-efficacy in the first birth.Material and Method: It was a cross- sectional study. The statistical population consists of all women who had the first birth experience in the city of Yazd. With multistage cluster random sampling method, 200 women selected and were tested by Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS), Sherer Self-Efficacy Scale (SES) and Walker and Thompson Intimacy Scale. Data was analyzed by Pearson correlation, Independent samples t-test, Analysis of Variance and Multivariate Regression analysis. Results: The results showed that there was a relationship between age and education with postpartum depression (p0.05). The main hypothesis of the study was that the spouse intimacy, self-efficacy and age were predicted postpartum depression in the first birth (p

Background and Purpose: Women are subject to postpartum depression in the childbearing age which is associated with aerious somplications for the mother infant and the family. Its cause is not known. Many studies have the effect of psychosocial factors in this regard but there is meager information on the biological grounds. Recently anemia has been on the focus as causing depression. This study was conducted to determine the the relationship between anemia and postpartum depression.
Methods and Materials: This prospective descripe-anlytical study was conducted on the population of women admitted to the Fatemiyyeh Health Center affiliated to Hamadan University of Medical Sciences Iran in 2006. The study sample included 159 normal (non depressed confirmed by the Beck test) pregnant women who were selected by convenient non-probability methods. With a gestational age of 38-40 weeks they were divided into two groups of anemics and non-anemics by their hemoglubin levels (measured by Cyan Matt). They were homegenized as for the confounders. On the 7th and 28th days after labor their hemoglubin was measred again. On the 28th day they completed the Edinburgh Questionnaire. The relationship between their postpartum depression and anemia was assessed three times. Chi-square t-test Mann Whitney and the relative risk tests were used in SPSS to analyze the obatained data.
Results: 14.6% of the non-anemics and 38.6% of the anemics (measured on the 38-40 weeks) were found t obe depressed on the 28th day after delivery and anemia had increased the chances of postpartum depression by 1.8 times 14.8% of the non-anemics and 35.9% of the anemics (measured on the 7th day after labor) were depressed on the 28th day and anemia had increased the chances of postpartum depression by 1.7 times. Also 11.5% of the non-anemics and 46% of the anemics (measured on the 28th day after labor) were depressed after labor. Anemia had increased the chances of postpartum depression by 2.5 times.
Conclusion: It seems that anemia in the 38-40 weeks of gestation on the 7th and 28th days after labor can increase the likelihood of postpartum depression.
