本研究的目的是评估影响产后抑郁症（PPD）的因素，其中61名白色，非洲裔美国人和西班牙裔低收入医疗补助受助人参加了产前计划在当地卫生部门在北卡罗来纳州东南部。研究结果表明，在怀孕前或怀孕期间经历情绪变化（如抑郁和焦虑）的母亲报告PPD水平增加（p = 0.035）。近三分之一的母亲表现出轻微（17.3%）或严重（15.4%）的抑郁症状。与这一人群一起工作的社区卫生护士需要越来越多地了解低收入母亲中PPD的根本原因和患病率，以便进行早期筛查和干预。
The purpose of this study was to assess factors impacting postpartum depression (PPD) among the 61 White, African American, and Hispanic low-income Medicaid recipients who enrolled in a prenatal program at a local health department in rural Southeastern North Carolina. The findings indicate that mothers who experienced mood changes, such as depression and anxiety, before or during pregnancy reported an increased level of PPD (p = 0.035). Nearly a third of the mothers displayed either minor (17.3%) or major (15.4%) depressive symptoms. Community health nurses working with this population need to be increasingly aware of the underlying causes and prevalence of PPD among low income mothers for early screening and intervention.
