Material and Methodology This is a cross sectional study involving 293 women from postnatal ward HUSM. They were screened for depression at day 1 to day 5 postpartum and 4 to 6 weeks postpartum using the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS). At the first visit, the women completed questionnaires on socio-demography and obstetric risk factors, Brief Patient Health Questionnaire (BPHQ-9) and Life Event Scale questionnaire. At the second visit which is 4-6 weeks postpartum, they only completed EPDS. Results Two hundred and ninety-three women successfully completed the study 8 response rates. The prevalence of PND at 4-6 weeks postpartum using the EPDS score of 12 or more was 27.3% (80 out of 293 women). The prevalence of depression at early postpartum period based on EPDS was 22.5%. Women with the history of abortion (p<0.05) and early postnatal depression (p<0.05) was significantly associated with PND. Conclusion Postnatal depression among women in Hospital USM was more common compared to previously reported series in Malaysia. Women with the history of abortion and early postnatal depression was significantly associated with PND. Early identification of potential risk for postnatal depression should include assessment of socio-demography,personality, psychiatric history and recent life events, as well as past and present obstetric factors. 2006 Thesis http://eprints.usm.my/47365/ http://eprints.usm.my/47365/1/Relationship%20Between%20Obstetric%20Risk%20Factors%20And%20Postnatal%20Depression%20Among%20Women%20Who%20Deliver%20At%20HUSM...2006...mka..-24%20pages.pdf application/pdf en public masters Universiti Sains Malaysia Pusat Pengajian Sains Perubatan
