[The risk factors of mood changing during the perinatal period].

Orvosi Hetilap 2017 January
INTRODUCTION: The screening of perinatal depression was introduced in Szeged in April 2011.

AIM: Our aim was to assess the extent of perinatal mood changing and to explore the risk factors of it.

METHOD: Perinatal nurses gave the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale to the 3849 participants four times.

RESULTS: In the first trimester were the highest average scores (3.74) and pathological rate (10.8%) compared to the other measurement occasions. There was a positive correlation between the scores of the measurement occasions. The higher average scores related to the epidural anesthesia almost significantly, but significantly to the low birth weight, unplanned pregnancies, younger and older age, single marital status and multiparity of the participant.

CONCLUSIONS: Even the first trimester is sensitive to pathological mood changes, which besides with other factors could be risk factors to postpartum depression. To avoid this it is important to continue the screening and provide adequate help. Orv. Hetil., 2017, 158(4), 139-146.
