Object: The Object of this study was to explore the level of baby blues of mother during two weeks after delivery. Participants: 215 mothers 4 days postpartum in a sample of women in Piedmont. Method: the depressive postpartum symptomatology have been measured through Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) (Cox, Holden, Sagovsky, 1987). Result and discussion: First analysis show that 36,4% of women presented an high score to the EPDS (Benvenuti et al. 1999). Total score at EPDS significantly correlated to others events of depression (r Pearson = 0,208, p<0,05). Past events were associated to depressive symptoms fundable in relatives (r Pearson = 0,316, p<0,01) and in partner (r Pearson = 0,440, p<0,01). Both these factors were significantly correlated to a high score at the EPDS (respectively: Tau-b = 0,240, p<0,01 e Tau-b = 0,165, p<0,01). The 58.1% of women have not received any support by their mother during pregnancy and delivery. Only the 44.7% of the women with an high score at the EPDS have received support by their mother. In relation to data is clear the importance of taking charge soon, in a moment so delicate as puerperium.

Abstract

Object: The Object of this study was to explore the level of baby blues of mother during two weeks after delivery. Participants: 215 mothers 4 days postpartum in a sample of women in Piedmont. Method: the depressive postpartum symptomatology have been measured through Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) (Cox, Holden, Sagovsky, 1987). Result and discussion: First analysis show that 36,4% of women presented an high score to the EPDS (Benvenuti et al. 1999). Total score at EPDS significantly correlated to others events of depression (r Pearson = 0,208, p<0,05). Past events were associated to depressive symptoms fundable in relatives (r Pearson = 0,316, p<0,01) and in partner (r Pearson = 0,440, p<0,01). Both these factors were significantly correlated to a high score at the EPDS (respectively: Tau-b = 0,240, p<0,01 e Tau-b = 0,165, p<0,01). The 58.1% of women have not received any support by their mother during pregnancy and delivery. Only the 44.7% of the women with an high score at the EPDS have received support by their mother. In relation to data is clear the importance of taking charge soon, in a moment so delicate as puerperium.
