Abstract

ABSTRACTPostpartum depression is a prevalent condition, and preliminary data suggest that the COVID-19 pandemic further increased its incidence. Building on scholarship that has shown the value of exploring patients’ narratives for diagnosis and treatment, this study examines narratives of recovery in an online support forum, using theories of narrative identity. An online forum with 64 participants suffering from postpartum depression was analyzed according to grounded theory. A thematic analysis uncovered two dominant narratives: the full recovery or inevitable progress narrative, and the cyclical recovery or struggle as norm narrative. This study illustrates the complicated interaction between medical institutions, recovery narratives, and identity. Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1 Participants are identified with a random number created by the forum hosts to anonymize the data.:

挣扎恢复或恢复斗争:对产后抑郁症患者作为实践话语的恢复叙事的批判性检查
摘要产后抑郁症是一种普遍存在的疾病,初步数据显示,新冠肺炎大流行进一步增加了产后抑郁症的发病率。在学术研究的基础上,研究显示了探索患者对诊断和治疗的叙述的价值,本研究利用叙述身份理论,研究了在线支持论坛中关于康复的叙述。对64名产后抑郁症患者参加的在线论坛进行了实证分析。主题分析揭示了两种主要叙事:完全复苏或不可避免的进步叙事,以及作为常态的周期性复苏或挣扎叙事。本研究阐明了医疗机构、康复叙述和身份之间复杂的相互作用。披露声明作者未报告潜在的利益冲突。注1参与者的身份是由论坛主持人创建的随机数,以匿名化数据。
