Abstract

Postpartum depression is one of the major public health concerns for women of reproductive age. Studies have shown a rise in postpartum depression among nursing mothers in every part of Southwest Nigeria.Therefore, this study examined the predictors (Knowledge and sociodemographic characteristics) of Help-seeking intention towards postpartum depression among nursing mothers in Osogbo, Osun State. A cross-sectional design was adopted for this study. The multistage sampling technique was used to enroll two hundred and fifty nursing mothers from the total population of nursing mothers from facilities in the study location. Data was collected using a validated interviewer-administered questionnaire consisting of items on demographic characteristics, Knowledge of nursing mothers on postpartum depression, and items on Help-seeking intention towards postpartum depression. A standard mental help-seeking intention tool was used. Help-seeking intention toward postpartum depression was measured on a 7-point rating scale, which was categorised into low (≤ 4) and high (> 4-7). Descriptive statistics (Frequency) and Inferential statistics (Chi-square, binary logistic regression) were conducted to give statistical responses to the research hypotheses. The mean age of the mothers was 29.3 ± 5.4 years. The majority (85.6%) of the respondents were married. More than half (58.4%) of the respondents had tertiary education. More than half (59.6%) of the respondents had high Help-seeking intention toward postpartum depression. Furthermore, the respondent’s level of education had a significant relationship with Help-seeking intention toward postpartum depression (X2=19.1; p=0.004). However, there was no significant between respondent’s age (X2= 1.58;p=0.45); marital status (X2= 3.51; p=0.32); religion (X2=1.18;p=0.55); occupation (x= 10.0; p= 0.07); monthly income (X2= 5.71; p= 0.06) and Help-seeking intention toward postpartum depression. There was a statistically significant association between the respondents' knowledge and the Help-seeking intention of nursing mothers.

奥松州奥索博市哺乳母亲产后抑郁求助意向的预测因素
产后抑郁症是育龄妇女关注的主要公共卫生问题之一。研究表明,尼日利亚西南部各地的哺乳母亲产后抑郁症的发病率都有所上升。因此,本研究考察了奥孙州奥索博市哺乳母亲产后抑郁求助意向的预测因素(知识和社会人口学特征)。本研究采用横断面设计。采用多阶段抽样技术,从研究地点设施的哺乳母亲总人口中招募250名哺乳母亲。数据是使用经验证的访谈者管理的问卷收集的,该问卷包括人口统计学特征、哺乳母亲对产后抑郁症的知识和产后抑郁症求助意向。使用了标准的心理求助意向工具。产后抑郁症求助意向采用7分评定量表进行测量,分为低(≤4)和高(>4-7)。采用描述性统计学(频率)和推断统计学(卡方,二元逻辑回归)对研究假设进行统计响应。母亲的平均年龄为29.3±5.4岁。大多数(85.6%)受访者已婚。超过一半(58.4%)的受访者受过高等教育。超过一半(59.6%)的受访者对产后抑郁症有较高的求助意愿。此外,受访者的受教育程度与产后抑郁症求助意向之间存在显著关系(X2=19.1;p=0.004);婚姻状况(X2=3.51;p=0.32);宗教(X2=1.18;p=0.55);职业(x=10.0;p=0.07);月收入(X2=5.71;p=0.06)和产后抑郁症求助意向。受访者的知识与哺乳母亲寻求帮助的意愿之间存在统计学上显著的相关性。
