  • Introduction

    The postpartum depressions (PPD), rank first postpartum complications and therefore pose a public health problem by their frequencies and their adverse consequences.

    Objectives

    To detect the depression among a Tunisian parturient, to evaluate their perceived stress and to study the link between these entities

    Methods

    A cross-sectional, analytical study of 40 first week postpartum women hospitalized in the gynecology department in Hedi Cheker hospital in Sfax-Tunisia, during the month of September 2019. We used the Arab version of Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) and the Cohen perceived stress scale (PSS).

    Results

    The average age of the participants was 31.07 years old. The Parturient have a rural origin in 62.5% of cases, they have a secondary school level in 52.5% of cases. There were exaggerated sympathetic signs in 52.5% of the cases. An organic pathologies were present during pregnancy in 47.5%. The postpartum period was simple in 77.5% of cases. For the post-natal period, 90% of parturient were going to receive help of a family member. EPDS: the average score was5.35 and the risk of developing a PPD was 20%. PSS we found that life represents a perpetual threat in 27% of cases. The factors correlated with the PPD were: a high level of perceived stress (p < 0.00) and organic pathology during pregnancy (p=0.02).

    Conclusions

    Our study shows that the risk of postpartum depression is high among Tunisian parturient and it is associated with high level of stress, because of this a precocious screening is necessary.

  • The post partum as specific risk factor for the onset of obsessive-compulsive disorder: clinical- controlled study

  • Giuseppe Maina, Patrizia Vaschetto, Simona Ziero, Rossella Di Lorenzo, Filippo Bogetto
  • Journal:
    Epidemiologia e Psichiatria Sociale / Volume 10 / Issue 2 / June 2001

  • Objective – The aim of this study is to evaluate the presence of triggering life-events for the onset of Obsessive–Compulsive Disorder in women (OCD). Design – Clinical controlled study. Setting – Service for depressive and anxiety disorders; Department of Neuroscience, Psichiatric Unit, University of Turin. Methods – The study compares twenthy-nine women with OCD (DSM-IV criteria) with twenthy–nine healthy control women matched for demographic features and with twenthy-ni– ne women with Bulimia Nervosa (DSM-IV criteria) matched for age, age at onset, education and marital status. All patients were assessed with the Clinical Structured Interview for DSMIII-R (SCID) and with the Interview for Recent Life Event by Paykel. Moreover, OCD patients were assessed with the Yale-Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale (Y-BOCS) and bulimic patients with the Eating Disorder Inventory (EDI). Results – The study demonstrates that the only specific life event that is significantly associated with the onset of OCD is “having a new born child” No significant differences in frequency and severity of stressing life events were found in the three groups. Conclusions – The results confirms the findings of our previous study: post partum is the only risk factor for the onset of OCD in female population, compared to healthy control. Furthermore, this research points-out the importance and the specificity of this association showing that post partum is not a risk factor in all psychiatric disorders.
