Quality of sleep in Third-Trimester Pregnancy and Non-Psychotic Postpartum Depression
Abstract
Objective: The objective of this study was to investigate whether the quality of sleep in third-trimester of pregnancy is a risk factor for non-psychoticpostpartum depression (NPPD), in women without a diagnosed psychiatric disorder.
Method: In the third-trimester of pregnancy 218 pregnant women completed a questionnaire constructed for research purposes and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). Four weeks after childbirth, the participants filled in Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) and received structured interview diagnoses.
Results: High risk for NPPD (score on EPDS ≥13) was found in 21 (9.63%). Higher rates on the EPDS were noticed in single, unemployed/housewife, women who are getting little social support, women who were dissatisfied with their annual household income and with unwanted pregnancy (p< 0.05). Social support and quality of sleep were positively and annual household income and marital satisfaction were negatively related to NPPD. Third-trimester quality of sleep was related to NPPD symptoms, and the correlation was statistically significant (p<0.05).
Conclusion:Poor third-trimester quality of sleep is a risk factor for NPPD.
