A Cross Sectional Study of Predictors of Antenatal Depression in Unmarried Korean Pregnant Women Receiving Shelter Services
نویسنده
چکیده
This study aimed to explore the predicting factors of antenatal depression in unmarried pregnant women. A total of 137 unmarried pregnant women receiving shelter services from 20 welfare facilities in Korea were invited to participate in this study. Social support, self-esteem, and antenatal depression were assessed using structured questionnaires. Antenatal depression was measured using the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale. Participants were divided into two groups based on EPDS scores (Depression = greater than 10, Not Depression = 9 or less). Bivariate logistic analysis was used to identify predicting factors of antenatal depression. Results showed that significant predictors of antenatal depression were a history of childbirth, informational support, evaluation support, and self-esteem. These findings need to be considered when developing interventions for unmarried pregnant women that focus on prevention and management of antenatal depression.
