This study sought to investigate how some socio-demo-economic variables influence postnatal depression. The study adopted a sequential explanatory mixed methods design. Using the purposive sampling technique, 205 postnatal women between the ages of 15–39 years and are 4–12 weeks old postpartum were drawn from a population of women accessing postnatal services in a Ghanaian hospital. Two-way ANOVA was used to analyze the data. Further, 10 people who scored high on the postnatal well-being scale were employed for the qualitative study. Qualitative data was analysed using IPA. It was revealed that mothers are at a significantly increased risk of developing PND as a result of the age of their babies, their marital status, occupational status, housing and level of income. Some socio-demo-economic variables have been identified as core influencers of postnatal depression in Ghanaian women. Families are therefore encouraged to prepare adequately to receive additions. |
