Introduction Postnatal depression is a serious mental health problem. In low-income countries, there has been only limited research investigating the direct link between childrearing attitude and maternal mood. The present study sought to determine the prevalence of probable depressive state among mothers in Vietnam, and to examine its risk factors with respect to social support and maternal childrearing attitude. Methods A questionnaire survey was conducted in 299 consecutive mothers who visited Tu Du Obstetrical and Gynecological Hospital, a tertiary hospital, for regular check-up between one and three months postpartum. The questionnaire was administered by trained pediatricians in October through December 2007. Depression was assessed using a two-question case-finding instrument for depression. Results Sixty-eight of the 294 (23.1%) mothers of singletons were assessed as having probable depressive state. Parental and familial conflict and recent moving was strongly associated with probable depressive state. In terms of childrearing attitude, the following factors increased risk of probable depressive state of mothers; lack of confidence (adjusted odds ratio = 2.74, 95% confidence interval: 1.40–5.38), and less relaxed feeing (adjusted odds ratio = 2.85, 95% confidence interval: 1.21–6.71) after controlling for subjective health. Discussion Mothers who felt unconfident and were less relaxed in childrearing were more likely to report a probable depressive state. Social support factors may have played a role in the depression. A brief screening tool for depression is useful to identify mothers in need of additional support in childrearing. |
