Objective: The primary objective of this study is to explore the mutual influence of postpartum depression (PPD) between mothers and their spouses, as well as the role of spouse participation in preventing and managing PPD in mothers.
Methods: A literature search was used to organize and analyze 64
articles, elaborating on the correlation between postpartum depression in
mothers and their spouses, the role of spouses' participation in preventing and
managing postpartum depression in mothers, and analyzing several commonly used
methods for spouses to participate.
Results: The incidence of PPD among mothers ranged from 3.1% to
20.4%, with an average incidence of 16.7%, and the incidence of PPD in maternal
spouses ranged from 3.4% to 14.7%, with an average incidence of 10.4%. There is
a significant correlation (r=0.20-0.42, all P<0.05) between PPD in mothers
and that in spouses. Spouses participating in the prevention and intervention
of PPD can effectively promote mutual understanding between fathers and mothers,
improve their marital relationships, reduce the level of depression in fathers
and mothers, lower the incidence of PPD, and promote postpartum recovery and
physical development of infants.
Conclusion: Spouse participation is one of the effective ways to
prevent and intervene in PPD, with good short-term effects. We need to conduct
additional large sample multicenter follow-up surveys or randomized controlled
studies to confirm its long-term effects.
