Report on ‘Study on the status of postpartum depression and ways to improve it’
analysis of postpartum depression data from national Health Insurance Corporation from 2015 to 2022
The older you are and the more you give birth naturally, the lower the chance of occurrence.
This is contained in the report ‘Study on the current status of postpartum depression and betterment measures’ recently published by the Korea Institute for Health and Social Affairs on the 30th.
Postpartum depression is an emotional illness that generally occurs within a few weeks after giving birth and is accompanied by various emotional and cognitive symptoms such as sadness, anxiety, helplessness, sleep disorders, and guilt.
Since it has a significant impact on the daily lives of pregnant women and can develop into serious mental health problems without early intervention, the World Health Institution (WHO) considers postpartum depression a public health issue that requires social and medical intervention.
Using data from the National Health Insurance service, the researchers analyzed the characteristics of mothers who gave birth between 2015 and 2022 and who used medical care for postpartum depression within one year after giving birth.
According to this, the total number of pregnant women plummeted from 427,889 in 2015 to 244,976 in 2022, while the number of mothers who developed postpartum depression increased from 5,892 to 7,839 during the same period.
The number of mothers developing postpartum depression increased across all age groups, with the highest number of cases among those aged 30 to 34, the period when most children give birth, and the scale of the disease occurring among mothers aged 25 to 39.
Though, the prevalence was found to be highest among mothers under the age of 24. It increased 2.3 times from 2.7% in 2015 to 6.3% in 2022.
It is analyzed that biological,psychological and social factors play a complex role in the occurrence of postpartum depression.
As a result of the researchers conducting a regression analysis regarding the factors causing the onset,it was found that the likelihood of developing postpartum depression tended to decrease as age increased.
Depending on the number of births, light deliveries (non-first deliveries) were approximately 4.3% higher than first deliveries, and by delivery method, the likelihood of natural childbirth was approximately 12.1% lower than that of a cesarean section.
A past diagnosis of depression served as the strongest risk factor.Mothers who were diagnosed with depression during pregnancy were 13.7 times more likely to develop postpartum depression than those who were not, and having a history of diagnosis within the year immediately prior to pregnancy increased the likelihood by 5.9 times.
By type of subscriber, medical benefit recipients showed a probability of occurrence that was about twice as high as that of local subscribers. The number of employed subscribers and their dependents was 36.3% and 16.4% lower than that of local subscribers, respectively.
Postpartum depression has also been shown to affect plans for additional births.
As a result of the researchers’ analysis of raw data from the 2024 Family and Childbirth Survey, the experience of postpartum depression had a negative effect on the intention to have additional children when the number of children currently born was lower than the number planned at the time of marriage.
Simply put, even if you had previously planned to have more children, experiencing postpartum depression may cause your desire to have more children to disappear. Postpartum depression occurs earlier and has milder symptoms than postpartum depression, but it occurs more commonly in new mothers.
The researchers pointed out that not only are the current postpartum mental health promotion policies unsystematic, but there is also a large gap in services depending on the region. support for treatment
