Prevalence of Emotional and Psychological Behaviours in Post-partum Mothers

Numerous mothers face mental and emotional challenges in the postpartum phase, such as postpartum depression and anxiety. Hormonal fluctuations, lack of sleep, and the strain of taking care of a newborn are some of the causes of these problems. Accessing help and treatment remains difficult despite growing awareness. To enhance outcomes for mothers and their infants, as well as to promote maternal mental health, it is imperative to comprehend the prevalence of these issues and the variables that contribute to them. This will enable the development of efficient interventions and support systems. The present research intends to gain insight into the incidence of psychological and emotional tendencies in new mothers. A self-administered questionnaire measuring the emotional and psychological well-being of 247 postpartum mothers participated in the study. To guarantee a varied sample, participants were chosen from a variety of sources. The questionnaire included demographic information for mothers aged 22 to 45, as well as questions about emotional experiences throughout the postpartum period. Data gathering took place online. To analyse prevalence rates and investigate the connections between demographic characteristics and emotional outcomes, inferential techniques and descriptive statistics was used. The results of the questionnaire survey showed that 26.58% of new moms frequently experienced emotional and psychological dysfunction, and 17.1% of them continuously had emotional and psychological problems after giving birth. These findings show the incidence and durability of emotional difficulties experienced by postpartum mothers, emphasising the importance of tailored assistance and interventions to promote maternal mental health and well-being during this vital period. The findings indicate a high prevalence of mental health difficulties in this study, which is in accordance with previous studies on mothers' vulnerability at this key period.众多产后女性会面临产后抑郁（postpartum depression）与产后焦虑（postpartum anxiety）等心理及情绪挑战。激素波动、睡眠不足以及照料新生儿的压力是此类问题的部分诱因。尽管社会对产后心理健康的关注度与日俱增，但产后女性获取帮助与治疗的途径依然有限。为改善产妇及其婴儿的结局，并推动孕产妇心理健康事业发展，明晰此类问题的流行率与相关影响变量至关重要，此举将助力高效干预方案与支持体系的构建。本研究旨在深入探究新晋产妇的心理与情绪问题发生率。本研究共招募247名产后女性，采用自评（self-administered）问卷对其情绪与心理健康状况进行评估；为确保样本具有多样性，研究人员通过多渠道招募研究对象。问卷内容涵盖22至45岁产妇的人口学信息，以及产后阶段的情绪体验相关问题，数据采集全程在线完成。为分析问题流行率并探究人口学特征与情绪结局间的关联，研究采用了描述性统计与推论统计方法。问卷调查结果显示，26.58%的新晋产妇频繁出现情绪与心理功能失调，17.1%的产妇在产后长期存在情绪与心理问题。上述结果揭示了产后女性所面临情绪困境的发生率与持续性，凸显了在这一关键时期为产妇提供定制化支持与干预方案、助力其心理健康与福祉提升的重要性。本研究结果显示产后女性心理健康问题的患病率较高，这与既往针对该关键时期产妇易感性的相关研究结论一致。
