Over the course of one’s life, the vast majority of people
experience both times of elation and sadness. Life is filled with
an unpredictable series of these peaks and valleys. When one
continues to experience valleys of sadness over a prolonged
period of time without implementation of proper coping skills to
catapult them into a more neutral space, these individuals are at
risk for depression. Depression is described as overwhelming
feelings of sadness coupled with the loss of interest in
otherwise pleasurable activities. Although depression can occur
at any point across the lifespan, the effects of this illness is of
particular concern when it occurs during the post-partum period
(Buist, 1998).
Postpartum depression is experienced by an estimated 20%
of women after having given birth. It is characterized by
excessive feelings or worry, sadness, and fatigue related to
psychological adjustments and hormonal fluctuations after
pregnancy. Unlike the baby blues, these feelings don’t easily
resolve in a few days or weeks. Instead they linger on for
months and sometimes years. Because an infant’s ability to
form healthy bonds with his Mother occurs within the first few
hours to months of his life, it is important that Moms are both
physically and emotionally healthy (Buist, 1998). With this in
mind, it seems only natural to want be able to identify women
that are at risk for postpartum depression prior to delivery.
This very important concept lead me to select my PICOT
question.
My PICOT question is: Are women who have experienced
physical, emotional or sexual abuse, compared with those who
have not, at risk for developing postpartum depression within 3
years after childbirth?
Based on my limited research, studies suggest that there may
be a correlation between the two. I intend to investigate how
the two correlate. Furthermore, it is my objective to identify
how to best screen these expecting Moms as well as to identify
best practices based on EBR to facilitate the return of their
physical and emotional health. After all, these two components
play an integral part in a mother's ability to actively participate
in the mother-child bonding process that has proven to be
instrumental in healthy childhood development.
