説明

Background and Purpose: Postnatal depression （PND） is prevalent in the general population in Japan. However, there are no data on the actual condition and related factors for PND in Chinese women in Japan, which is the largest group of foreign women living in Japan. This study was performed to clarify the tendency of PND and its related factors in Chinese mothers living in Japan. Methods: We carried out a mailed selfadministered questionnaire survey among Chinese mothers living in Japan who had given birth to a baby in the previous 3-4 months. Survey items included the status of mothers and children, family support, and the Edinburgh Postpartum Depression Scale （EPDS）. Logistic regression analysis was utilized for statistical analysis. Results: The proportion of high-PND-risk respondents among the 80 participants was 36.3%. The results indicated that the factors affecting PND risk are parenting loneliness （Odds ratio: 7.416, p=0.003） and support from the husband（ Odds ratio: 0.357, p=0.047）. Conclusion: The loneliness of child-rearing and the support status of the husband in the 3rd-4th month after childbirth are DNP risk factors for Chinese mothers in Japan. The presence of support from the husband will not only be helpful in housework and childcare, but will also support the mother’s spirit and alleviate the loneliness of child-rearing. In addition, as the PND risk of Chinese mothers is high in the 3rd- 4th month after childbirth, it is necessary to strengthen mental support during this period.
