Abstract: | ObjectivesThe aim of this study was to determine the influence of early postpartum home visits in reducing the incidence of puerperal depression in our environment.Material and methodsA total of 430 patients with uncomplicated pregnancy and delivery were randomized to two homogeneous groups (one group receiving an early postpartum home visit and a control group). The hospital anxiety and depression scale was used to assess puerperal depression at 7 and 30 days.ResultsAt 7 days, 10.2% of the patients had a positive score for puerperal depression. At 30 days, the incidence of puerperal depression was lower in the group receiving an early home visit (0.9%) than in the control group (3.7%).ConclusionThe incidence of postpartum depression in our setting was similar to the expected incidence. Early postpartum home visits seem to be useful in detecting this disorder and in reducing symptoms. |
