| dc.description.abstract | The major purpose of this research is to determine the factors that contribute to postpartum depression among nursing mothers in Ibadan North Local Government Area, Ibadan Oyo State, Nigeria, as well as the association between postpartum depression and maternal wellbeing among nursing mothers. The study was a facility based cross-sectional design study, aimed at nursing mothers visiting primary health centers in Ibadan North Local Government Area. Using a simple random sampling method 300 consenting nursing mothers were sampled from 5 PHCs. Data were collected using Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS). The data was analyzed using the chi square approach to determine the association or relationship between postpartum depression and maternal wellbeing, and logistic regression was utilized to identify the significant components. The respondents' median age was 27.73±4.78 and their ages ranged from 20 to 44. According to this study, there is no significant correlation between mother wellbeing and postpartum (p value is 0.622), however there is one between ethnic groupings and educational attainment (p value is 0.016),(p value 0.001). Joint delivery arrangements have a strong correlation with postpartum depression prevalence at UOR, with a P value of 0.02 (0.266, 0.893%). There is also a significant association between anxious to be able to cope with the baby at p value 0 (0.128, 0.465%) and the prevalence of postpartum depression. This study found that the risk factors for postpartum depression were experienced by more than half of the respondents 83%. Since postpartum depression is frequently ignored and underdiagnosed, postnatal care should place equal emphasis on both physical and emotional health. Investments in successful prevention, diagnosis, and treatment initiatives are needed to identify nursing mothers who require assistance in order to protect the health of both mother and child.
