Postpartum depression and associated factors among childbearing women from the recent Demographic and Health Survey data of Mozambique: Multilevel analysis
Nearly three women out of ten women who give birth develop postpartum depression. Low education status, widowed/divorced, and no occupation were the associated factors with postpartum depression. Therefore, enhancing education, creating job opportunities, and keeping married will reduce the burden of postpartum depression. This study indicates maternal depression post-delivery should be given attention by the National Health Office and other police makers. Educational level should be improved to have a continuous and sharp change in maternal depression after delivery.
