چکیده:
The aim of the present research is to compare postpartum depression in working and homemaker women and its relationship with social support and marital adjustment. To this end, a sample of 300 people was selected using a multi-stage cluster random sampling method from women visiting the Tabriz Women-Obstetrics centers (who were 6 to 12 weeks postpartum), and the Beck Depression Inventory, Spanier Marital Adjustment Scale, and Phillips Social Support Scale questionnaires were completed by them. Data were analyzed using Pearson correlation coefficient, stepwise regression, and independent two-group t-test. The findings indicate a 28 percent prevalence of postpartum depression and higher average depression scores in homemaker women. Additionally, the findings showed that approximately 52 percent of the variance in postpartum depression is explained by marital adjustment and social support.
