Coping Strategies and Help Seeking Behavior among Women with Symptoms Of Postpartum Depression in Selangor

@#Introduction: Most women with postpartum depression (PPD) remain undiagnosed and untreated, despite the adverse effects known to be felt by women and children. The aim of this study was to examine the coping strategies and help seeking behavior used by women having symptoms of postpartum depression. Methods: Using a mixed-method study design, the researcher used the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS), Brief COPE and General Help Seeking Behavior (GHSQ) inventories for the quantitative approach, while the qualitative approach was conducted by a semi-structured interview based on the topics listed. A total of 30 respondents participated in the quantitative study while seven respondents were chosen for the qualitative study. Results: Data analyses identified coping strategies with domains of emotion-focused and religion-focused subscales as the main coping styles, while help seeking behavior identified that families were the main groups of people that were sought by them. Conclusion: Women with symptoms of postpartum depression tended to cope with their mental health issues by strengthening their spiritual bonds and with help and support from their family members.

Depressão em Pais de Crianças com Deficiência Física: uma Revisão da Literatura de 2013 a 2018 / Depression in Parents of Children with Physical Disabilities: A Literature Review from 2013 to 2018 / Depresión en Padres de Niños con Discapacidad Física: Una Revisión de la Literatura de 2013 a 2018

Os primeiros anos do bebê são períodos sensíveis em que a disponibilidade dos pais é necessária para o desenvolvimento infantil. Estudos indicam que a detecção da deficiência física na criança aumenta o risco de depressão parental. Evidenciar suas causas e consequências para os pais e para a qualidade do vínculo que estabelecem com seus filhos é fundamental para fornecer os cuidados necessários a essas famílias. Este artigo revisa e discute a literatura acerca da depressão em pais de crianças com deficiência física nos últimos cinco anos. Os termos "disability", "depression", "parents" e "physical disability" foram utilizados nas bases PsycNET, Scopus, Web of Science, BVS e PEP-Web. Foram selecionadas 20 publicações. Os resultados revelaram que pesquisas quantitativas e transversais predominam, assim como o estudo das variações em relação à gravidade da deficiência. Quando detectada, a depressão foi frequentemente moderada, com aspectos singulares como culpa e remorso mediando sua probabilidade de ocorrência. Poucos estudos exploram como o sofrimento dos pais pode incidir sobre o aumento do grau de incapacitação motora da deficiência. Concluiu-se que o tempo transcorrido após o diagnóstico parece um fator preponderante, mas que agrega outros como reações ao diagnóstico e modos de elaboração. Pesquisas longitudinais futuras são necessárias para essa verificação. (AU)

Baby's early years are sensitive periods when parent's availability is necessary for the children development. Studies indicate that the physical disability detection in a child increases the parent risk for depression. Thus, highlighting its causes and consequences for the parents and for the quality of the bond with their children is fundamental to provide the necessary care for these families. This research reviews and discusses the literature on depression in parents of children with physical disabilities in the last five years. The terms "disability", "depression", "parents" and "physical disability" were used at the PsycNET, Scopus, Web of Science, BVS and PEP-Web. 20 publications were selected. The results revealed that quantitative and cross-sectional studies predominate, as well as the study of variations due to the severity of the disability. When the depression is detected, it is predominantly scored as moderate, and singular aspects, as guilt and remorse, controlling its probability of occurrence. Few studies have shown how parental distress can increase the degree of motor disability. In conclusion, the time elapsed after the disability disclosure seems a remarkable factor, to which other variables are associated, such as the reactions to the diagnosis, and elaboration modes. Further longitudinal research is needed to support it. (AU)

Pocos estudios han demostrado cómo el sufrimiento de los padres puede aumentar la incapacidad motora. En conclusión, el tiempo transcurrido después de lo descubrimiento de la discapacidad parece ser un factor notable, pero puede reunir otros, como las reacciones al diagnóstico y los tipos de elaboración. Se necesita más investigación longitudinal para apoyarlo. (AU)

Effect of Radix Bupleuri Extract on 5-HT3R Pathway in Primarily Cultured Rat Hippocampal Neurons / 世界科学技术-中医药现代化

This study was aimed to investigate the effect of Radix Bupleuri extract (RBE) on 5-HT3R channel currents of primarily cultured hippocampal neurons in depression emotion rats.Depression emotion model ratswere duplicated.RBE was used for drug intervention.And then,the rats were evaluated by the open-field test (OFT) and the sucrose preference test.Serum of rats in each group was collected and then added into the primary cultured hippocampal neurons for 24 h.The 5-HT3R channel currents were recorded by the whole-cell patch clamp.The results showed that compared with the normal group,the total score of OFT in the model group was significantly decreased (P < 0.01); the sucrose preference ratio decreased obviously (P < 0.01); and the current density value of primary cultured hippocampal neurons in serum of the model group was significantly higher (P <0.01).Compared with the model group,the total scores of OFT in the RBE group and fluoxetine group increased significantly (P < 0.05,P < 0.01); the sucrose preference ratio also increased obviously (P < 0.05,P < 0.05); and current density value of the primary cultured hippocampal neurons in serum of the RBE group and fluoxetine group decreased significantly (P < 0.01,P < 0.01).It was concluded that RBE can effectively correct the abnormal 5-HT3R channel currents of rats with depression emotion,which may be one of the central mechanisms in the treatment of depression emotion.

Influence of therapeutic communication system on depression emotion of postoperative tumor patients undergoing chemotherapy / 中国实用护理杂志

Objective To investigate the effect of therapeutic communication system on alleviation of depression emotion of postoperative tumor patients undergoing chemotherapy.Methods 56 cases of cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy after surgery were randomly divided into the observation group and the control group with 28 cases in each group.The observation group was given therapeutic communication system based on routine care,the control group only received routine care.The self-rating depression scale (SDS),automatic thoughts questionnaire (ATQ) and quality of life evaluation questionnaire (QLQ-C30 3.0) were used for evaluation in two groups before and after intervention.Results The depression mood,negative automatic thoughts and quality of life in the observation group were better than the control group,the difference was statistically significant.Conclusions Application of therapeutic communication system on postoperative tumor patients undergoing chemotherapy can alleviate depression,negative automatic thoughts and quality of life significantly.It implies the effectiveness and feasibility of psychological intervention for postoperative tumor patients undergoing chemotherapy,which is worthy of clinical application.
