Postpartum depression in mothers of babies with infantile colic
2014
Objective: Postpartum depression leads to mother-child relationship
problems, impairment of maternal caregiving and parenting skills in both
mother and child. Infantile colic (IC) is one of the important problems in
early childhood. In this study we investigated the relationship between
postpartum depression and IC.
Method: In our study, mothers of infants younger than 3 months (n=102)
were evaluated with Edinburgh Post Partum Depression Scale (EPDS).
Results: EPDS mean scores of IC (n=55) group were significantly higher
than those without IC (n=47) group (respectively, 12,7±4,8; 8,44±5,62)
