Women's experiences of postpartum depression : A literature study (English)
Abstract [sv]

Bakgrund: Förlossningsdepression är en form av klinisk depression som kan drabba kvinnor efter barnafödandet. Symtom inkluderar ångest och anknytningssvårigheter mellan kvinnan och det nyfödda barnet. Förlossningsdepression screenas med hjälp av självskattningsskalan The Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale i kombination med en klinisk bedömning av symtomen. Behandlingar inkluderar antidepressiva läkemedel och psykologisk behandling. Syfte: Syftet var att beskriva kvinnors upplevelser av förlossningsdepression. Metod: En litteraturöversikt med induktiv ansats genomfördes. Informationssökningen genomfördes i de omvårdnadsbaserade databaserna CINAHL och PubMed. Resultat: I resultat framkom fyra kategorier; Att inte nå upp till det idealiserade moderskapet, utmaningar i samband med rollförändring, ensamhet och isolering och behov av stöd. Resultaten visade att övergången till moderskap upplevs vara utmanande av kvinnor med förlossningsdepression. Kvinnorna upplever även känslor av skuld och skam när de inte lever upp till de sociala normerna som är knutna till att vara en bra mamma. Konklusion: Litteraturstudiens resultat kan bidra till ökad förståelse av kvinnors upplevelser och behov vid förlossningsdepression. Studien konkluderar att utbildning av vårdpersonal avseende förlossningsdepression, dess symtom och hur personal möter och vårdar enskilda kvinnor är av stor vikt.

Abstract [en]

Background: Postpartum depression (PPD) is a form of clinical depression that can affect women after childbirth. Symptoms include anxiety and bonding difficulties between the woman and the baby. PPD is screened by using the The Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale in combination with a clinical assessment of the symptoms. Treatments include antidepressants and psychotherapy. Aim: The aim was to describe women's experiences of PPD. Method: A literature review with an inductive approach was conducted. Information retrieval was conducted in the nursing-based databases CINAHL and PubMed. Results: In the results, four categories emerged; Not reaching the idealized motherhood, challenges associated with role change, loneliness and isolation and need for support. The results showed that the transition to motherhood is perceived as challenging by women with PPD. The women also experience feelings of guilt and shame when they do not live up to the social norms associated with being a good mother. Conclusion: The results of the literature study can contribute to an increased understanding of women's experiences and needs in PPD. The study concludes that teaching health care professionals about PPD, its symptoms and how to meet and care for women is of great importance.
