รายละเอียด / Details:

Although postpartum mood disorders are relatively common, depressive symptoms that emerge during the postpartum period are frequently overlooked by patients and their caregivers. Postpartum depression places both the mother and infant at risk and has been associated with significant long term effects in child development and behavior therefore, prompt recognition and treatment of puerperal disorders are essential. The present study was aimed at developing and verifying properties of the Thai version Edinburgh Postnatal Depression scale. The Edinburgh Postnatal Depression scale EPDS was translated into Thai and administered to 150 women who were 4-6 weeks postpartum attending the postpartum unit in Songklanagarind hospital. Clinical psychiatric interview was used as a gold standard. The result showed that the degree of agreement between Thai version Edinburgh Postnatal Depression scal and clinical psychiatric interview were 0.42. The sensitivity and specificity were 66.67% and 93.75%. After adjust cut of point of Thai version Edinburgh Depression scale the sensitivity and specificity were increase to 100% and 88%. The Thai version of Edinburgh Postnatal Depression scale after adjust cut of point is a reliable and valid instrument for screening of postpartum depression and could be a benefit for future studies in a large population.
