TheÂreÂfore, it is important to do depression screenÂÂÂing and assessment of risk factors for postÂpartum depression in pregnant women and new motÂÂhers. This study aimed to determine the inciÂdence and biopsychosocial risk factors for postÂpartum depression.Subjects and Method: This was a prospective cohort study conducted at Bulu, Kranggan, and Kedu health centers, in Temanggung, Central Java. A sample of 100 pregÂnant women with 32-42 weeks gestation aged was selected for this study. The dependent variable was postÂÂpartum depression (PPD). The indeÂpenÂdent variÂables were marital satisfaction, symptÂoms of premensÂtrual syndrome, social support, geneÂral health status, and parenting self-efficacy/PSE. PPD was measured by the Edinburgh PostÂÂnatal Depression Scale. Parenting self-efficacy (PSE) was measured by the Karitane parenting confidence scale. The data were anaÂlyzÂed by Chi square.Results: 5% of subjects have a severe risk of experiencing PPD. PSE was positively correlated with PPD (OR = 10.29; 95% CI = 1.20 to 88.07; p= 0.008), while marital satisfaction, social supÂport, premenstrual syndrome symptoms and geÂneÂÂral health status were not statistically sigÂniÂficant with PPD incidence.Conclusion: PSE increased the risk of PPD.Keywords: post partum depression, parenting self-efficacyCorrespondence: Monica Kartini.
