Research Abstract

The aim of research was to investigate Impact of postnatal depression on maternal immunoactivity and physical vulnerability in infant. The subjects were high risk pregnant women with psychiatric past history or those who have psychosocial vulnerability such as severe life events or luck of support.
The two self report questionnaires which are Japanese version Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale(EPDS,(Okano et al., 1996)) and The Bonding Scale toward Baby(Yoshida et al., 2003) were administered to the women at 1,4,7 postnatal months. As for the infant growth and development, birth weight, apgar scores, body weight at 1 month, and outcome of Denver developmental score and physical problems.
Out of 43 women who completed their study until 7 postnatal women, 20 mothers scored 9 or more in the EPDS(depressed group). Both the EPDS and the Bonding scale scored the highest at 1 month postnatally, and the score was 14 and 7.9 respectively. Depressed mothers towards their babies were more significantly negative than non-depressed mothers except for 7 month. Infant growth was better in the group of the non-depressed mothers without no significance, and all infants except for one in the depressed group showed normal development at 7 months old. Even though maternal depression did not show any statistical difference in infant growth and development. Further study on qualitative investigation of mother- infant relationship and longer follow up of infants are needed to complete this study.
