Outline of Final Research Achievements

The aims of this study were to examine the prevalence and relevant factors associated with paternal postnatal depression at four months postpartum. We distributed 2032 self-report questionnaires to couples (one mother and one father) with a 4-month old infant. Data from 807 couples (39.7%) were analyzed.One hundred and ten fathers (13.6%) were depressed. According to the logistic regression analysis, paternal depression was positively associated with partner’s depression and negatively with marital relationship satisfaction. We interviewed six couples with 4-6-month-old infant. As a result, mother felt that a change of the life was bigger than father. As for the couple relations, it was revealed that degree of the interest of father in partner and child might influence it not quantity of housework and the child care of father.
