Postpartum depression, commonly known as peripartum depression, is one of the most common mental illnesses that can occur during pregnancy and the postpartum period. Untreated postpartum depression often leads to significant short-term and long-term consequences. One vulnerable group who is at risk and more predisposed to postpartum depression are Hispanic immigrant women. A descriptive correlational study was designed to investigate the relationship between acculturation and postpartum among Hispanic women from South America at three different time intervals: 28 to 36 weeks of pregnancy, four weeks after delivery, and three months postpartum. The Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale and the Abbreviated Multidimensional Acculturation Scale was selected to measure the variables. Three potential funding sources were identified with the final grant selected, NIH's PAR-21-080 titled, "Addressing the Etiology of Health Disparities and Health Advantages Among Immigrant Population." A detailed budget is outlined for funding of the study. Three peer reviewed journals and a national conference were identified and described to disseminate the findings of the proposed study once completed.

Perinatal Depression among Spanish-Speaking and Latin American Women A Global Perspective on Detection and Treatment Sandraluz Lara-Cinisomo and Katherine Leah Wisner, editors As more is known about postpartum depression, the more it is recognized as a global phenomenon. Yet despite the large numbers, information about this condition as experienced by Spanish speaking women and Latinas has not always been easy to come by. Perinatal Depression among Spanish-Speaking and Latin American Women focuses on four diverse Latina populations (Mexico, Chile, Spain, and U.S.) to analyze key similarities and differences within this large and wide-ranging group. This first-of-its-kind reference reviews current research on the topic, including prevalence, screening methods, interventions, and--of particular salience for this population--barriers to care. Findings on psychoeducation, assessment tools, and cognitive-behavioral and other forms of therapy provide important insights into best practices, and continuity of care. And psychosocial, cultural, and linguistic considerations in working with Latinas are described in depth for added clinical usefulness. This landmark volume: Outlines characteristics of Spanish-speaking women and Latinas screened for postpartum depression Introduces the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale, English and Spanish versions, and reviews their use with Latina women Compares postpartum depression and health behaviors in Spanish and Latina immigrant mothers Offers streamlined assessment-to-intervention models Provides two in-depth case studies illustrating cultural factors influencing the treatment of Latinas with perinatal depression. Presents an instructive firsthand account of postpartum depression. Between its thorough coverage of the issues and its innovative clinical ideas, Perinatal Depression among Spanish-Speaking and Latin American Women has a wealth of information of interest to researchers and practitioners in maternal and child health, obstetrics/gynecology, mental health, and women’s health.

There are four acculturation strategies: (a) integration, a strong identification and deep involvement with the host society with the desire to maintain the original ethnic identity and culture; (b) assimilation, a positive relation with the host society and relinquish of all ties to their own culture; (c) separation, the tendency to focus exclusively on maintaining individual's own cultural values and the practices of their ethnic group, with little or no desire to be a part of the host society; and (d) marginalization, the loss or absence of contact with both the culture of origin and that of the dominant society. Method: Using a cross-sectional correlational descriptive design, a sample of 115 U.S. immigrant women of Arabic descent were enrolled from clinics in Dearborn, MI. Participants completed a demographic questionnaire, the Multi-dimensional Acculturative Stress Inventory, the Acculturation Rating Scale for Arabic Americans-II, the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support, and the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale between 1-12 months postpartum. Data were analyzed using correlational and multiple linear regression analyses. Results: Women had a mean age of 29±5 years and were 5±4 months postpartum. Women have been in the U.S. for 7±6 years and had a mean education of 12±4 years. The majority of women had an annual household income of less than $40,000 (88%), were unemployed (80%), and preferred Arabic language for interview (68%). Specific Aim 1: Higher levels of acculturative stress (p= .003) and lower levels of social support (p

One of the largely undetected and untreated health conditions affecting the Latino population in the United States is depression. Although the onset of depression can be influenced by a variety of factors that differ among individuals, Latinos in the United States are subject to certain cultural-specific social and environmental stresses that may increase their risk. As Latinos become more acculturated into the American mainstream, they may be less likely to experience these stressors. Latina women have been found to have considerably higher rates of depression symptoms than their male counterparts; traditional values of the culture may be creating a sociocultural backdrop of gender inequality that could serve as a precursor to mental disorders. There is a gap in the research in relation to how depression rates in Latinas may be affected by the process of acculturation in the context of gender-based roles and power. This study is an exploration of how acculturation and relationship power affect the presence or absence of depression symptoms in Mexican immigrant women. A sample of 35 women from Benton County, Oregon, was interviewed using a questionnaire comprised of the revised Center for Epidemiologic Studies depression scale (CESD-R), the Short Acculturation Scale for Hispanics (SASH) and the Sexual Relationship Power Scale (SRPS). The purpose of the survey was to generate hypotheses for further research into factors that need to be taken into consideration when designing mental health programs for Latinos in the United States. Forty percent (40%) of the women in this study were classified as having depression symptoms according to their CESD-R scores, and a majority of the women were classified a having a low acculturation level. Also, the results indicate that most of the women in this study had medium to high levels of relationship power. The analysis did not yield a strong association between depression and acculturation scores or between depression and relationship power scores. There was a strong correlation found between acculturation and relationship power. It is hoped that this study will call attention to the mental health needs of Hispanic women and that the information gathered will aid in creating successful and culturally-relevant prevention and treatment services.

Pregnancy and postpartum are critical periods for child and family development and portend risk for maternal mental health disturbances, with potential for long-term effects of maternal adjustment on child development. Although the predictors and sequelae of maternal postpartum depression and anxiety are often the subject of inquiry, much remains to be learned about the role of the social environment and ethnicity/culture. The current research addresses gaps in our understanding of perinatal partner and family relationship functioning and the influence of these close relationships on postpartum mental health. Additionally, it explores how these associations might differ for Latina and non-Hispanic White women, in light of differences in socio-demographic background, such as income, education, immigration, and acculturation. Study 1 presents data from a multi-site, community-based participatory research project that describe the postpartum partner and family relationship functioning of 308 Latina and 190 non-Hispanic White women and compare associations between relationship functioning and postpartum mental health (depressive symptoms, posttraumatic stress symptoms, and generalized anxiety) across groups. Study 1 also presents multivariate models of socio-demographic variables, acculturation, and partner and family relationships predicting maternal postpartum mental health. Study 2 draws from a longitudinal sample of 81 Latina and 63 non-Hispanic White to examine the ways in which longitudinal changes in partner relationship quality from pregnancy to postpartum are associated with maternal depression in both ethnic groups. Findings underscore the robust influence of partner and family relationship functioning on maternal postpartum mental health across widely varying levels of socio-demographic background and point to surprising similarity in patterns of association for Latinas and non-Hispanic White women. Variables such as parity, marital status, income, and age repeatedly accounted for more between-group differences in relationship functioning and maternal mental health than did ethnicity. This research adds to our understanding of the psychosocial contributors to postpartum mental health in Latina women and suggests that efforts to reduce strain and improve the quality of partner and family relationships before and after pregnancy could have beneficial influence on postpartum depression and anxiety for both Latinas and NH-Whites.

Discussion: This study identified social support and postpartum physical problems as correlates of postpartum depression symptoms in a sample of immigrant Asian Indian women in the US. Health care practitioners need to screen for social support and physical problems in immigrant Asian Indian mothers during the postpartum period. Future studies are needed to design culturally-appropriate and evidenced-based interventions that prevent postpartum depression symptoms by addressing social support needs and postpartum physical health problems in immigrant Asian Indian women in the US.

Postpartum depression (PPD) nearly doubles among immigrants. When we consider that Latinas are densely represented in the United States, the need to explore the risk and protective factors that may be associated with PPD onset among Latinas is critical. A consideration of racial discrimination, social support, and breastfeeding practices may aid in incorporating contributors that may be prevalent among Latinas. In particular, breastfeeding practices have differed by acculturation, yet there are inconclusive relations with depressive symptoms, therefore, examining the relationship with predictors may shed light on the intersection among individual, cultural, and societal factors by acculturation among Latinas. This dissertation examined the intersection of risk and protective factors with PPD and breastfeeding practices in three separate papers, with the inclusion of intersectionality and the convoy model of social networks. The first paper examined PPD risk through an intersectional lens that included the individual, cultural, and macro level contexts. The second paper, a quantitative secondary analysis using the NYC PRAMS dataset, explored the relationship between PPD, racial discrimination, and social support. Lastly, the third paper, a quantitative secondary analysis of the NYC PRAMS dataset, examined the relationship between risk and protective factors with PPD and breastfeeding practices. Outcomes for the studies reveal differences and an overlap between the risk and protective factors and their association with PPD and breastfeeding practices when considering acculturation among Latinas. The papers incorporated cultural and societal factors that are paramount within this population. Recommendations for research, practice, and policy were addressed in each of the papers.
