Data were collected using a survey about demographic and fertility characteristics and the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale. Then, 77 participants were examined by an experienced psychiatrist via a diagnostic interview based on The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition. A receiver operating characteristic curve was used to determine the optimal cut\u2010off point of the questionnaire to identify those at risk for paternal postnatal depression.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>In this study of Iranian fathers, a score greater than 7 was identified as the optimal Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale cut\u2010off for detecting paternal postnatal depression with established sensitivity and specificity. This cut\u2010off determined the frequency of paternal postnatal depression. A significant relationship was found between the groups from the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale and factors such as life satisfaction, satisfaction with sex life, the gender of the child, pregnancy complications, the gender of previous children and history of abortion.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n
