The survey comprised demographic characteristics, pregnancy and childbirth characteristics, depression (via the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale; EPDS), and sleep quality (via the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index; PSQI).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Nearly two-thirds of respondents (62.3%) had PPD, while 92.2% experienced poor sleep quality. Both scales demonstrated a statistically significant positive correlation. Participants with previous PPD, peripartum depression, a personal or family history of other depression, those bottle-feeding their infants, or who had a change in sleep pattern scored significantly higher on the EPDS and had poorer PSQI scores. Respondents with a history of mental illness, pregnancy or delivery complications, those who lacked support, or gave birth to unhealthy newborns also had significantly higher EPDS scores.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>PPD and poor sleep quality were highly prevalent among mothers living in the Qassim region of Saudi Arabia. Not surprisingly, PPD was strongly correlated with poor sleep quality. Postpartum counseling for mothers during the first year after delivery is necessary to decrease the risk of developing depressive symptoms and poor sleep quality. Screening for sleep-related difficulties and depression in prenatal and postnatal programs may help prevent the development of depressive disorder among postpartum women in this region of Saudi Arabia (or other areas of the Middle East).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/00912174231202932","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,9,28]],"date-time":"2023-09-28T05:06:09Z","timestamp":1695877569000},"page":"325-340","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Predictors of postpartum depression and its association with sleep quality among mothers in Qassim, Saudi Arabia: A descriptive cross-sectional study"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"59","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2266-0715","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sumayah A","family":"Aljhani","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychiatry, College of Medicine, Qassim University, Qassim, Saudi Arabia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0001-9101-1260","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Razan A","family":"Almeshal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Medical intern, College of Medicine, Qassim University, Qassim, Saudi Arabia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Emtenan A","family":"Almeshal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Medical intern, College of Medicine, Qassim University, Qassim, Saudi Arabia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alhanuf M","family":"Alofea","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Medical intern, College of Medicine, Qassim University, Qassim, Saudi Arabia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0001-7319-3240","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Adim S","family":"Alenizi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Medical intern, College of Medicine, Qassim University, Qassim, Saudi Arabia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,9,28]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-00912174231202932","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(18)32279-7"},{"key":"bibr2-00912174231202932","unstructured":"US Department of Health and Human Services, National Institute of Mental Health.
