Objectives : Many women associate one or more of their pregnancies with the development of adult obesity. This study was designed to determine influencing factors on postpartum weight retention and whether the breast-feeding was available to weight loss in puerperium. Methods : Articles from the literature on 'postpartum weight retention' were examined. Results : These articles show that different factors were related with postpartum weight retention. This study suggests that moderate weight gain during pregnancy is important to prevent postpartum maternal obesity. Especially weight gain from 20 weeks to 36 weeks of pregnancy is important. Falling in depression and anxiety during postpartum period should be avoided and social support is also needed. Delivery at the financially secure status is also recommended. Sufficient physical activity and exercise are needed to prevent from postpartum weight retention. Weight loss with dieting and exercise during lactation don't have a bad influence on the growth of infants.

연구목적 : 산후우울증은 여러 요인이 관여하여 발생하며, 이들 위험요인에는 다양한 심리사회적 요인이 포함된다. 이전의 여러 연구결과들을 통해 산후우울증의 위험요인이 알려지고 있지만 아직까지 국내에서 산후우울증을 대상으로 위험요인을 연구한 경우는 별로 없다. 본 연구는 국내에서 산후우울증의 심리사회적 위험요인으로는 어떤 것이 있는지를 알아보기 위하여 시행되었다. 방법 : 일신기독병원을 방문한 출산 후 약 6~8주에 있는 산모 119명을 대상으로 하였다. 설문지를 이용하여 산후우울증의 위험요인에 대하여 조사하고 산후우울의 정도를 측정하였다. 설문지는 이전 연구들을 통해 알려진 위험요인들을 참고하고 산모들의 스트레스와 관계되는 요인들을 추가하여 작성하였다. 산후 우울증을 평가하기 위해 EPDS(Edinburgh postnatal depression scale)를 번안해서 사용하였고, 산후우울의 정도는 측정된 EPDS 접수에 따라 판단하였다. 결과 : 총 대상 산모 119명 중 EPDS에 의해 산후우울증으로 진단될 수 있는 고위험군은 16명으로, 13.45%의 빈도를 보였다. 고위험군에서는 과거 우울증상을 경험한 경우와 결혼생활에 대한 만족도가 낮은 경우가 저위험군에 비해 유의하게 많았다, 또 과거 우울증상을 경험하였던 군, 임신중 우울과 불안증상을 경험한 군, 임신 및 산욕기동안 스트레스 생활사를 경험하였다고 보고한 군, 결혼생활에 대한 만족도가 낮은 군, 그리고 나이가 많을수록 EPDS 접수가 유의하게 높았다. 반면, 산모의 교육수준, 종교, 직업의 유무, 임신과 출산에 따른 직업중단 희망임신 여부 분만방법 수유방법, 유아의 입원여부, 그리고 기대했던 유아의 성별 및 실제 유아의 성별은 우울증상에 영향을 미치지 않았다. 결론 : 이상의 결과로 볼 때 산후우울증은 산후에 비교적 높은 빈도로 발생 가능하며, 우울증의 과거력, 임신동안 우울과 불안증상의 경험, 스트레스 생활사, 결혼생활에 대한 낮은 만족도, 그리고 산모의 연령과 같은 요소들이 산후우울증의 위험요인이었다. 임신과 산욕기 동안 산모에 대하여 적절히 정신의학적으로 개입함으로서 조기에 산후우울증을 발견하고 치료할 수 있으며, 산후우울증으로 인하여 산모와 유아에게 미치는 다양한 손실을 예방할 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.

연구목적 산후우울증은 일반적으로 산모의 10~15%에서 발병하는 질환으로 그 원인으로는 정신사회적인 요인과 산과적인 요인이 모두 관계 있다고 알려져 있다. 감염, 손상, 악성종양, 자가면역질환, 스트레스에 의해 면역체계가 자극되면 proinflammatory cytokine과 anti-inflammatory cytokine이 생성되고 분비된다고 알려져 있다. 본 연구에서는 산후우울증이 있는 경우 산후우울증이 없는 군에 비해 혈중 Transforming growth factor-β1(TGF-β1), Insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1), β-Nerve growth factor (β-NGF), Interleukin-2 (IL-2), IL-4, IL-6, Tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), Interferon-γ (IFN-γ)의 농도가 상승되어 있을 것이라 가정하고, 임산부에서의 우울증의 경과에 따라 cytokine의 농도의 변화를 알아보고자 한다. 방 법 본 연구는 총 104 명의 임산부와 60명의 임신을 하지 않은 정상 대조군을 대상으로 하였다. 우울 증상은 임신 24주, 출산 1주, 출산 6주에 에딘버러 산후 우울 척도(EPDS)를 사용하여 평가하였다. EPDS의 총 점수가 10 이상인 경우, 우울증상이 있는 것으로 판단하였으며 EPDS 점수 변화에 따라 임산부 정상대조군, 출산 후 우울-회복군, 출산 후 우울군 세 그룹으로 나누었다. 결 과 임신군과 비임신 정상대조군을 비교하였을 때 TGF-β1, IGF-1의 혈장 농도는 임신군에서 비임신 정상대조군보다 더 높았다(TGF-β1 ; p<0.01, IGF-1 ; p=0.026). 그러나 β-NGF, IL-2, IL-4, IL-6, IFN-γ, TNF-α는 비임신 여성대조군에 비해 임산부 정상대조군에서 그 농도가 낮게 측정되었다(β-NGF ; p=0.001, IL-2 ; p<0.01, IL-4 ; p<0.01, IL-6 ; p<0.01, IFN-γ ; p<0.01, TNF-α ; p<0.01) 임신 24주에 TGF-β1, IGF-1, β-NGF, IL-2, IL-4, IL-6, IFN-γ, TNF-α의 농도를 살펴보면 임산부 정상대조군, 출산 후 우울-회복군, 출산 후 우울군 세 군간에 유의한 차이가 없었으며 출산 6주에도 역시 유의한 차이가 관찰되지 않았다. 또한 임신 24주, 출산 6주에 시간에 따른 농도 차이를 비교해 보았을 때 세 군에서 모두 그 통계적으로 유의한 차이는 없었다. 결 론 본 연구는 비임신 정상대조군과 임신군간의 혈장 cytokine 농도에서 유의한 차이를 발견했으나 산후우울증군과 정상 임신대조군간의 혈장 cytokine 농도는 유의한 차이를 밝혀내지는 못했다.

Purpose: This study was designed to identify mother and infant related factors that influence child-care stress among the mother of newborn infants. Methods: Data were collected through self-administered questionnaires and descriptive statistics, correlation and multiple regression were used to analyze the data. The data survey was conducted with 957 conveniently selected mothers of infants when they visited a public health center in Seoul to have their children immunized. Results: The average item score for the Childcare Stress Inventory was 38.03, for the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale, 9.31 and for the Degree of Bother Inventory, 23.42. The CSI was positively correlated to EPDS (r=.44, p<.001) and DBI (r=.40, p<.001). Also these two variables explained 30.0% of CSI in infants' mothers. Conclusion: These findings are expected to expand the understanding about postpartum mothers' child-care stress and can contribute to the development of comprehensive interventions based on community health nursing.

Objectives: This study was performed to analyze the interventions of Oriental Medicine which had been commonly used for postpartum disease and postpartum care. Methods: We searched research on the interventions for postpartum disease and postpartum care in 4 domestic search engines. After that, we conducted eligibility screening based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. Results: 1. We selected total 50 studies. There were 2 randomized controlled trial (RCT), 5 non-RCT, 35 case reports, 8 case series within the 6~8 weeks after childbirth. 2. Of the 35 case reports, several interventions were used : acupuncture (22), moxibustion (11), cupping therapy (7), pharmacopuncture (5), chuna manipulation (4), herbal medicine (34). The most common symptoms were musculoskeletal symptoms (8), followed by postpartum depression (7). Various prescriptions and acupoints of oriental medicine were used depending on the diseases or symptoms. 3. Of the 8 case series, 382 subjects in 5 case series had taken Saenghwa-tang-gagam. And Acupuncture, moxibustion, cupping therapy (5), pharmacopuncture (1) were used as an intervention. 4. The most commonly used acupoint is 腎兪 (BL23) in the pain including postpartum back pain and 三陰交 (SP6), 關元 (CV4) in the postpartum care. 關元 (CV4) is the most commomly used moxibustion point not only the postpartum disease but also the postpartum care. Conclusions: In clinical studies of oriental medicine related to postpartum disease and postpartum care, pain-related clinical studies that belong to or progress to Sanhupung were the most common (30%), and among them, postpartum low back pain studies were the most common (20%). Based on this, we believe that large-scale clinical studies with high quality using oriental interventions including chuna and pharmacopuncture are needed to establish guidelines for the management of pain treatment including postpartum back pain.

Purpose: This study was to examine the effect of postpartum exercise on mental health. Mental health comprises a 9 symptom dimension of Somatization, Obsessive-Compulsive, Interpersonal Sensitivity, Depression, Anxiety, Hostility, Phobic anxiety, Paranoid Ideation, and Psychoticism. Method: A non-equivalent pre-test, post-test control group study was conducted. Fifty-two puerperal women who were admitted to a postpartum ward of a mother-baby clinic in Pusan were recruited; 26 women were assigned to the experimental group and 26 women to the control group. Postpartum exercise was applied to the experimental group from postpartum day 3 for a period of 8 weeks while no exercise program was applied to the control group. Mental health with SCL-90-R was measured before and after exercise. Data was analyzed using mean, $x^2$-test, t-test, and ANOVA by SPSS 10.0. Result: The mental health status in the exercise group did not show a statistically significant decrease when compared to that of the control group. Conclusion: There is no effect of postpartum exercise on women's mental health during the first 8 weeks of the postpartum period. Further studies are needed for randomized clinical trials with a larger sample size.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to compare maternal perceptions between two groups of postpartum women, women who chose to have their babies room-in and women who did not (non rooming-in group). Methods: Data collection was conducted in 37 hospitals from August 10 to September 20, 2008. The participants were 209 mothers opting for rooming-in and 128 mothers for non rooming-in. The women completed a questionnaire which included the Edinburgh postpartum depression scale, maternal attachment inventory, and postpartum self-evaluation questionnaire. Results: There were significant differences in education level, income and antenatal education between the rooming-in and non rooming-in groups. The rooming-in group also showed higher levels of satisfaction with medical services. More important, the rate of breast feeding for the rooming-in group was higher than for the non rooming-in group. There was no difference between the two groups for postpartum depression, maternal attachment and mothers' confidence with infant care tasks. Conclusion: These findings suggest that rooming-in system has more advantages compared to non rooming-in and that it can help to promote breast feeding. The authors recommend that the rooming-in system be expanded nationwide. The results of this research can be used to assist the development of future rooming-in system expansion strategy.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to compare levels of postpartum fatigue, depression, childcare stress, and maternal identity according to postpartum period between primiparas who used Sanhujori facilities and those who did not. Methods: The research design was a longitudinal descriptive study using self-report questionnaires. Participants were 55 healthy primiparas who delivered at one of 3 hospitals in Chungnam, 21 using Sanhujori facilities and 34 not using these facilities during the first three weeks after childbirth. Data were collected from October 2008 to April 2009 at three measurement points, 2-4 days after childbirth (T1), 4-6 weeks (T2), and 12-14 weeks (T3). Data were analyzed using the SPSS 17.0 WIN program. Results: There was a significant difference in childcare stress between the two groups at 4-6 weeks after childbirth. Postpartum depression and childcare stress at 4-6 weeks were significantly higher than those of the other postpartum periods, while maternal identity was significantly lower. Conclusion: Child care stress is the most important issue among women who use Sanhujori facilities and the 4-6 week period after childbirth is very difficult to primiparas. These results indicate that nursing interventions for primiparas in Sanhujori facilities should focus on reducing childcare stress. Furthermore proper follow-up programs at 4-6 weeks are needed to decrease the difficulties in adjustment by new mothers.

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the maternal health effects of internet-based education interventions on parturients during the postpartum period through a systematic review of randomized controlled trials. Methods: An electronic literature search of the Cochrane Library, CINAHL, EMBASE, Eric, PsycINFO, PubMed, RISS, and KISS databases was performed, using the combination of keywords such as 'parenthood education', '*natal education', '*birth intervention', 'internet-based intervention', 'randomized controlled trial'. The inclusion criteria were peer-reviewed papers in English regarding randomized controlled trials of internet-based postnatal education interventions. Educational interventions were delivered through any web, mobile, eHealth, mHealth, virtual reality, short message service, or social networking service platform. Quality appraisal was performed using the Risk of Bias 2 (RoB 2) for randomized controlled trials. Nine articles were yielded, and the intervention effects were analyzed. Results: Internet-based education interventions during the postpartum period affect maternal self-efficacy, postpartum depression, and successive breastfeeding; however, they do not affect maternal satisfaction and parenting confidence. Conclusion: This study demonstrated that internet-based education interventions affect maternal health status in terms of psychological, emotional, and physical wellness. Therefore, maternal health care professionals can utilize remote education using the internet or mobile-based interventions during the postpartum period.
