HUBUNGAN KELELAHAN DENGAN TINGKAT DEPRESI POSTPARTUM PADA IBU NIFAS

Abstract

Postpartum depression is a psychological condition often experienced by mothers after childbirth, characterized by feelings of sadness, anxiety, and fatigue. This condition is closely related to physical and mental exhaustion during the postpartum period. To determine the relationship between fatigue and the level of postpartum depression in postnatal mothers at the Pekauman Health Center, Banjarmasin. This study used a quantitative descriptive design with a cross-sectional approach. The population included 56 postpartum mothers, and 30 were selected using quota sampling. Data were collected using the Postpartum Fatigue Scale (PFS) and the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS), then analyzed using the Chi-Square test. Most respondents were 20–35 years old (87.9%), unemployed (63.6%), had secondary education (50.0%), and were multiparous (63.3%). The majority experienced moderate fatigue (63.3%) and were at risk for postpartum depression (63.6%). Chi-Square test results showed a significant relationship between fatigue and postpartum depression levels (p = 0.000 < 0.05). There is a significant relationship between the level of fatigue and postpartum depression. The higher the level of maternal fatigue, the greater the likelihood of postpartum depression.
