Social Factors of Postpartum Depression Among Chinese Women: OAJBS Publishers

Social Factors of Postpartum Depression Among Chinese Women by Linyan Li* in Open Access Journal of Biomedical Science (OAJBS)

Objective: This article explores the various social factors contributing to postpartum depression among Chinese women by reviewing the relevant literature. 

Methods: A comprehensive search was conducted by using multiple English and Chinese databases. 

Conclusion: A variety of social factors contribute to the development of postpartum depression among Chinese women. These factors include socio-cultural factors and socio-demographic factors. Chinese socio-cultural factors include son preference, the traditional post-childbirth custom of “doing the month,” and the conflict between postpartum women and their mothers-in-law. Socio-demographic factors include socio-economic factors, education, ethnicity, and social support. Social support, especially family support, is closely associated with postpartum depression. Lack of social support is a high-risk factor for depression; strong social support is a preventive and protective factor for postpartum women. 

Contribution to the Field: This article provides a detailed review of the social factors of postpartum depression among Chinese women. On the one hand, we find that a variety of unique socio-cultural factors are associated with postpartum depression, including son preference, the traditional post-childbirth custom of “doing the month,” and the conflict between postpartum women and their mothers-in-law in Chinese culture. On the other hand, in China, socio-demographic factors, such as income, education, and ethnicity, are also considered risk factors for postpartum depression. Finally, social support, especially family support, is closely associated with postpartum depression. These findings contribute to the identification, prevention, and treatment of postpartum depression among Chinese women. The risk factors of postpartum depression should be considered in health planning and policymaking in Chinese society.

Facile Synthesis of Chitosan Nanoparticle with Different Features and Histopathological Ultrastructural Study on The Effect of Its Bio-complex with Bovine Serum Albumin in Mice Liver by Maged El-Kemary* in Open Access Journal of Biomedical Science (OAJBS)   We have synthesized chitosan nanoparticles (CS-NPs) with different characteristics using ionic gelation method. Results showed that the synthesized CS-NPs with different concentrations of trisodium polyphosphate (TPP) are irregular – spherical shaped with narrow size distribution and high stability. The microporous chitosan was also synthesized with new features characterized with different techniques as SEM, EDX, FTIR and BET. The synthesized microporous chitosan has a surface area and pore volume of 245.571m 2 /g and 0.155cm 3 /g respectively. Its microporous surface is functionalized with carboxyl and amine groups. Histopathological and ultrastructural studies of mice liver were performed using optical and scanning electron m...

Review on Analysis of Breast Tumor with Methods of Treatment by Nagham Mahmood Aljamali* in Open Access Journal of Biomedical Science (OAJBS) Breast malignance is the greatest public in ladies, with a high incidence in North America and Eastern Europe, medium in Southern Europe and the Middle East and low in the Far East. Breast malignance is the second most common malignance in the world after lung malignance, and since it happens a lot, the doctors asked the women to examine themselves by themselves, in order to discover the signs of the disease early before it spreads. It is possible that this disease can be treated after being diagnosed by a specialized doctor and determining the type of tumor in the breast, and the surgeon removes the breast completely and starts chemotherapy about 6 doses, then radiotherapy, how many sessions will be determined by the doctor, and then hormonal therapy, a medicine called Tamoxafin or any medicine determined by the doctor, and it is possible.
