Study of the Interrelation Between Labor Pains and Puerperal Depression State
Objective To explore the interrelation between labor pains and puerperal depression state.Methods 121 parturient accepting epidural block anesthesia of labor in the second people's hospital of Guangdong province from August,2005 to November,2005 were chosen as the experimental group,97 parturient not accepting any anesthesia of labor in other three hospitals at the same time as the control group.Monitored the numerical value of E2,P and PRL at the end of the third stage of labor and the postpartum seventh day.Made EPDS scores in the postpartum third day and postpartum seventh day.Results At the end of third stage of labor,there were significant difference in the level of E2 and P(P0.05～0.01) between the two groups;there was no significant difference in the level of PRL(P0.05);there were significant difference in the level of E2,P and PRL in the postpartum seventh day(P0.05～0.001).In the experimental group,at the end of the third stage of labor and the postpartum seventh day,there were significant differences in the levels of E2 and P(P0.00) between the two groups;while there was no significant difference in the level of PRL(P0.05).Scores of EPDS and the incidence of puerperal depression state in the experimental group were significantly lower than those in the control group(P0.02～0.05).Conclusion Labor pains result in puerperal depression state that was a unity of organism,psychology and the basis of sociology.Anesthesia of labor is one of the important ways to decrease the incidence of puerperal depression state.
