BARRIERS TO THE ASSESSMENT AND TREATMENT OF POSTNATAL DEPRESSION AMONG WOMEN. REVIEW
Introduction. Postpartum depression (here in after PDD) is an important public health problem. According to WHO reports, this nosology has about 10-15% of the prevalence worldwide. Any woman in the postpartum period is susceptible to PDD. This nosology does not look at culture, country and nationality. Purpose of the work: to identify barriers to assessment and treatment of postpartum depression among women based on international experience. Search strategy: literature search was carried out manually using the keywords postpartum depression, postnatal depression, puerperal depression, predictors AND risk factors, help-seeking barriers, maternal treatment preference in the PubMed, Web of science, CyberLeninka databases, "E-library", using the specialized search engine "Google Scholar". The depth of research is 10 years. Only those literatures that considered barriers to the assessment and treatment of postpartum depression were reviewed. Results: Based on the results of the review, three main categories of barriers were identified: individual, organizational and socio-cultural. Individual barriers to women in childbirth constitute the main percentage of all barriers. There are 3 main components of individual barriers: lack of information, stigma and fear for the child's life. Conclusions: The acceptability of treatment approaches for postpartum depression and maternal preference should be the main indicators for the treatment of PDD. Every woman needs to be provided with high quality and culturally sensitive information about the symptoms of PDD to highlight the differences between perceived normal changes in pregnancy and symptoms of PDD. Similar information should also be provided to family members of the woman, and in particular to medical workers and students in medical institutions. Such resources should be available in multiple languages and culturally appropriate.
