    Women experiencing abnormal childbirth, even when using the Lamaze method, show significantly higher rates of depressive syndrome compared to those with normal deliveries. This highlights the need for better psychological preparation for potential birth complications.

    Area of Science:

    • Obstetrics and Gynecology
    • Perinatal Mental Health
    • Psychosomatic Medicine

    Background:

    • The Lamaze method is a widely used childbirth preparation technique.
    • Postpartum depression is a significant concern affecting maternal well-being.
    • The impact of delivery type on maternal mental health, specifically depressive syndrome, warrants further investigation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the correlation between childbirth outcomes (normal vs. abnormal delivery) and the prevalence of depressive syndrome.
    • To assess the psychological impact of abnormal deliveries on mothers trained in the Lamaze method.

    Main Methods:

    • A retrospective study design was employed, selecting 50 patients with normal deliveries (Group A) and 50 with abnormal deliveries (Group B) between 1972-1982.

  • All participants had utilized the Lamaze method for childbirth preparation.
  • A questionnaire was administered to assess the presence of depressive syndrome in both groups.

    • Main Results:

    • A significantly higher incidence of depressive syndrome was observed in the abnormal delivery group (Group B) compared to the normal delivery group (Group A).
    • Specifically, 80% of patients in Group B and 10% in Group A exhibited depressive syndrome.
    • Statistical analysis (Chi-square, P, and Z tests) confirmed the significance of these findings.

    Conclusions:

    • Abnormal childbirth experiences are strongly associated with a higher risk of developing depressive syndrome, even among women trained in childbirth preparation techniques like Lamaze.
    • Healthcare providers must proactively prepare patients undergoing Lamaze training for the potential psychological impact of abnormal delivery outcomes.
    • Enhanced psychological support and screening are crucial for mothers experiencing complicated births.
