Abstract

Postpartum depresyonu anneler kadar babalar için de önemli bir sorundur. Babalarda görülen postpartum depresyonunun hem babaların hem de eş ve çocuklarının iyilik hali üzerinde olumsuz yansımaları olabilmektedir. Bu nedenle postpartum depresyonu olan babaların ruh sağlığı hizmetlerine erişimleri önemlidir. Ancak babalar erkeklik normları, depresif belirtilerin algılanması ve tanınması, postpartum depresyonuyla ilgili bilgi ve inançlar, damgalanma endişeleri, postpartum depresyonuna yönelik taramalar, perinatal sağlık hizmetleri ve çalışma yaşamı gibi faktörler sebebiyle yardım arama davranışında bulun(a)mamaktadır. Bu kapsamda babalarda postpartum depresyonu ile ilgili farkındalık oluşturulması ve postpartum depresyonu olan babaların hizmetlere erişimlerini kolaylaştıracak mekanizmaların oluşturulması gerekmektedir.

Abstract

Postpartum depression is an important problem for fathers as well as mothers. Postpartum depression in fathers can have negative repercussions on the well-being of both fathers and their spouses and children. Therefore, it is important for fathers with postpartum depression to access mental health services. However, fathers do not seek help due to factors such as masculinity norms, perception and recognition of depressive symptoms, knowledge and beliefs about postpartum depression, stigma concerns, screening for postpartum depression, perinatal health services and working life. In this context, it is necessary to raise awareness about postpartum depression among fathers and to create mechanisms to facilitate access to services for fathers with postpartum depression.
