Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of husbands' help on postpartum depression and self-efficacy of mothers, to investigate what to fix of research design and to examine the feasibility of following experimental study. There was no significant difference in the general characteristics of two groups, which consisted 10 pairs of postpartum mothers and husbands, respectively, confirming the homogeneity of between groups. The prevalence of postpartum depression was 45% in the subjects who were measured at 1 week postpartum, and the average performance of the husbands' help in the experimental group was 3.2 out of 4 points. In the Mann-Whitney U Test, the husbands' help lowered the mean rank of postpartum depression in the experimental group(p<.001), and the mean rank of self-efficacy was higher than the control group, but there was no significant difference. In the process of this study, it was confirmed that, on the side of postpartum mothers of control group had burdens of responding to the questionnaire without the benefit of treatment so it is necessary to revise the design of following experimental study.

본 연구의 목적은 남편의 도움이 산모의 산후우울과 자기효능감에 미치는 영향을 확인하고, 연구설계의 문제점을 파악하여 추후 시행될 실험연구의 실행 가능성을 알아보기 위함이다. 실험처치 전 각각 10쌍의 산후산모와 남편으로 구성된 실험군과 대조군의 일반적 특성에 유의한 차이가 없어 두 군의 동질성을 확인하였다. 산후 1주에 측정된 연구대상자의 산후우울 유병률은 45%였고, 실험군 산모에 대한 남편의 도움 수행의 평균은 4점 만점에 3.2점이었다. Mann-Whitney U test에서 남편의 도움은 실험군 산모의 산후우울감소의 순위 평균값을 유의하게 낮추었고(p<.001), 산후자기효능감 순위 평균값이 대조군보다 높았으나 유의한 차이를 보이지는 않았다. 본 예비연구 중 산후산모에 대한 연구에서는 대조군이 실험처치의 혜택 없이 설문 응답을 해야 하는 부담을 가지므로 향후 본 실험연구의 설계를 수정할 필요가 있다.
