Abstract

Covid-19 pandemic conditions have the potential to increase postpartum stress disorders.

This study aims to determine the incidence of post partum depression when the Covid-19pandemic occurs. The research design used was crosssectional using anonymous line questionnare. The research subjects were postpartum mothers at 1-24 weeks among 106 respondents. Retrieval of data using the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) questionnaire includes 10 questions and respondent characteristics that are distributed online. The results showed that the incidence of PPD reached 28.3%. The proportion of PPD incidence increased based on post partum time: 10% at less than one month, 32% at 1 month, 19% at 2 months, 31.3% at 3 months and 35.3% at 4 months and over.
