Abstract     Postpartum depression largely develops during the first six months following delivery. Its world-wide prevalence is between 3 and 33%, depending on the diagnostic methods and criteria. An attempt was made to standardize the Edinburgh questionnaire in Slovenia and use it to acquire normative data on the Slovene incidence of postpartum depression. With regard to similar studies carried out in Israel and in Slovenia using the BDI questionnaire, the incidence of postpartum depression in Slovenia was expected to reach approximately 20%. This prospective research included new mothers whose babies were delivered at the Ljubljana Maternity Hospital during randomly selected weeks. The EPDS questionnaire was translated. Six weeks after delivery, each of the new mothers received the EPDS questionnaire with an addressed return envelope. The data were processed using statistical software. A total of 449 new mothers were included as respondents; 28 new mothers declined participation or were excluded for not meeting the requirements, and 336 responses were evaluated. Using the EPDS, 21.3% of the new mothers had a score of 10 or higher. In accordance with the established screening criteria, the majority of postpartum depression cases were thought to be included. 10.1% of the new mothers had a score of 13 or higher; this group was thought to include the majority of more severe cases of postpartum depression. The findings confirmed our hypothesis. The incidence of postpartum depression in Slovenia is 21.3%.
Summary     Poporodna depresija se večinoma razvije v prvih šestih mesecih po porodu. Njena pogostnost po svetu je med 3 in 33 %, odvisno od uporabljenih metod in diagnostičnih kriterijev. Namen naloge je bil standardizirati edinburški vprašalnik v Sloveniji in z njim pridobiti normativne podatke o pojavnosti poporodne depresije pri nas. Glede na podobno raziskavo v Izraelu in pri nas izpeljano raziskavo z vprašalnikom BDI sva predvidevali, da je pojavnost poporodne depresije pri nas približno 20%. V prospektivno raziskavo so bile vključene otročnice, ki so rodile v Porodnišnici Ljubljana v naključno določenih tednih. Prevedli sva vprašalnik EPDS. Šest tednov po porodu je vsaka otročnica prejela EPDS s povratno kuverto. Pridobljene podatke sva obdelali s pomočjo statističnega programa. Zajeli sva 449 otročnic. 28 otročnic je odklonilo sodelovanje oziroma sva jih izključili na podlagri določenih pogojev. Ovrednotili sva 366 vprašalnikov. Z uporabo EPDS sva dobili 21,3 % otročnic z rezultatom 10 ali več točk, kar naj bi po uveljavljenih kriterijih z EPDS zajelo večino poporodnih depresij. 13 točk ali več je doseglo 10,1% otročnic; to naj bi zajelo večino težjih poporodnih depresij. Hipotezo sva potrdili. Pojavnost poporodnih depresij pri nas je 21,3 %.
