Islamic-based Preventive Strategies for Postpartum Blues
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 3
Abstract
In all societies, maternity care and attention to pregnant women is one of the most sensitive and important physical and mental health services. Due to the influence of religion on the spirituality and psycho-mental health, God's healing power and its association with health, and also its great importance in reducing pain, anxiety, depression and tensions, it seems beneficial to apply faith that is organized on the basis of psychological methods, so this study aims to offer Islamic-based preventive strategies for postpartum blues. In this review study, we used the keywords such as Islamic religious teachings, nulliparous pregnant women, postpartum blues, and mental health to study the articles. We searched through different databases such as Medline and IranMedex, Google, Pub Med ،SID and Magiran. Findings indicated the effect of the mothers' knowledge of Islamic attitudes toward pregnancy and motherhood on anxiety reduction and increase in comfort in pregnant women. These attitudes include the countless rewards to pregnancy, childbirth, and lactation; Material support of mothers by husbands and their relief in this regard; Islamic emphasis on the importance of social protection by others (especially her husband); the importance of health care providers in mental health care. Islamic religious guidance encourages patients to change their unhealthy behaviors by positive incentives. It also motivates the mothers to apply serious maternal and fetal care in both mental and physical aspects. Post-labor depression is a common disorder among women. It is categorized into two typical classes: mild depression (post-labor sadness) and severe one (post-labor depression). If not treated on time, it will have some devastating effects on both maternal and fetal health. Keywords: Islam, postpartum, Blues
