| Abstract
|
:
|
Postpartum depression (PPD) is a heterogeneous syndrome that is one of the most common complications of childbirth. Previous literature suggests that seven to twenty percent of U.S. women experience perinatal mood symptoms, making PPD treatment vital for the well-being of mothers and their infants. However, there is a paucity of literature focusing on the perinatal experiences of women of color, including Muslim women, which suggests further research is needed to better understand PPD in this population. The current study describes the characteristics of a convenience sample of U.S. Muslim women’s postpartum depressive symptoms and identifies associated risk and protective factors in this sample. Muslim women living in the United States (<i>N</i> = 261) participated in an online survey, which inquired about demographics, perinatal medical and risk factors, mental health (depression and anxiety), tolerance of ambiguity, acculturation, and gender role attitudes. Participants also provided details about religious and cultural contexts of their perinatal experiences. Data were analyzed utilizing both quantitative and qualitative approaches.
