Coping strategies of women with postpartum depression symptoms in rural Ethiopia: a cross-sectional community study

摘要

BackgroundMost women with postpartum depression (PPD) in low- and middle-income countries remain undiagnosed and untreated, despite evidence for adverse effects on the woman and her child. The aim of this study was to identify the coping strategies used by women with PPD symptoms in rural Ethiopia to inform the development of socio-culturally appropriate interventions.
