Predictors of paternal prenatal depression
Compared with fathers recruited before the announcement of
human-to-human transmission, fathers reported significantly lower risk
of perinatal depression during traffic restrictions and traffic
restrictions dismissed periods (OR=0.54, 95% CI: 0.34, 0.87; OR=0.30,
95% CI: 0.14, 0.63; respectively) (Table 4). Family function was a
statistically significant risk factor for paternal perinatal depression.
Low or fair of family function significantly associated with elevated
risk of paternal perinatal depression (OR=2.45, 95% CI: 1.56, 3.83).
For demographic factors, fathers with low family income
(<50,000 RMB) was significantly associated with increased risk
of perinatal depression (OR=1.75, 95% CI: 1.36, 4.44). For health
behavior factors, poor/fair of sleep quality related with increased risk
of perinatal depression (OR=3.18, 95% CI: 2.19, 4.63). Fathers had
smoking habitat were found increased risk of perinatal depression
(OR=1.50, 95% CI: 1.03, 2.20).
