Title

IMPACT OF PATIENT COUNSELING AND MEDICATION ADHERENCE IN POSTPARTUM DEPRESSION PATIENTS: A PROSPECTIVE OBSERVATIONAL STUDY

Abstract

Postpartum depression (PPD) is a complex combination of physical, emotional, and behavioral changes that happens in most of the women after giving child birth. The present study was to compare the effectiveness before and after patient counselling with medication adherence in postpartum depression patients. A prospective comparative study method was used to determine the impact of patient counselling and to evaluate the prevalence of risk factors in PPD patients. Pill count method was used to estimate the adherence of the medication before and after patient counselling. Three sessions of patient counseling were conducted by using Edinburgh postnatal depression and RCOG scale whereas medication adherence was estimated using modified morisky scale. For each session a comparison was done before and after patient counselling to know the medication adherence and its impact which was evaluated based on disease improvement status. From the study it was found that prevalence of PPD rate was 98.66% and the most affected age group is 18 to 24 years. Among the risk factors, abortion is the most prevailing risk factor and married women were mostly affected. During the first session of counselling it was found that the medication adherence was 22% and increased significantly after each follow up counselling and 100% medical adherence was found during the third session. From the study we concluded that patient counseling had a significant impact which helped in improving quality of life in PPD patients and reduces complications such as affected bond between mother and baby, family members and social communication.
