Implication

Prospective cohort reveals a 6.3% prevalence of maternity blues and significant risk factors in rural women, suggesting further interventions are needed.

Key Points

A prevalence of maternity blues was found at 6.3% among mothers six hours and six days postpartum, indicating a common issue.
Key factors linked to maternity blues included poor breastfeeding and stressful labor events, with odds ratios showing strong associations.
The analysis employed bivariate and multivariate logistic regression to identify significant factors impacting maternal mental health.
Addressing maternity blues is crucial as it increases the likelihood of subsequent postpartum depression and requires targeted interventions.
