概要 This study assessed depression and fatigue among first-time mothers in Japan who were less than one year postpartum and attended parenting classes. A total of 673 mothers participated. The mean Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) and Subjective Fatigue Symptom Scale (SFSS) scores showed multiple comparisons based on the number of months postpartum and the maternal age. Regarding parenting support activities provided by local public agencies, it is important to implement initiatives to promote the mental and physical health of postpartum mothers by partnering with various specialist organizations. The study findings are significant as they reveal, from a fact-finding survey, the inadequacy of support toward mothers after two months postpartum.
