A Descriptive Study of the Correlation Between Postpartum Depression and Body Image Dissatisfaction, Self-objectification, and Social Media Appearance Comparison
The goal of this observational study is to assess the prevalence of postpartum depression and analyze its relationship with body image dissatisfaction, self-objectification, and social media appearance comparison in postpartum women seeking care at the Obstetrics Department.
The main questions it aims to answer are:
What is the current status of postpartum depression, body image dissatisfaction, and self-objectification in this population? How do body image dissatisfaction, self-objectification, and appearance-related social media comparison correlate with postpartum depression? Participants will answer online survey questions about their psychological status and social media usage.

Descrizione dettagliata
This cross-sectional study will be conducted using a questionnaire survey methodology. A self-designed general information questionnaire will be administered to collect and describe the demographic characteristics and obstetric information of the postpartum population at baseline. Furthermore, a series of standardized instruments will be utilized to assess specific psychological and behavioral variables among the participants:
The Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) to evaluate postpartum depressive status; The Multidimensional Body-Self Relations Questionnaire (MBSRQ) to measure the degree of body image dissatisfaction; The Objectified Body Consciousness Scale (OBCS) to evaluate the level of self-objectification; The Social Networking Sites Appearance Comparison Scale (SNSACS) to assess appearance comparison behaviors on social media; The Social Networking Site Intensity Scale (FBI) to determine the intensity of social media usage; The Upward Physical Appearance Comparison Scale (UPACS) to evaluate the extent of upward physical appearance comparisons.
Finally, this study will further analyze the correlations among postpartum body image dissatisfaction, self-objectification, appearance comparison on social media, and postpartum depression.
