2026年5月20日更新者：Wei XIA, PhD、Sun Yat-sen University

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.

详细说明

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.

主要结果指标

结果测量	措施说明	大体时间
postpartum depression 大体时间：from 4 weeks to 12 months postpartum	Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale, EPDS The scale consists of 10 items rated on a 4-point scale ranging from 0 (never) to 3 (always), with a total score ranging from 0 to 30. Higher scores indicate greater severity of postpartum depression.	from 4 weeks to 12 months postpartum

次要结果测量

结果测量	措施说明	大体时间
body image dissatisfaction 大体时间：from 4 weeks to 12 months postpartum	Multidimensional Body-Self Relations Questionnaire (MBSRQ) This multidimensional scale consists of 52 items rated on a 5-point Likert scale ranging from 1 (strongly disagree) to 5 (strongly agree). Each subscale is scored independently, with lower scores indicating lower levels of body image satisfaction.	from 4 weeks to 12 months postpartum
self-objectification 大体时间：from 4 weeks to 12 months postpartum	Objectified Body Consciousness Scale （OBCS） The Objectified Body Consciousness Scale (OBCS) consists of 20 items rated on a 5-point Likert scale ranging from 1 (strongly disagree) to 5 (strongly agree). The scale comprises three subscales: (1) the Body Surveillance subscale (8 items, score range: 8-40), which measures the tendency of individuals to monitor their physical appearance; (2) the Body Shame subscale (8 items, score range: 8-40), which assesses the feelings of shame experienced when one's body fails to meet sociocultural standards; and (3) the Appearance Control Beliefs subscale (4 items, score range: 4-20), which evaluates the degree to which individuals believe they can control their physical appearance. Higher scores on each subscale indicate a greater level of objectified body consciousness in that respective dimension.	from 4 weeks to 12 months postpartum
appearance comparison behaviors on social media 大体时间：from 4 weeks to 12 months postpartum	Social Networking Site Appearance Comparison Scale, SNSACS This scale consists of 3 items rated on a 5-point Likert scale ranging from 1 (strongly disagree) to 5 (strongly agree), with total scores ranging from 3 to 15. Higher scores indicate a greater tendency for body image comparison on social networking sites.	from 4 weeks to 12 months postpartum
the intensity of social media usage 大体时间：from 4 weeks to 12 months postpartum	The Facebook Intensity Scale,FBI The scale consists of 8 items. The first two items assess the number of friends an individual has on social media and their average daily time spent on these platforms. The remaining six items are rated on a 5-point Likert scale ranging from 1 (strongly disagree) to 5 (strongly agree), with scores for this section ranging from 6 to 30. Higher scores on these six items indicate a greater intensity of social media use.	from 4 weeks to 12 months postpartum
Upward Appearance Comparison 大体时间：from 4 weeks to 12 months postpartum	Upward Physical Appearance Comparisons Scale,UPACS This scale consists of 10 items rated on a 5-point Likert scale ranging from 1 (strongly disagree) to 5 (strongly agree), with total scores ranging from 10 to 50.
