About

This study aims to explore whether quarantine measures, social distancing and hospital containment policies among women giving birth during the COVID-19 pandemic enhanced psycho-emotional distress in the immediate postpartum period. The investigators tested for depression using the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) in the first 6 postpartum months, and then used the Fear of COVID-19 Scale, measuring also the adherence and practices of breastfeeding according to WHO.
