Postpartum depression is a debilitating mental disorder that affects approximately 10-15% of women after childbirth. Few studies have investigated the effects of employment on postpartum depression, yet 54% of mothers of infants worked in the U.S. labor force in 2003. This dissertation utilized data on 817 women delivering at 3 Minnesota hospitals in 2001 to examine the effects of leave duration, job strain and work-family conflict on postpartum depressive symptoms. Theoretical perspectives from the fields of sociology and occupational health psychology were utilized to explain the risk and protective factors of postpartum depressive symptoms among employed women over the first year after childbirth. The overarching theory was Leonard Pearlin's stress process, composed of stressors, stress moderators, and stress outcomes. Robert Karasek's demand-control-support model was used as an application of the stress process to the workplace setting and was expanded to include work-family conflict. The main premise is that among employed women there is an interdependent relationship between stress arising from paid work and stress arising from unpaid tasks at home, which may have health implications.

520 $a Postpartum depression is a debilitating mental disorder that affects approximately 10-15% of women after childbirth. Few studies have investigated the effects of employment on postpartum depression, yet 54% of mothers of infants worked in the U.S. labor force in 2003. This dissertation utilized data on 817 women delivering at 3 Minnesota hospitals in 2001 to examine the effects of leave duration, job strain and work-family conflict on postpartum depressive symptoms. Theoretical perspectives from the fields of sociology and occupational health psychology were utilized to explain the risk and protective factors of postpartum depressive symptoms among employed women over the first year after childbirth. The overarching theory was Leonard Pearlin's stress process, composed of stressors, stress moderators, and stress outcomes. Robert Karasek's demand-control-support model was used as an application of the stress process to the workplace setting and was expanded to include work-family conflict. The main premise is that among employed women there is an interdependent relationship between stress arising from paid work and stress arising from unpaid tasks at home, which may have health implications.
520 $a Given the availability of longitudinal data on these mothers at 6 weeks, 12 weeks, 6 months, and 12 months after childbirth, these theories were tested using econometric methods specific to panel data. Two Stage Least Squares analysis showed that every additional day of leave from work after childbirth until 6 months postpartum decreases depressive symptoms. Fixed effects regression analyses revealed that work stressors including psychological demands and family-to-work conflict and home stressors including work-to-family conflict, infant sleep problems, and infant fussy behavior increase postpartum depressive symptoms. The following psychosocial resources had independent effects on postpartum depressive symptoms: time control, perceived control, and available social support. Supervisor support and available social support moderated the relationship between work-to-family conflict and postpartum depressive symptoms and time control moderated the impact of family-to-work conflict on postpartum depressive symptoms. In conclusion, this dissertation identified factors amenable to change that can inform leave policy discussions, employer policies and providers of health services with the ultimate goal of influencing positively the postpartum health of mothers, their career choices and their family lives.
