| Abstract |
Refugee women are at an increased risk of developing postpartum depression (PPD) due to a combination of various psychosocial stressors. This systematic review aims to outline the prevalence of PPD among refugee women and explore related risk factors and interventions currently in practice. A search was conducted using MEDLINE, Embase, PsycINFO, CINAHL, and Core Collection (Web of Science) for articles published until August 2022, yielding 229 records. The prevalence of refugee and asylum seeking women was 22.5% (n=657/2922), while the prevalence of non-refugee/asylum seeking women with PPD was 17.5% (n=400/2285). Refugee/asylum seeking women face a unique set of issues such as domestic abuse, separation and lack of support, stress, pre-migrational experiences, prior history of mental illness, low income, and discrimination. Refugee/asylum seeking women may benefit from support groups, individual support, self-coping mechanisms, and familial support. This review identifies that a higher prevalence of PPD in refugee and asylum seeking women compared to other groups can potentially be attributed to the unique risk factors they face. This warrants the need for further research as studies on interventions for this condition are limited amongst this population. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 2. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 05 February 2024.
All research outputs
#15,128,641
of 25,311,095 outputs
Outputs from Gynecologic and Obstetric Investigation
#497
of 792 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#98,562
of 250,075 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Gynecologic and Obstetric Investigation
#1
of 2 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,311,095 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 38th percentile – i.e., 38% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 792 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 4.1. This one is in the 35th percentile – i.e., 35% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 250,075 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 58% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 2 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has scored higher than all of them
