Abstract:
Introduction: Maternal depression during pregnancy is a significant concern with potential consequences for both maternal and child health. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between birth weight and maternal depression in primigravidae and to assess the statistical significance of any potential association.
Methods: In our research, we compared the maternal depression among a group of Primigravidae. Our main goal was to understand how the weight of the babies they delivered could be linked to the mothers' depression. To do this, we collected and thoroughly examined data from a significant number of participants, and we used advanced statistical methods to analyze it. This study contributes valuable insights to the field of maternal health research.
Results: Our statistical analysis revealed an exceptionally low p-value of 1.05076 x 10-14, indicating an extremely high level of statistical significance. The exceptionally small p-value firmly dismisses the null hypothesis (Ho), which originally claimed that birth weight has no significant impact on maternal depression. Instead, our results strongly back the alternative hypothesis (Ha), indicating that birth weight, whether it's low or within the normal range, indeed plays a substantial role in maternal depression among first-time pregnant women (Primigravidae) in this research.
Conclusion: This study establishes a compelling association between birth weight and maternal depression within the Primigravidae population. Our results highlights the importance of considering birth weight as a crucial factor in understanding and addressing maternal depression in Primigravidae. These findings have significant implications for healthcare professionals and policymakers, emphasizing the need for tailored interventions and support for women at risk of maternal depression based on birth weight considerations.
