Objective

To analyze the effects of nighttime sleep duration on postpartum depressive symptoms of couples in Anhui Province on both partners based on the actor-partner interdependence model.

Methods

Depression screening using the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) was performed on couples who brought their babies for child health checkups at 42 days, 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months postpartum to maternal and child healthcare facilities in Huaibei City, Jieshou City, Ma'anshan City, and Huangshan City, Anhui Province, from November 2023-October 2024, using the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS).To describe the general condition and detection of depressive symptoms in couples, and to analyze the association between the length of nighttime sleep and postpartum depressive symptoms in couples through the actor-partner interdependence model.

Results

A total of 2 424 couples were included in the analysis, and the overall detection rates of depressive symptoms at the four postpartum time points were 18.7% and 19.7% for husbands and wives, respectively. The detection rates of depressive symptoms at the 4 postpartum time points were 17.0%, 20.4%, 19.7%, and 17.8% for husbands and 19.7%, 19.6%, 21.1%, and 18.3% for wives. Spearman's correlation analysis showed that the wife's nighttime sleep duration was negatively correlated with both her own and her husband's depression scores, and positively correlated with the husband's nighttime sleep duration, and the husband's nighttime sleep duration was negatively correlated with his own and his wife's depression scores.Furthermore, the wife's depression scores were positively correlated with her husband's depression scores. The actor-partner interdependence model showed that both wives' and husbands' nocturnal sleep duration were able to predict their own depressive symptoms(β=-0.890, 95% CI=-1.016--0.763, β=-0.417, 95% CI=-0.550--0.284, all P<0.001), the actor effect was significant; in terms of the partner effect, nighttime sleep duration of both wives and husbands predicts each other’s depressive symptoms(β=-0.200, 95% CI=-0.292--0.108, P<0.001).

Conclusion

Postpartum depression is more prevalent among couples in four sites in Anhui Province, and nighttime sleep duration is negatively associated with postpartum depression, with both couples interacting with each other, suggesting that psychological interventions need to be carried out jointly by both couples.
