Abstract

Objectives

To evaluate the association between mother–child bonding at 6–9 months after birth and suicidal ideation

Methods

A cross-sectional study embedded in a clinical trial with 358 low-income postpartum women who had antenatal depression in São Paulo, Brazil. The Postpartum Bonding Questionnaire and the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 were used

Results

The percentage of the main outcome, suicidal ideation (SI) was 10.3%. Using logistic regression models, bonding impairment (BI) was associated with SI even after controlling for postpartum depression and other covariates.

Conclusions for Practice

SI affects 10% of vulnerable postpartum women. BI is independently associated with SI. Treating BI may prevent SI
