dc.description.abstractBackground: In this study, we aimed to investigate the course of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and the demographic and clinical correlates associated with significant changes in symptom severity in postpartum women. Methods: Data were collected form 37 consecutive postpartum women who were diagnosed with OCD during psychiatric interviews by means of the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-IV (SCID-I). Psychiatric assessments were carried out on the first day after delivery and at 6 to 8 weeks in the postpartum period. The Yale-Brown Obsessive-Compulsive Scale (Y-BOCS) was administered at both assessments while the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), Coping orientation to problems Experienced (COPE) and Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS) and Temperament Evaluation of Memphis, Pisa, Paris, and San Diego Autoquestionnaire (TEMPS-A), were administered to the participants at the first assessment. Results: The mean score of Y-BOCS was significantly reduced from the baseline to the 6-8 week postpartum period. The proportion of patients with a decreaseof at least 35% in the total score of Y-BOCS during the postpartum period was 43.2%. When the patient groups with and without >= 35% decrease in the total score of Y-BOCS were compared, the group showing the decrease had a higher score of COPE-supression of competing activities, COPE-humor and TEMPS-A-hyperthymic affective temperament and more frequently reported a decrease in the severity of OCD symptoms after a previous childbirth. Logistic regression analysis indicated that the last two variables could accurately predict a >= 35 decrease in the severity of OCD symptoms during the postpartum period. Limitations: The study has relatively small sample size. Conclusions: The current results suggest that patients with OCD who exhibit hyperthymic affective temperament character and a decrease in symptoms following a previous childbirth may experience a significant alleviation in the severity of obsessive-compulsive symptoms during the postpartum period.en_US
