Postpartum Depression in Nonbiological Fathers in Same-Sex Partnerships
Shi Jianzheng
Abstract: This study investigated postpartum depression in nonbiological fathers in same-sex partnerships and the factors influencing their mental health. A survey of 500 participants revealed that 32.4% of nonbiological fathers exhibited clinical symptoms of depression. Minority stress, work-family conflict, and socioeconomic factors were identified as the primary predictors of depressive symptoms. The findings underscore the necessity for targeted support and interventions for this group.
