Introduction: Postpartum depression (PPD) is a prevalent mental health issue that poses significant challenges to maternal wellbeing and infant development. We aimed to determine the prevalence of PPD and to investigate its associated determinants and predictors in in Shenyang, China. Methods: < 0.05. Results: A total of 1,065 postpartum mothers were included in this study, of whom 23.57% were identified as having postpartum depressive symptoms. Significant risk factors included prenatal anxiety (OR = 7.16, 95% CI: 4.67-11.11), poor sleep quality (OR = 5.30, 95% CI: 3.45-8.20), poor marital relationships (OR = 4.41, 95% CI: 2.47-7.99), poor in-law relationships (OR = 4.89, 95% CI: 3.11-7.74), unplanned pregnancy (OR = 2.92, 95% CI: 2.01-4.27), and lack of prenatal education (OR = 1.7, 95% CI: 1.15-2.52). A non-linear relationship was observed with gestational weight gain: gains <11 kg were associated with reduced risk (OR = 0.91, 95% CI: 0.83-0.99), whereas gains >11 kg increased risk (OR = 1.06, 95% CI: 1.02-1.10). Other factors included smoking history (OR = 1.8, 95% CI: 1.08-2.98) and expected fetal sex (OR = 3.39, 95% CI: 2.02-5.70). Conclusion: PPD affects a significant proportion of postpartum women in Shenyang, China. Routine screening and targeted interventions are essential to identify and support high-risk individuals with PPD.
