Abstract

Background: Postpartum adaptation is part of the life cycle experienced by parents in carrying out their new role. The inability to adapt to existing changes can result in postpartum depression. Purpose: This study aims to determine the early adaptations that new Asian parents can make to prevent postpartum depression. Method: This literature review uses a scoping review method guided by PRISMA ScR through database searches from PubMed, Sage Journals, Scopus, ScienceDirect, and websites outside the database filtering according to predetermined criteria. Results: The 6 pieces of reviewed literature had 429 postpartum mothers from Singapore, Malaysia, Arabia, Iran, and China with 245 primiparous mothers. Adaptations that can be made are related to the ability to adjust to physiological and psychological changes that occur through the support of partners, family, the environment, and professional health workers, as well as optimizing the latest technology and preventive interventions. Conclusion: Continuous support is needed to prevent postpartum depression. Health professionals can provide appropriate and effective preventive intervention by identifying adaptations that can be made in the early postpartum period.
