The relationship between mothers age, gender of child, education level, socioeconomic status, and symptoms of depression in mothers were analysed using Chi-square test and Independent t-test. The risk factors were identied using logistic regression test. Variables with P<0.25 in the univariable analysis were further analyzed by the multivariable logistic regression model. A P value <0.05 was considered statistically signicant. The mean age of mothers in this study was 37.12 years (SD 6.92). Symptoms of depression proportion in this study was 61%. The lowest prevalence rate of depression (32%) is seen in mothers with a college diploma or bachelor's degree. There was a statistically signicant relationship between education level, socioeconomic status, and symptoms of depression in mothers. Based on the results of multivariate analysis; low education level (OR=0.11; 95% CI, 0.02-0.62) and middle and high income (OR=0.13; 95% CI, 0.02-0.72) remained signicant risk factors of symptoms of depression in mothers.
