Abstract
Aim and Background: Despite prominent medical health improvement programs for women of reproductive ages in recent years, the mental health of this group has been neglected. An increasing trend had been observed in the rate of depression among women of reproductive ages. Depression has negative effects on the health status and quality of life (QOL) of women and their family members. Moreover, sociocultural factors in different societies have high impact on depression in women. Due to the abovementioned factors, this study was designed to evaluate the prevalence of postpartum depression and its correlation with some socio-demographic risk factors in women referred to local health centers in Najafabad, Iran. Using the results of this study, recommendations for health plans can be provided based on local risk factors. Methods and Materials: This cross-sectional descriptive study was performed in the summer of 2004. The study subjects included all mothers of rural areas of Najafabad who had given birth 2-12 months prior to the study (640 women). The data collection tools consisted of the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) and a researcher-made socio-demographic questionnaire. Findings: The total prevalence of depression was 37.2%. Being a housewife, unplanned pregnancy, lack of breastfeeding, prominent congenital malformation of the infant, primiparity, and multiparity (more than 3 births) were the main factors related to postpartum depression in this study. Postpartum depression had no significant relations with mother’s age and level of education, delivery mode, dissatisfaction with infant’s gender, and family economic status. Conclusions: The numerous previous studies have not provided reliable supporting evidence for the existence of common socio-demographic risk factors for postpartum depression in different societies. Thus, all public health interventions for the prevention of postpartum depression must to be based on regional risk factors.

Abstract
Aim and Background: The studies show a positive and direct relationship between basic psychological needs satisfaction and academic engagement. However, there is a lack of studies that analyze the underlying mechanisms that affect these relationships, particularly during COVID-19. The present study aimed to investigate the mediating role of sense of belonging to university in the relationship between basic needs satisfaction in interpersonal relationships and academic engagement.
Methods and Materials: The research population included all undergraduate students of University of Birjand in the second semester of 2020-2021. By convenience sampling, 231 participants, were asked to complete basic need satisfaction in relationships scale, psychological sense of university membership, and academic engagement questionnaires. Data analysis was conducted using structural equation modeling.
Findings: The results indicated that basic needs satisfaction in relationships with friends had a positive and supportive role in experiencing sense of belonging to university. Moreover, the mediating role of sense of belonging in the relationship between basic needs satisfaction and academic engagement was confirmed. The fit indices confirmed the goodness of fit of the stated model. Also, sense of belonging was significantly related to academic engagement.
Conclusions: These results highlight the importance of laying the groundwork for students' academic engagement in university, which requires providing a space to strengthen friendships and, as a result, contribute to creating a sense of belonging to the university. The limitations of this study and the directions of future research will be discussed.
