[Abstract] Objective To study the intervention effect of rational emotion therapy combined with micro-class education on postpartum depression. Methods Eighty patients with postpartum depression in our hospital from January to December 2019 were selected as the study subjects. They were divided into the study group and the control group according to the random number table method, with 40 cases each. The control group took routine intervention, and the study group was given rational emotional therapy combined with micro-class education on the basis of the control group. The edinburgh postpartum depression scale (EPDS), the Chinese version of the parenting competency scale (C-PSOC), and the quality of life scale (WHOQOL-BREF) between the two groups were compared. Results The EPDS score of the control group after intervention was significantly higher than that of the study group, and the C-PSOC score was significantly lower than that of the study group, the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). The WHOQOL-BREF total score of the control group after intervention was significantly lower than that of the study group, the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusion The combination of rational emotion therapy and micro-class education can significantly improve postpartum depression symptoms and improve child rearing competence and quality of life.
