Shunji Suzuki
Abstract
Under the COVID-19 (Coronavirus Disease 2019) pandemic, limitations are known to cause some psychosocial problems. We compared the results of mental screening of the postpartum women conducted during the COVID-19 epidemic with those at the same period last year. Based on the results, the worse mother-infant bonding was suspected at 1 month after birth under the COVID-19 pandemic.
