This descriptive research aimed to determine the prevalence of postpartum depression with the Postpartum Depression Assessment Scale (EPDs) and the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9/9Q), and to determine the coherence of the EPDs and 9Q assessments among 129 postpartum mothers within 48 -72 hours in Phang Khon Hospital and Nong Han Hospital between May and November 2021. The mothers were asked to self-report the EPDs and 9Q Postnatal Depression Questionnaire. The data were analyzed by frequency, percentage, and Kappa test statistics. The result found that EPDs and 9Q had the same rate of 8.5 percent (11 persons). The two assessments combined showed an increase in the prevalence of postpartum depression to 15.5 percent (20 persons). The consistency of both assessments, there was no statistical consensus at the .05 significance level (kappa =.106, p =.231). The conclusion: EPDs and 9Q were able to assess postpartum depression 48-72 hours postpartum. The two types of assessments were inconsistent in assessing postpartum depression. Which type of assessment to choose depends on whether the assessor wants to determine the level of postpartum depression or not.
