  "Postpartum depression affects up to 15 to 20 percent of new mothers," says Dr. Elizabeth Corwin, assistant professor, School of Nursing."It comes on anywhere from two weeks to four months after childbirth and may last from two weeks to a year."
  
  The researchers note that 50 to 80 percent of new mothers will have postpartum blues.However, this very common malady is mild and usually goes away on its own, although occasionally, postpartum blues can become postpartum depression.Less than a half percent of new mothers will develop postpartum psychosis, a very rare and very dangerous mental illness.
  
  ...
  Corwin and Ingrid Bozoky, a recent master's degree recipient, wanted to see if a connection between postpartum fatigue and postpartum depression exists.
  ...
  "A simple questionnaire used on day 14 after birth, which would correspond with one of the baby's first visits to the pediatrician or other health care provider, could serve as a screening tool to identify women likely to develop postpartum depression," says Corwin.
  
  The researchers did find five women whose answers to the questionnaire indicated they were at risk of developing postpartum depression, but these women did not suffer depression.
  
  "Fatigue after childbirth is normal, and those women who did not report depression at 28 days showed a steady decline in tiredness during the first month after delivery", says Corwin."The women who did show moderate to severe postpartum depression did not experience a fall off in fatigue as time progressed."
  
  The study found that the choice of breast or bottle-feeding had no effect on who became depressed.Neither did the presence nor absence of other children or partners.None of the women had been diagnosed previously as having suffered postpartum depression, but it was unknown if the women had suffered previous undiagnosed bouts of generalized depression.There were 38 women in the study and 14, or 36 percent, showed moderate to severe depression.
  ...
  "In the 1980s people talked about the role of fatigue in depression, but we do not know if fatigue simply predicts depression or causes depression," says Corwin."There certainly is some connection between fatigue and postpartum depression.
  
  "Mothers should remember that they need to take care of themselves after giving birth, fatigue is common and may play a role in postpartum depression."

  The project , which began July 1 , is under the direction of Dr. Elizabeth J. Corwin , assistant professor of nursing and coordinator of the family nurse practitioner program.
  
  This project builds upon the success that the School of Nursing has had over the last three years in delivering FNP courses ( via videoconferencing ) to nurses in rural communities who otherwise would be isolated from educational opportunities , says Corwin.Grounding this initiative is the concept that educating FNP students in their rural home communities will increase the likelihood that they will remain at to practice after graduation..
  
  This project addresses the needs of bachelor-prepared nurses in the following counties of Pennsylvania : Elk , Tioga , Lackawanna , Franklin , Fayette and Mercer.The program incorporates interactive video and Internet-delivered courses to better meet the needs of those adult learners.
  
  Penn State's FNP program offers a master's degree for bachelor-prepared nurses who want to function in an expanded role as a family nurse practitioner , providing direct care to individuals and families throughout the life span.

  Hospital Downgrades to Surpass 1999As the credit quality of the nation's not-for-profit hospitals continues to slip , total downgrades of hospital debt are on pace to surpass last year's breathtaking level , Moody's Investors Service warned.
  
  Reuters reported that the rating agency downgraded 28 hospital credits affecting $7.5 billion of debt in the first 6 months of 2000.In the same period a year ago , the agency lowered 35 ratings , affecting the same amount of debt.Results of its analysis will appear in an upcoming report.

  If we can relieve some negative symptoms -- including depression -- by reducing the inflammatory response, we may be able to increase the likelihood that heavy or moderate smokers can successfully quit," said Elizabeth Corwin, PhD, assistant professor in the Penn State University school of nursing and the Intercollege Physiology Program.
  
  The researchers explained that smokers often fail multiple attempts to quit, in part, because of the unpleasant symptoms that accompany nicotine withdrawal, including depression, fatigue, muscle aches and appetite changes.Similar unpleasant symptoms accompany acute and chronic illness and these symptoms are known to result from elevated levels of cytokines, which are produced by white blood cells in response to inflammation.The investigators decided to see if cytokines also could be linked to the same symptoms in smokers who stop smoking.
  
  Blood samples from 20 heavy or moderate smokers, ages 18 to 35, were taken while they were smoking freely and after they had stopped smoking for 24 hours.Blood samples also were taken from 22 nonsmokers for comparison.

  Dr. Elizabeth Corwin, assistant professor in the school of nursing and the Intercollege Physiology Program, says, "Our research shows that nicotine withdrawal is a significant physical as well as psychological stressor that impacts multiple systems of the body, including the immune system.If we can relieve some negative symptoms – including depression – by reducing the inflammatory response, we may be able to increase the likelihood that heavy or moderate smokers can successfully quit."

  That will involve working with potential new mothers prior to pregnancy to increase their health awareness and improve health behaviors, said Elizabeth Corwin, associate professor in Penn State's School of Nursing and Intercollege Physiology Program.
  
  Corwin also coordinates the Family Nurse Practitioner Program and will teach future nurses about the project's findings.
