abstract = {To investigate whether hair cortisol (HCC) and hair
cortisone (HCNC) can be predicted by repeated stress reports
from postpartum women in different mental health conditions
(non-depressed, ND, adjustment disorder, AD, postpartum
depression, PPD), 240 mothers (mean age 31.8 years; SD =
4.7) were monitored from within 1 to 6 days of childbirth
over a period of three months. HCC and HCNC in 3 cm hair
samples were assessed via triple mass spectrometry after
liquid chromatographic separation. Every second day,
participants reported their stress levels online. The summed
perceived stress scores were not found to be predictive of
HCC. However, perceived stress predicted a decrease in HCNC
(rSpearman = -0.153, p = 0.035) and an increase in the
HCC/HCNC ratio (rSpearman = 0.304, p < 0.001) in the ND
group. With AD in the first few weeks after childbirth, an
inverse effect appeared for HCNC (rSpearman = 0.318, p =
0.011), suggesting an overall downregulation of the HPA axis
owing to the stressful experience of adjusting to the new
situation. No effects were found for mothers developing PPD.
The indirect results of HPA-axis activity are better
indicators of the experience of psychological stress in
postpartum women than the absolute HCC value.},
