The study found that a lower probability of maternal depression was predicted with the presence of grandparents under age 70, employed, and without severe health problems, especially if they were still married and lived close to their daughter.
Grandparental characteristics associated with increased potential for providing support and decreased need for receiving support were noted to predict a lower likelihood of maternal depression, especially among separating mothers, according to the researchers.
