The current study pointed to no significant correlation
between the PHLC and PPD. Despite, no similar study was
found in this issue for comparison. Similar to this study,
Richardson et al. (2012) reported that CHLC has a statistically
significant correlation with PPD in pregnant women.
Benassi et al. (1988) also revealed that control belief wasrelated to depression. Despite this study, Moshki et al.
(2010) in assessing relationship between health control and
lifestyle of pregnant women demonstrated no significant
correlation between powerful others and chance beliefs.
The interesting point in the present study was that before
intervention, PHLC scores was higher in experiment group
than in control group, making this variable significant in
the two groups, but after intervention, no significant difference
yielded between the two groups, which is indicative of
efficacy of the intervention programme in reducing PHLC.
