significant correlation between financial status and PPD.
Beck (2001) and Dennis et al. (2004) stated that financial

The present study pointed the highest mean score among
pregnant women before intervention related to internal
belief, powerful others belief and chance belief, respectively,
which concurs with the results obtained by Richardson
et al. (2012). Abraham (2008) reported that internal,
chance and powerful others had the highest mean scores,
respectively.
