Objective:To analyze the effect of sandplay therapy from a positive psychology perspective on sleep improvement in postpartum depression patients receiving pharmacotherapy.Methods:A total of 86 patients diagnosed with postpartum depression and treated at Longyan People's Hospital from August 2022 to August 2023 were selected as the study subjects.They were ran-domly divided into a control group and an observation group,with 43 cases in each group,based on their admission order.The con-trol group received conventional pharmacological treatment,while the observation group received pharmacotherapy alongside sand-play therapy from a positive psychology perspective.The two groups were compared in terms of depression symptoms,sleep quali-ty,and serum indicators before and after the intervention.Results:After the intervention,the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale(EPDS)scores in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group,with a statistically significant difference(P＜0.05).The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index(PSQI)scores in the observation group were also significantly lower than those in the control group(P＜0.05).Additionally,the levels of serotonin(5-HT)and brain-derived neurotrophic factor(BDNF)in the observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group after the intervention(P＜0.05).Con-clusion:Implementing sandplay therapy from a positive psychology perspective in postpartum depression patients receiving phar-macotherapy can improve depression symptoms,regulate 5-HT and BDNF levels,and enhance sleep quality.
