Clinical Trial Summary

The integrated psychological program (IPP) is based on evidence from the local population showing that the interventional components (mindfulness training, music listening, video counselling) are amenable to implementation in the outpatient care setting. Incorporating innovative digital mobile and electronic applications in the care of an increasingly technology-savvy population will be strategic. The proposal will transform the healthcare model for treating postnatal depression (PND) and persistent postpartum pain (PPP).


Clinical Trial Description

The childbirth process is associated with the risk of developing postnatal depression (PND) and persistent postpartum pain (PPP), which could contribute to maternal morbidity. There is a lack of routine structured and effective programs in current practice to monitor and effectively manage PND and PPP. Pilot study found specific pain and psychological vulnerability factors associated with increased risk of PND after childbirth. The investigators propose an integrated psychological program (IPP) consisting of mindfulness mobile application, music listening, digital health video counselling and mobile electronic survey to effectively prevent, detect, monitor, and treat PND and PPP. The primary aim is to determine whether the use of the IPP will result in lower incidence of PND after childbirth. The study will also determine whether the use of the IPP will result in lower postnatal Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) scores in a subgroup of laboring women (with outcomes of vaginal or emergency Cesarean delivery) that may have increased risk factors for PND. The interplay of psychological and pain factors during the use of the IPP will also be determined using patient centric outcomes (mother-child bonding, breastfeeding self-efficacy, quality of life). A total of 1480 women undergoing childbirth will be recruited in this randomized controlled trial. This proposal has the potential to recommend guidelines in community care and to incorporate digital health in management of PND and PPP. The IPP will also provide patient-centered care tailored to the individual's needs and will have an immediate potential to improve transition of hospital to community care in postnatal women health. ;
