Filter by:This project aims to understand the local feasibility and acceptability of MamaMeals (a home-delivered nutritious, postpartum meal delivery program) and MamaMatters (a moderated social media-based peer support group) among peripartum women who are eligible for federal supplemental nutrition assistance programs such as The Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children (WIC) or Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). The investigators will conduct a prospective randomized controlled trial (RCT) of these two interventions among postpartum individuals. Analyses will be performed to determine the relative risk of postpartum depressive or anxiety symptoms (primary outcome) and overall well-being and maternal/infant health (secondary/exploratory outcomes) between groups. Findings from this pilot intervention study will inform a future, large RCT exploring the effectiveness of MamaMeals and/or MamaMatters on reducing postpartum mental health symptoms and cardiovascular morbidity among individuals with food insecurity during and after pregnancy.
This is a two-group pretest-posttest, triple-blinded and randomized controlled trial examining the effects of a biofeedback-assisted diaphragmatic breathing training on postpartum anxiety. This study will include full-term postpartum women, aged from 20 to 49, who experienced anxious symptoms with State Anxiety Inventory (A-State) scored 40 or more at the first postpartum day. Participants will be randomly assigned to either an experimental group (n = 64) or a control group (n = 64). The experimental group will undergo the diaphragmatic breathing training assisted with StressEraser to breath slowly 4-6 times per minute and practice 15 minutes twice daily. Participants in the control condition receive postpartum usual care. The outcome measures include anxiety measured by State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) and the physiological parameters expressed by blood pressure (BP) and heart rate (HR). Measurements will be taken at the first postpartum day and one month postpartum. We except this breathing training design is able to improve women's postpartum anxiety, and in turn improve their physio-psychological health, breastfeeding and baby care skills.
The goal of the proposed research is to test the feasibility and acceptability of a virtual group session which is intended to be offered universally to Spanish-speaking parents of newborns/infants attending pediatric primary care. The virtual session is intended to (1) enhance patient/family education about postpartum depression (PPD) and (2) Provide an orientation to families regarding relevant clinic and community psychosocial support resources available. The investigators will conduct a single-arm, open pilot of the session, which will be co-delivered by existing clinic staff (including social work and community outreach staff). Session contents include (1) Introduction to clinic staff, contacts, and resources (2) A video-recorded testimonial of a patient with a history of perinatal depression followed by a group discussion about/reflection on the video; (3) Review of prevalence and signs of PPD; (4) Discussion of clinic PPD screening procedures and rationale for screening; (5) Discussion of self-care and mood monitoring; (6) Discussion of relevant local resources, including information about availability of primary care resources for parents (including uninsured parents) and information about resources addressing social needs. The overall aim of the project is to Develop and pilot a virtual group augmentation of standard individual well-child care to improve (1) clinic screening procedures, discussion about and initial management of maternal depressive symptoms with immigrant Latinas and (2) patient symptom recognition, symptom disclosure, and subsequent treatment engagement
The SUPPORT Study aims to evaluate the effectiveness and usability of postpartumcare.ca, a web-enabled resource for postpartum depression (PPD) and postpartum anxiety (PPA), created based on the input of birthing parents in British Columbia (BC) affected by these disorders.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate a text message intervention called Essential Coaching for Every Mother in Tanzania to improve mothers' access to essential newborn care information during the immediate six-week postnatal period.
The postpartum period is a process in which both physical (bleeding, infection, anemia) and emotional (delay in breastfeeding and mother-baby relationship) problems occur in women. Among the conditions that physically affect the woman who has had a cesarean section, a decrease in bowel movements is often seen and this decrease can last for 24 hours or longer. Initiation of bowel movements after surgery, time of first flatulence and defecation are important factors that determine postoperative patient comfort.
The study was planned as a two-group parallel randomized controlled experimental study in order to determine the effects of the nurse navigation program developed for mothers in the postpartum period on mothers' self-care power, quality of life, anxiety and depression risks, and physical symptom severity. The study will be carried out in Ankara Etlik Zübeyde Hanım Gynecology Training and Research Hospital. The population of the research will be primiparous mothers who gave birth vaginally in Ankara.
This study is a pilot, single-center, randomized controlled trial. It will 1. determine feasibility and acceptability of an evidence-based intervention for prevention of postpartum depression with antepartum patients on a high-risk obstetric unit, 2. determine what adaptations may be needed for an inpatient population 3. determine what retention strategies are most successful and acceptable for this patient population 4. estimate the effect size of an intervention for in-hospital distress, anxiety and depression 5. estimate the effect size of an intervention to reduce the risk of a post-partum depression diagnosis or depressive symptoms.
The proposed study seeks to elucidate the mechanisms underlying Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy in pregnancy to improve understanding of how and why this treatment modality enhances well-being, which can then be leveraged to optimize treatment for psychological distress emerging during this vulnerable period.
The aim of this study is to explore the feasibility of delivering clinical mindfulness groups for families affected with postpartum depression and anxiety (PPDA). Families with PPDA are a vulnerable population who already face challenges during the postpartum period, but now the Covid-19 era has brought extra challenges - lower availability of family members or support systems to help in person, older children at home as childcare facilities are closed, etc. Clinical mindfulness groups are now being run online to support this population, with the current barriers of having to stay at home. Through this study, we want to capture the challenges that both clinicians and participants might face using virtual platforms (e.g. technical difficulties), to see whether online delivery of clinical mindfulness groups is feasible.
