Filter by: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.
It is common for parents in the postpartum period (the first twelve months following childbirth) to experience psychological difficulties, particularly low mood. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is an evidence-based intervention that aims to cultivate psychological flexibility; the ability to stay in contact with the present moment regardless of unpleasant thoughts, feelings and bodily sensations, while choosing one's behaviours based on values. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is effective in reducing depression in the general population, including brief ACT interventions. However, the effectiveness of ACT interventions in the postpartum period is not yet fully established. This study aims to investigate the feasibility (recruitment source, rate and attrition rate), acceptability (usability, usefulness and satisfaction) and the potential effectiveness (to inform the required sample size for a fully powered randomised control trial) of a four week internet-based ACT intervention for postpartum parents on depression.
This is a prospective, single-center, randomized control study to determine if video education at the time of postpartum discharge improves patient knowledge on the warning signs for the top three causes of severe maternal morbidity (infection, hemorrhage, and blood pressure disorders) in the first seven days following delivery. Participants will be randomized to written discharge education + video education (intervention) vs standard discharge education (control). They will complete a baseline questionnaire and a post-discharge education questionnaire during their postpartum stay to assess for knowledge improvement. The investigators hypothesize that video education will improve patient's knowledge of severe maternal morbidity warning signs.

Real laughter is often experienced during laughter meditation; it's contagious and may trigger laughter in other people in the group, hence the group can establish greater connections with its members. Laughter yoga sessions are always held at the same time and in the same place to encourage the participation of individuals. has been done.
The primary purpose of this study was to evaluate whether the safe-use conditions for administration of brexanolone (ZULRESSO®) can be implemented in a home setting.
Mothers and birthing parents (hereafter referred to as mothers) who have recovered from Postpartum Depression and are well now, receive training to teach a 9 week Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) treatment to mothers who are feeling depressed after giving birth in the last year. Eligible mothers are randomly assigned to one of two groups. Mothers in one group will receive a 9 week group CBT intervention delivered online by the trained Peer facilitators. Mothers in the other group will not receive the CBT group intervention and will continue to receive treatment as usual or regular care for new mothers. Mothers in both groups will complete online questionnaires three times - when participants start the study, nine weeks later and six months after that. Mothers in the intervention group will also complete a few questionnaires once during the intervention and a satisfaction questionnaire at end of intervention. Participant information will help determine if the CBT treatment is helpful for postpartum depression.
The aim of this pilot study is to (1) develop a treatment manual for a 1-Day CBT-Based Workshop for preventing postpartum depression that is acceptable to women; (2) recruit 15 women into a pilot workshop and seek their feedback on content, delivery and assessment procedures; and (3) conduct a small pilot randomized controlled trial (n=60) examining the impact of these workshops on rates of PPD when added to care as usual (CAU) more than CAU alone in addition to a 90-minute information session on PPD.
A parallel group RCT with experimental (immediate workshop) and waitlist control (treatment 12 weeks later) groups will address our objectives. All participants will be asked to complete study questionnaires at baseline (T1, 3 weeks before the intervention/first workshop) and 12 weeks later (T2, just prior to the waitlist control/second workshop). Workshops will be delivered by trained peer leaders (women who have recovered from PPD). The study will aim to determine if online 1-day CBT-based workshops for PPD delivered by trained lay peers added to care as usual during the COVID-19 pandemic: (1) can improve PPD more than usual care alone, (2) are cost-effective, (3) can reduce the impact of common comorbidities and complications of PPD including anxiety, partner-relationship discord, social support, infant temperament, parenting stress, and poorer mother-infant attachment.
The primary objective of this study is to determine if online group CBT for PPD delivered by public health nurses is superior to postnatal care as usual in: a) acutely treating PPD, b) reducing relapse and recurrence, c) improving common comorbidities and complications of PPD including anxiety and the mother-infant relationship, and d) to determine if this treatment is cost-effective.
The purpose of this study is to test patient feasibility and acceptability of virtual reality biofeedback program in postpartum women for anxiety and depression outcomes.
